VNF scaling with reserved resources
Tacker allows you to configure reserved compute resources in
reservation policy. The compute resources should be first reserved in
the OpenStack Blazar service by creating leases which can
then be configured in the VNFD template.
TOSCA schema for reservation policy
Tacker defines TOSCA schema for the reservation policy as given below:
tosca.policies.tacker.Reservation:
derived_from: tosca.policies.Reservation
reservation:
start_actions:
type: map
entry_schema:
type: string
required: true
before_end_actions:
type: map
entry_schema:
type: string
required: true
end_actions:
type: map
entry_schema:
type: string
required: true
properties:
lease_id:
type: string
required: trueFollowing TOSCA snippet shows VNFD template using reservation policy. In this policy, you can see there are three different types of actions.
- start_actions
- before_end_actions
- end_actions
In these actions, you can configure multiple actions but scaling policy is mandatory in start_actions and one of before_end_actions or end_actions. The scaling policy configured in the start_actions will be scaling-out policy so configure max_instances as per the compute resources reserved in the Blazar service and the scaling policy configured in either of before_end_actions or end_actions will be scaling-in policy so configure min_instances to 0. Also, default_instances should be set to 0 because we don't want VDUs until tacker receives the lease start trigger from Blazar through Aodh service. The parameter increment should also be set equal to max_instances as tacker will receive lease start trigger only once during the lifecycle of a lease.

Note
The server_group_id parameter should be specified in VDU section only when reservation resource type is virtual:instance. Operator shouldn't configure both placement policy under policies and server_group_id in VDU in VNFD template otherwise the server_group_id specified in VDU will be superseded by the server group that will be created by heat for placement policy.

receive a start_lease event at 2019-04-24T20:00:00. Tacker
will start scaling-out process and you should notice VDUs will be
