This document includes a data model for assets lifecycle management and operations. The primary objective of the data model is to measure and improve the network operators' experience along the lifecycle journey, from technical requirements and technology selection through renewal, including the end of life of an asset.¶
This model is based on the information model introduced in [I-D.draft-palmero-opsawg-ps-almo-00].¶
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.¶

The virtualization of hardware assets and the development of applications using microservice architecture for cloud-native infrastructure created new utilization and licensing models. For example, a service can be deployed by composing multiple assets together; where an asset refers to hardware, software, application, system or service. The service could also be instantiated dynamically. As an example, cloud-native infrastructures from one vendor may be hosted on the physical server from another vendor or a combination of multiple cloud-native functions from one or more vendors can be combined to execute any service.¶
This introduces challenges for both lifecycle and adoption management of the assets. For example, a user may need to identify the capability availability of different assets or measure the usage of each capability (or the combination) from any specific asset to measure its optimal potential. Moreover, a user could pinpoint the reason: the software application could not be optimally deployed, or is not simple to use, or is not well documented, etc. The user may use feed such measurements and analysis metrics back to the support engineers and the developers, so they can focus their work effort only on features that users are adopting, or even determine when the lifecycle of the development could end.¶
This creates the need to collect and analyze asset-centric lifecycle management and operations data. From now on this data will be referred as Lifecycle Management and Operations (LMO); where LMO is not limited to virtualized or cloud environments, it covers all types of networking environments in which technology assets are deployed.¶
LMO data constitutes data needed to measure asset-centric lifecycle metrics including but not limited to asset adoption and usability, licensing, supported features and capabilities, enabled features and capabilities, etc. The primary objective is to facilitate the asset lifecycle management from the initial asset selection and positioning, licensing, feature enablement and usage, and beyond renewal to improve the overall user experience.¶
The main challenge in collecting LMO-related data, especially in a multi-vendor environment, relies on the ability to produce and consume such data in a vendor-agnostic, consistent and synchronized manner. Another challenge will be to maintain/cleanup the data (e.g., update it with EoL/EoS). APIs or telemetry are meant to collect and relay this data to receiving equipment for storing, analysis and/or visualization.¶
This document describes the motivation for LMO, lists use cases, followed by the information model and data model of LMO. The list of use cases describes the need for new functional blocks and their interactions. The current version of this document focuses on assets, entitlement information, features, feature's usage and events to report. This document specifies five YANG modules [RFC7950] focused on LMO, including:¶
This document is organized as follows. Section 2 establishes the terminology and abbreviations. In Section 3, the goals and motivation of LMO are discussed. In Section 4, use cases are introduced. Section 5 specifies the information model and the data models for LMO.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
The document makes uses of the following terms:¶
Abbreviations:¶
The user experience with a specific asset can be organized into four classes:¶
The ability to measure, produce and consume LMO could benefit the user organization in addressing issues such as:¶
In addition to the resolution of incidents, LMO could allow developer organizations to optimize the features they offer. For example, they could consider deprecating features that are used infrequently or focus on introducing more features for the assets that are widely deployed in various infrastructures.¶
LMO also covers the need of communication between users and the developer. LMO can provide the capability for users to provide feedback about any asset (e.g., potential deficiency of a feature, feature enhancement request). An administrator in the user organization may include specific metrics that identify a potential problem of that specific feature or a capability of the asset. An engineer in the developer organization can determine the impact of the potential deficiency from the number of users providing feedback. Note that this channel is different from a "call to a Technical Assistance Center" in which the user may request help in resolving operational issues with the asset.¶
An operations engineer would like to understand which entitlements are activated and which are used and/or consumed. It is also important for asset users to understand which features within their assets might need a entitlement and how to activate them.¶
It is relatively straightforward to have an inventory of existing entitlements when there is only one asset developer (providing the asset) and one asset family.¶
But complexity grows when there are many different developers, systems and processes involved. New service offerings have introduced new attributes and datasets and require alignment with new business models (pay-per-product, subscription model, pay-as-you-go model, etc.). They might support different entitlement types and models: asset activation keys, trust-based model, systems that act as proxy from the back end owned by the asset developer to support the control of entitlements, etc.¶
Sometimes it is a challenge to report which entitlements have been bought by the asset user, or who in the user organization owns that entitlement because that information might rely on different asset developers; even within the same asset developer, entitlements may correspond to different types or groups of assets. Asset users often need to interact with different entitlement systems and processes.¶
Information on how assets are entitled could be delivered from a combination of attributes such as: sales order, purchase order, asset activation key, serial number, etc.¶
If there is no consistency on how to deal with those data points, complexity increases for the consumer, potentially requiring manual steps. Automating those manual steps or exceptions becomes time-consuming, eventually leading to higher costs for the asset consumer.¶
Having a common data model for LMO eases the integration between different data sources, processes, and consolidation of the information under a common reference.¶
Feature logic is required to identify the configured features from the running configuration and determine how they might be used. There is often a lack of an easy method to list any configured features available in the current asset.¶
This information is extracted from the running configuration many times, implemented by a rule system without having an easy method to list any configured features available in the current asset.¶
Some of these use cases need to be built on top of others, and from them, other more complex use cases could be created. For instance, Software Compliance use cases can be automated, based on use cases like security advisory, errata, End of Life(EOL), etc.¶
All this brings a complete set of use cases that fulfills Lifecycle Management of assets, complementing and providing metrics on how asset users are using assets and how their experience from using those assets can be improved.¶
Current approach to quantify how an asset is used, requires volume or aggregated usage/consumption metrics related to deployed assets, functions, features, integrations, etc. Also the need to quantify which metrics might be associated to a user, an organization, to specific services and how often are used; while others may be based on pre agreed profile (contractural or usage) of intented use. Examples include:¶
The information models and data models for LMO include data fields to support metrics that might be required by consumption-based charging and licensing of asset usage.¶
Network, software and cloud engineers would like to be aware of known issues that are causing assets to crash so that they can act to remediate the issue quickly, or even prevent the crash if alerts are triggered on time. There are analytics tools that can process memory core dumps and crash-related files, providing the ability to the asset developers to determine the root cause.¶
Accordingly, asset users can remediate the problem, automate the remedy to enable incident deflection, allowing the support staff to focus on new problems. The goal of introducing normalization is not to define attributes for each of the elements being part of the crash information, but the results of RMC should be normalized and registered.¶
Risk Mitigation Check could also include the possibility to be aware of current and historical restarts allowing network and software engineers to enhance the service quality to asset users.¶
Both hardware and software critical issues or Errata need development to automate asset user matching:¶
Engineering might develop the logic to check whether any critical issue applies to a single serial number or a specific software release.¶
The information to be correlated includes customer identification, entitlement, and asset information that the asset user might own. All this information needs to be correlated with hardware and software Errata, and EOL information to show which part of the asset inventory might be affected.¶
The Security Advisory use case automates the matching of asset user data to security bulletins published by asset
developers.
