[Fiware-cloud] URGENT: Architecture deliverable

[Alex Glikson]

Dear partners,

Please, read this email carefully (and notice the deadline this Wed).
As you know, the Architecture deliverable is due end of this week, and we 
are behind schedule (my fault). I would like to urge you to give this high 
priority this week, so that we can deliver on time (or with a small 
delay).
I've started transforming the Wiki, and we should be able to work in 
parallel along this week.
First, I've moved all the old architecture pages adding " R3" suffix 
(meaning "Release 3"), with redirects from the original to R3 pages [1].
Then I've created the R4 (meaning Release 4) version of the main 
architecture page: 
https://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Cloud_Hosting_Architecture_R4
I plan to copy the relevant content from the R3 main architecture page, 
and make the necessary updates -- so depending on the time you open this 
page, you might see a work-in-progress.
I envision having the following GEs in the new R4 Architecture (aligned 
with the naming convention for official OpenStack services):
Compute service
Image service (*)
Volume service (*)
Network service (*)
Object storage service 
Identity service
Toolkit
Dashboard
Monitoring service
Policy service
Application management service
Software configuration service

The full names would be "FIWARE Cloud xxx service" -- e.g., "FIWARE Cloud 
Compute Service", "FIWARE Cloud Monitoring Service", etc.

I assume the scope of each of the above is clear (notice that "Application 
management service" is the new name for PaaS & Murano -- we need to have a 
common approach to naming of GEs, aligned with the official OpenStack 
naming conventions). Let me know if you have any 
questions/comments/concerns regarding the approach & the specific 
components.

Ownership of the individual components, as expected, is:
IBM: 1-5
UPM: 6-8
TID: 9-12

Please, notice that the last section on this page, as before, comprises 
links to R4 architecture descriptions of the individual GEs in the NEW 
architecture.
The plan is that the services marked with (*) will be consumed 'as is' 
from an OpenStack repository (by the operations teams), as we don't plan 
to make any changes to them. Hence, they will not have separate 
Architecture Description pages (at least for now) - just links to the 
corresponding community pages. 
Currently all the links are broken. You can just click on the link, and 
start editing the page. The structure should be the same as in R3 pages 
(you can also copy from there the relevant content, of course).

Please, finish editing before our weekly call on Wednesday, so that we can 
have a quick review, discussion & round of further updates if needed, and 
be ready to deliver early next week.
