Virtual Resource Manager Clause Samples

Virtual Resource Manager. The Virtual Resource Manager (VRM) is in charge of the management and monitoring of the resources related to the 5G Virtualisation Platform available in each stakeholder domain adopting the 5GZORRO Platform. The management of the resources is implemented through a set of functionalities that enables the owner of the resources to store and catalogue them in terms of templates, descriptors and packages and includes the onboarding of the resources into the internal catalogue of the target VIM/orchestrator, when needed. Another feature related to the resource management is the direct support to the 5G Offer Catalogue. In this case, the resource manager implements an internal translation logic, invocable on demand, that translates the descriptor of the resources stored into the proper service and resources models defined by the TM Forum (see Section 4.1. 2.1). The possibility to implement a service that enables the VRM to be used as VNF/CNF remote repository is still under discussion. For what concerns the monitoring, the internal module called MDA (Monitoring Data Aggregator) retrieves resource statistics from the underlying virtualization platform (e.g., NFVO, Radio Controller, etc.), aggregates them on the basis of a certain configurable rules and, finally, sends them to the platform Data Lake via ▇▇▇▇▇ Bus.
