O-RAN-SC Hello World Xapp in Python

This repository contains open-source code for a prototype python xAPP for near real-time RAN Intelligent Controller which makes use of python Xapp Framework.

This xAPP aims to provide basic implementation of :

  1. A1 interfaces interactions

  2. Read-write operations into a persistent storage.

  3. xAPP Configuration management

  4. RMR Health Check

  5. xAPP SDL Check

  6. Raising alarms

  7. Generating metrics (TBD)

  8. E2 Interface intereactions (TBD)

Introduction

This document provides guidelines on how to install and configure the HW Python xAPP in various environments/operating modes. The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in RIC Platform.

Preface

This xAPP can be run directly as a Linux binary, as a docker image, or in a pod in a Kubernetes environment. The first two can be used for dev testing. The last option is how an xAPP is deployed in the RAN Intelligent Controller environment. This covers all three methods.

  1. Docker

  2. Linux Binary

  3. Kubernetes

##Build Process

The HW xAPP can be either tested as a Linux binary or as a docker image.

  1. Linux binary: The HW xAPP may be compiled and invoked directly. Pre-requisite software packages that must be installed prior to compiling are documented in the Dockerfile in the repository.

  2. Docker Image:For building docker images, the Docker environment must be present in the system.

    Change to the root of the repository

    $ docker --no-cache build -t hw-python ./

Software Installation and Deployment

Onboarding of hw-python using dms_cli tool

dms_cli offers rich set of command line utility to onboard hw-python xapp to chartmuseme.

First checkout the hw-python repository from gerrit.

git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-app/hw-python"

hw-python has following folder structure

+---docs
|           
+---hw_python.egg-info
|       
+---init
|       config-file.json # descriptor for xapp deployment.
|       init_script.py
|       test_route.rt
|       schema.json #schema for validating the config-file.json
|       
+---releases
|       
+---resources
|       
+---src

For onboarding hw-python make sure that dms_cli and helm3 is installed. One can follow documentation to configure dms_cli.

Once dms_cli is availabe we can proceed to onboarding proceure.

configure the export CHART_REPO_URL to point chartmuseme.

$export CHART_REPO_URL=http://<service-ricplt-xapp-onboarder-http.ricplt>:8080

check if dms_cli working fine.

$ dms_cli health
True

Now move to init folder to initiate onboarding.

$ cd init

$ dms_cli onboard --config_file_path=config-file.json --shcema_file_path=schema.json
httpGet:
  path: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "httpGet" "path" | toJson }}'
  port: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "httpGet" "port" | toJson }}'
initialDelaySeconds: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "initialDelaySeconds" | toJson }}'
periodSeconds: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "periodSeconds" | toJson }}'

httpGet:
  path: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "httpGet" "path" | toJson }}'
  port: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "httpGet" "port" | toJson }}'
initialDelaySeconds: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "initialDelaySeconds" | toJson }}'
periodSeconds: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "periodSeconds" | toJson }}'

{
    "status": "Created"
}

Check if hw-python is onborded

$ curl --location --request GET "http://<appmgr>:32080/onboard/api/v1/charts"  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'
{
    "hw-python": [
        {
            "name": "hw-python",
            "version": "1.0.0",
            "description": "Standard xApp Helm Chart",
            "apiVersion": "v1",
            "appVersion": "1.0",
            "urls": [
                "charts/hw-python-1.0.0.tgz"
            ],
            "created": "2021-07-05T15:07:34.518377486Z",
            "digest": "e9db874d35154643a2c6f26dd52929c9dcf143f165683c03d07518bb0c2d768d"
        }
    ],
    "hw-python": [
        {
            "name": "hw-python",
            "version": "1.0.0",
            "description": "Standard xApp Helm Chart",
            "apiVersion": "v1",
            "appVersion": "1.0",
            "urls": [
                "charts/hw-python-1.0.0.tgz"
            ],
            "created": "2021-07-05T15:20:13.965653743Z",
            "digest": "975b1da1f8669e8ed1b1e5be809e7cf4841ef33abcb88207bc3a735e9b543a9a"
        }
    ]
}

If we would wish to download the charts then we can perform following curl operation :

curl --location --request GET "http://<appmgr>:32080/onboard/api/v1/charts/xapp/hw-python/ver/1.0.0"  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --output hw-python.tgz

The downloaded folder has the deployment files for hw-python

tar -xvzf hw-python.tgz
hw-python/Chart.yaml
hw-python/values.yaml
hw-python/templates/_helpers.tpl
hw-python/templates/appconfig.yaml
hw-python/templates/appenv.yaml
hw-python/templates/deployment.yaml
hw-python/templates/service-http.yaml
hw-python/templates/service-rmr.yaml
hw-python/config/config-file.json
hw-python/descriptors/schema.json

Now the onboarding is done.

Deployment of hw-python

Once charts are available we can deploy the the hw-python using following curl command :

$ curl --location --request POST "http://<appmgr>:32080/appmgr/ric/v1/xapps"  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'  --data-raw '{"xappName": "hw-python", "helmVersion": "1.0.0"}'
{"instances":null,"name":"hw-python","status":"deployed","version":"1.0"}

Deployment will be done in ricxapp ns :

# kubectl get pods -n ricxapp
NAME                                 READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
ricxapp-hw-python-64b5447dcc-mbt5w   1/1     Running   0          5m45s

       CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)             AGE
aux-entry                        ClusterIP   10.111.35.76     <none>        80/TCP,443/TCP      9d
service-ricxapp-hw-python-http   ClusterIP   10.104.223.245   <none>        8080/TCP            6m23s
service-ricxapp-hw-python-rmr    ClusterIP   10.103.243.21    <none>        4560/TCP,4561/TCP   6m23s

Now we can query to appmgr to get list of all the deployed xapps :

# curl http://service-ricplt-appmgr-http.ricplt:8080/ric/v1/xapps | jq .
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

        ],
        "status": "running",
        "txMessages": [
          "RIC_SUB_REQ",
          "A1_POLICY_RESP",
          "A1_POLICY_QUERY",
          "RIC_HEALTH_CHECK_RESP"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "name": "hw-python",
    "status": "deployed",

  }
]
