Fabric Control Framework

Control Framework

This repository contains Fabric Control Framework and Actor implementations.

Overview

Fabric Control Framework has 3 actors

• Controller
• Broker
• Aggregate Manager

Broker

Broker is an agent of CF that collects resource availability information from multiple aggregate managers and can make resource promises on their behalf. More details can be found here

Aggregate Manager

AM is a CF agent responsible for managing aggregate resources. Is under the control of the owner of the aggregate. Provides promises of resources to brokers and controllers/ orchestrators. More details can be found here

Orchestrator

Orchestrator is an agent of CF that makes allocation decisions (embedding) of user requests into available resources. Communicates with user to collect slice requests, communicates with broker or aggregate managers to collect resource promises, communicates with aggregate managers to provision promised resources. Creates slices, configures resources, maintains their state, modifies slices and slivers. More details can be found here

Requirements

Python 3.7+

Configuration

Example configuration files for Network AM, VM AM and Broker can be found under config directory:

$ ls -ltr config

-rw-r--r--  1 komalthareja  staff  4312 Jul 14 14:38 config.net-am.yaml
-rw-r--r--  1 komalthareja  staff  7277 Jul 14 14:38 config.vm-am.yaml
-rw-r--r--  1 komalthareja  staff  3746 Jul 14 14:38 config.broker.yaml
-rw-r--r--  1 komalthareja  staff  3746 Jul 14 14:38 config.orchestrator.yaml

Build Docker Images

Authority Docker Image

docker build -f Dockerfile-auth -t authority .

Broker Docker Image

docker build -f Dockerfile-broker -t broker .

Orchestrator Docker Image

docker build -f Dockerfile-orchestrator -t orchestrator .

Devlopment Deployment

Development Deployment requires local Kafa cluster. Below steps specify how to bring up development Kafka Cluster

Kafka Cluster

Generate Credentials

You must generate CA certificates (or use yours if you already have one) and then generate a keystore and truststore for brokers and clients.

cd $(pwd)/secrets
./create-certs.sh
cd -

Set the environment variable for the docker-compose. Copy env.template as .env. Below is shown an example configuration in .env

# docker-compose environment file
#
# When you set the same environment variable in multiple files,
# here’s the priority used by Compose to choose which value to use:
#
#  1. Compose file
#  2. Shell environment variables
#  3. Environment file
#  4. Dockerfile
#  5. Variable is not defined

# Kafka configuration
KAFKA_SSL_SECRETS_DIR=./secrets

Bring up the containers

You can use the docker-compose-kafka.yaml file to bring up a simple Kafka cluster containing

• broker
• zookeeper
• schema registry

Use the below command to bring up the cluster

docker-compose -f docker-compose-kafka.yaml up -d

This should bring up following containers:
