|
What we do
The STF 563 creates and maintains the OpenAPI representations of
multiple versions of NFV Release 2 and Release 3 API specifications.
In particular the STF takes care of SOL002, SOL003 and SOL005
specifications in their versions v2.5.1, v2.6.1 and v3.1.1.
For more details, see our Terms of Reference
Why we do it
The OpenAPI representations of the APIs can be regarded as a
representation of the contents of the corresponding ETSI NFV GSs in a
machine-processable language. The availability of the OpenAPI
representations of ETSI NFV SOL specifications to the industry is
intended to facilitate the development and validation of products
exposing or consuming the specified APIs, as well as easing
interoperability among products from different vendors.
How we do it
The STF will identify the main OpenAPI relevant differences among
subsequent SOL specification versions and will translate them into
updates to the related OpenAPI representations. Continuous maintenance
and bug fixing cycles will also be implemented to consolidate the
produced OpenAPI representations.
Deliverables
The OpenAPI specifications for NFV produced by the STF will be
contributed to DMI/NFV-SOL008 work item of ISG NFV.
