5. Interfaces and APIs ¶
Table of Contents ¶
5.1 Introduction ¶
This chapter presents a consolidated set of OpenStack Service APIs corresponding to the ETSI NFV Nf-Vi, Vi-Vnfm and Or-Vi interfaces. The OpenStack Train version is used as the baseline for these APIs and CLIs in this Reference Architecture (RA-1) version. Any Cloud Infrastructure + VIM reference implementations that get certified by RC can be considered as Anuket RA Conformant.
The Chapter presents the APIs for the core OpenStack services defined in Chapter 3 and a consolidated view of these and other APIs that are of interest.
OpenStack is a multi-project framework composed of services evolving independently. It is not enough to rely only on the OpenStack release to characterise the capabilities supported by these services. Regarding OpenStack services APIs, an “API version” is associated to each OpenStack service. In addition to major API versions, some OpenStack services (Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder…) support microversions. The microversions allow to introduce new features over time. In this chapter, the major version and microversion are specified per service. The mentioned microversion is the minimal microversion that supports the features requested for Anuket. For the purpose of conformance tests, this chapter also identifies the set of the features, offered by a service, that are mandatory for Anuket compliant implementation.
5.2. Core OpenStack Services APIs ¶
Please note that OpenStack provides a maximum microversion to be used with an OpenStack release. In the following sections the “Maximal API Version” refers to this maximum microversion specified for the OpenStack Train release. Please note that in Reference Conformance (RC-1) testing, the System Under Test (SUT) can utilise newer microversions because of the OpenStack microversion policies. As per multiple OpenStack services documentation, for example the Compute Service , “A cloud that is upgraded to support newer microversions will still support all older microversions to maintain the backward compatibility for those users who depend on older microversions.”

5.3. Consolidated Set of APIs ¶
5.3.1. OpenStack Interfaces ¶
This section illustrates some of the Interfaces provided by OpenStack; the exhaustive list of APIs is available at https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/ .
OpenStack REST APIs are simple to interact with using either of two options. Clients can either call the APIs directly using the HTTP or REST library, or they can use one of the many programming language specific cloud libraries.
