Edge Orchestration
Running enterprise grade edge networks requires top notch management and orchestration solution capable of supporting a huge number of devices and a wide range of operations
• Federated management solution
o Wide horizontal scaling (active-active management clusters)
o Vertical scaling leveraging edge site local (potentially lightweight) managers
• Criteria based orchestration – Automatically match services to deployment sites by context
• Edge dedicated actionable dashboards – easy provisioning and day2 operations
End-to-End Orchestration Manager
Networks are large, complex, and diverse. Existing VNFM solutions run segments of the networks. Cloudify solution provides overarching orchestration management
• Intuitive Service Composition
o Self aware services and sites capable of communication with each other
o Simple intent based declarations (combine advanced plugins into simplified composer actions)
• Policy Driven orchestration – Closed loop automation, Subscribe to deployment changes
Built for the Enterprise
Cloudify solutions are built with enterprise in mind. Operational aspects, regulatory compliance requirements and topology considerations are core themes.
• Manager of managers – scale, ease of deployment and maintenance, balance LOB requirements and operational needs..
• Cloud native - Microservice deployment
• Live updates with short-to-zero downtime
• Security & Ecosystem friendliness - Local user password policy, Audit service
• SaaS hybrid solution

Enhanced Service Composition - Namespaces
Namespaces
Namespaces support in the Cloudify DSL allow for simpler service composition
through embedding blueprints inside other blueprints.
tosca_definitions_version: cloudify_dsl_1_3
imports:
- http://www.getcloudify.org/spec/cloudify/4.5/types.yaml
- web--blueprint:openstack_vm
- DB--blueprint:openstack_vm
node_templates:
app:
type: cloudify.nodes.Application
properties:
host_ip: { get_input: web--ip }
relationships:
- type: contained_in
target: web--vm
- type: connected_to
target: DB--vm
Import blueprint with namespace
Import an instance of the
openstack_vm blueprint and refer
to it as *web*, and another instance
of the same blueprint and refer to it
as *DB*
Inputs include namespace
Node names include namespace
imports:
- plugin:cloudify-openstack-plugin
inputs:
agent_user: centos
default: centos
flavor:
default: m1.medium
ip: {}
node_templates:
vm:
type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
properties:
openstack_config: *openstack_config
agent_config:
user: { get_input: agent_user }
install_method: init_script
flavor: { get_input: flavor }
relationships:
- type: connected_to_security_group
target: security_group

Enhanced Service Composition - Deployment capabilities
Deployment can now declare it’s capabilities, allowing users, scripts and other deployment workflows to query these details in real-time
imports:
- web--blueprint:openstack_vm
node_templates:
app:
type: cloudify.nodes.Application
properties:
db_url: { get_capability: [
get_input: shared_db_dep_name, db_url ] }
imports:
- db--blueprint:openstack_vm
inputs:
...
node_templates:
db:
type: cloudify.nodes.DataBase
properties:
...
capabilities:
db_url: { concat: [ get_attribute: [db, ip], ‘thedb’ ] }
shared_db.yaml my_app.yaml
Deployment declares its
capabilities
Using the capabilities

Enhanced Service Composition
Composite and recursive intrinsic functions
Intrinsic functions allow usage of complex structures such as
lists or YAML and allow the selection of a certain item in
these objects. One may also use this recursively and use an
intrinsic function as a parameter in another intrinsic function
node_templates:
...
vm:
type: cloudify.openstack.nodes.Server
properties:
server:
image_name: { get_input: image_name }
key_name: { get_input: [ vm_info, key_name ] }
node_templates:
...
http_web_server:
type: cloudify.nodes.Compute
properties:
# The parser will first evaluate the result of the inner `get_input` and
# then using it's result, will evaluate the outter get_input.
# If the input available_ports = [8000, 8080] and web_server_port_no = 0,
# then http_web_server.port = 8000.
port: { get_input: [ available_ports, { get_input: web_server_port_no } ] }
...

Service Composition Best Practices
Code Example
● Provisioning of virtual network
appliances across multi-cloud
● Configuration automation through REST,
Ansible, Netconf etc..
● Service Chaining through composite
blueprint.
● Serve as best practice for Service
Chaining, VNFM, Multi Cloud, Enterprise
Networking patterns..

15
Ansible plugin
● Cloudify Automation-First approach allowing users to leverage existing Ansible
playbooks to integrate into Cloudify rather than convert into a Cloudify format.
● Ansible playbooks are referred to via Cloudify blueprints
○ Map lifecycle operations to ansible-playbook runs
● New Examples
● DB-LB-App, a modular application utilizing Ansible Playbooks for MariaDB/Galera Cluster,
HAProxy, and Drupal7.
● Testing Examples with Vagrantfile (OpenVPN, Clearwater, LAMP, etc).
● More information
○ Blog Post
○ Documentation

16
Kubespray support
● Built using the new Ansible Plugin
● Deploy Kubernetes clusters over Azure, AWS, Openstack or GCP.
● Orthogonal to the current Kubernetes plugin
● Example
○ Kubespray blueprint & resources

17
Scheduled and resumable workflows
● Scheduling workflow execution time allows for more granular lifecycle management
○ Schedule updates to maintenance windows
○ Set TTL to trial / temp services
○ Orchestrate network and workload changes adjusting venue edge sites during events
● Resumable workflows allows easy response to deployment / workflow issues

18
OpenStack v3 plugin
● OpenStack v3 is a *new* plugin
● What’s new?
○ Based on OpenStack SDK (recommended approach)
○ Plugin structure based on new best practices
○ Easier blueprint VIM migration
● Backward compatibility via node type aliases.

Stay tuned ...
• Easy definition of different edge targets (types)
• Self aware edge targets allow for zero touch provisioning of
hosted edge services
• Capability and property tagging of services and edge
targets
o Workflow by criteria
• Provision services to edge targets by location / OS / type…
• Mistake free operations - define the audience for every workflow based
on capability / property matching
• Cloudify manager cluster scaling (active-active)
• and much more...
