What is Nokia Continuous Delivery (NCD)?

NCD is the single unified deployment and automation engine, purpose-built to manage the lifecycle of the entire Nokia Core network portfolio. A modular solution, NCD is able to adapt to a variety of customer and third-party CI/CD pipelines with enhanced test automation capabilities. It is built to be future-proof and is based on a cloud-native software architecture using best-in-industry components.

Automated testing

Providing common and universal Test Framework for all verified CNFs with ease of use in mind (creation, execution, reporting). Supporting custom built ‘Test Packages’, where users can create and execute CNF acceptance test cases using their simulator of choice.

Software delivery and management

Secure pull replication from the Nokia Enterprise Artifactory Repository (NEAR) pull cluster to the highly available NCD Repo. NCD Repo Software Catalog provides a coordinated view of ORBs (OCI Release Bundle, where OCI is Open Container Initiative), products, CNF and network service instances.

Automated network function lifecycle management

Deploy, test, upgrade, and rollback network functions through NCOM (Nokia Cloud Operations Manager).

Pipeline and workflow automation

Pretested workflows and creation of custom workflows/pipeline, tasks and actions by CI/CD Services.

CI/CD Services

upload of network functions for deployment through the NCD pipeline

Observability and visibility

Portal to element/component user interface.

NCD Solution Components

The NCD solution consists of four main components

NCD pipeline with NCD Repo, Smart LCM and test framework on K8s CaaS

NCD Pipeline

The cloud or on-premises pipeline for coordinating delivery and testing activities in the deconstructed CI/CD architecture. Important workflows are available and pre-integrated with NCOM and can be customized for customer needs.

NCD Repository

Stores application artifacts on customer premises. Git-based workflow for version-controlled modification of CNF configuration files securely delivered via ORBs pulled from the NEAR pull cluster. NCD Repo is highly available (HA) and supports in-service software upgrade (ISSU).

Test Framework

Provides the execution framework for automated testing of an application and integration of different test harness tools. The Test Framework covers product and domain tests in a customer simulated environment.

Nokia Cloud Operations Manager (NCOM)

Automates the deployment, upgrade, and other lifecycle management operations of Nokia cloud-native applications, application suites, and network services in distributed, multi-tenant, multi-vendor cloud infrastructures while optimizing and governing the use of platform resources.

  • Addressing The Full Operational Spectrum Of Nfv And Cloud Native Domains: Day -1: All infrastructure preparations before service or application can be deployed / instantiated Day 0: Delivery of service or application into the network domain Day +1: Ensuring service or application is operating with the right SLAs
  • Pre Integrated With Nokias Management Stack And Vnfs Cnfs Or Standalone: Part of a tested and validated end-to-end NFV / cloud-native offering or available on a standalone basis
  • Embedded Support For Multi Vim Vnfm Sdn And Kubernetes Caas Solution Integration: Plug-in architecture enables short integration cycles in multi-vendor environments
  • Off The Shelf Multi Cloud Kubernetes Caas Integration: Unified lifecycle management of Nokia CNFs across multi-vendor CaaS Faster time to market due to reduced services work
  • Sdn Integration For Complete Network Service Connectivity: Generic solution for networking requirements of network services across data centers and WAN, interconnected with the VNF deployments across multi-VIM/VNFM environments Decoupling of the VIM, CaaS and SDN controller enables deployment scenarios without VNFs and their VIMs or CNFs and their CaaS platforms.
