OpenSAF4.2 Architecture Features

• IMM Multiple appliers– Enabler for “hot standby” object implementers such as AMF and

applications

– Distribution of configuration in cluster.

– Simpler object implementer logic (less need for internal check pointing)

• IMM further Characteristics improvements– All object implementers will benefit, less blocking calls

– Improved fail/switch-over time

– Reduced CPU load and responsiveness

• AMF Hot Standby Support – Decreased controller switchover & failover times.

OpenSAF4.2 Usability Features

• AMF B.04.01 API

• Improved IMM OI error handling capabilities

• Sample SMF integration with Linux Package

Management

• Application Dependency Modeling Improvements

Beyond 4.2

• Python Bindings for SAF services

• Performance characterization & Improvements– IMM Replication domain– CKPT & MSG

• Remove need for shared file system

• Eco System– Included in Linux distribution(s)– Integrate OpenSAF with Sailfin to test the whole JSR 319 feature

• Language Bindings– Java bindings for OpenSAF services

• EVT, IMM, NTF• AMF & CLM already exist.

• Aligning to Latest SAF specs– AMF B.04.01 (missing Features)– NTF A.03.01– PLM A.01.02 implementation Gaps (Virtualization, multiple domain support)

Beyond 4.2

• Tools

- generating SMF campaigns and AMF model

- generating IMM OI skeletons based on class definitions

• New Services Implementation– Security (SAI-AIS-SEC-A.01.01)

– Naming (SAI-AIS-NAM-A.01.01)

• Security improvements– Start AMF applications as non root

– Restrict/control changes of Information Model