Security Advisory logic implemented by developers could apply to a specific software release.¶
The objective of the Optimal Software Version (OSV) use case is that consumers can mark software images as OSV for their assets; based on this, it is easier for them to control and align their hardware and software assets to the set of OSVs.¶
Based on the logic of OSV, use cases like software compliance, risk trend analysis, acknowledge bugs, security advisories, errata, what-if analysis, etc., could be realized.¶
All the assets should be at their latest recommended software version in case a security update is required to address a security issue of a specific feature.¶
The Software Conformance use case provides a view to the asset users and informs the users whether the assets that belong to a specific group conforms to the OSV or not. It can provide the users with a report, including a representation of software compliance for the entire network and software applications. This report could include the current software version running on the asset and the recommended software version. The report could enable users to quickly highlight which group of assets might need the most attention to inspire appropriate actions.¶
The Software Conformance use case uses data that might not be provided by the asset itself. Data needs to be provided and maintained also by the asset developers, through e.g., asset catalog information. Similar logic applies to a feature catalog, where the asset developer maintains the data and updates it adequately based on existing bugs, security advisories, etc.¶
The Software Conformance process needs to correlate the Software catalog information with the software version running on the asset.¶
The Risk Trend Analysis use case provides customers with a risk trend analysis, summarizing what might change before applying changes, including registered bugs, security advisories and errata.¶
The What-if Analysis use case allows asset users to plan for new hardware or software, giving them the possibility to change the config parameters or model how new hardware or software might change the software suggestions generated by OSV.¶
OSV and the associated use cases involve dependencies on attributes that might need to be collected from assets directly, including related inventory information (serial numbers, asset identifiers, software versions, etc.), but also dynamic information could be required, like:¶
Those catalogs and data sources with errata information, EOL, etc. need to be maintained and updated by asset developers, making sure, that the software running on the assets is safe to run and up to date.¶
Hardware EOL reports need to map Hardware EOL PIDs, focusing on base PIDs so that bundles, spares, non-base PIDs, etc., do not provide false EOL reporting to asset users. Software EOL reports are used to automate the matching of user software type and software version to software EOL bulletins.¶
The broad metric classes defined in section 3 that quantify user experience can be modeled as shown in Figure 1. There is an inventory of all assets that the user possesses. Each asset in the inventory may be entitled to one or more entitlements; a entitlement may contain one or more sub-entitlements. The level of usage for each feature and entitlement associated with the asset is measured. For every asset, a list of events report could be created.¶
For example, a user needs to measure the utilization of a specific entitlement for a specific type of asset. The information about the entitlement may reside in a entitlement server. The state (activated or not) of the entitlement may reside with the asset itself or a proxy. They can be aggregated/correlated as per the information model shown in Figure 1 to give information to the user regarding the utilization of the entitlements. The user experience is thus enhanced by having accurate knowledge about the utility of the given entitlement.¶

¶
The model allows for future expansion by new metrics that will quantify network operator and user experience. Notice that future asociation relationship and future expansion might be linked to asset or to one of the other datasets: Feature, Usage or Entitlements. An example of future association is Event Report module, as well as User and Organization data models introduced in the next section. For sake of simplicity they have not been included in Figure 1; they have direct association with asset. Also, feature usage are split into two different YANG modules: Feature and Usage.¶

<CODE ENDS>¶
LMO Data Models defines the data schemas for LMO data. LMO Data Models are based on YANG. YANG data models can be used independent of the transport and can be converted into any encoding format supported by the network configuration protocol. YANG is a protocol independent.¶
To enable the exchange of LMO data among all interested parties, deployment considerations that are out of the scope of this document, will need to include:¶
The security considerations mentioned in section 17 of [RFC7950] apply.¶
LMO brings several security and privacy implications because of the various components and attributes of the information model. For example, each functional component can be tampered with to give manipulated data. LMO when used alone or with other relevant data, can identify an individual, revealing Personal Identifiable Information (PII). Misconfigurations can lead to data being accessed by unauthorized entities.¶
Methods exist to secure the communication of management information. The transport entity of the functional model MUST implement methods for secure transport. This document also contains an Information model and Data-Model in which none of the objects defined are writable. If the objects are deemed sensitive in a particular environment, access to them MUST be restricted using appropriately configured security and access control rights. The information model contains several optional elements which can be enabled or disabled for the sake of privacy and security. Proper authentication and audit trail MUST be included for all the users/processes that access the LMO.¶

The ideas in this document originate from early work by Tony Colon, Carlos Pignataro, and Yenu Gobena originally referred to as Experience Telemetry.¶
This document was created by meaningful contributions from Josh Suhr, Eric Vyncke, Yannis Viniotis, Nagendra Kumar Nainar, Yenu Gobena, Dhiren Tailor and Jan Lindblad.¶
The authors wish to thank Gonzalo Salgueiro, Martin Beverley, Ignacio Dominguez Martinez and many others for their helpful comments and suggestions.¶
Hardware network inventory is described as part of network topology which is defined in [RFC8345], it has been explored in several IETF work as it might need an extension for some of the use cases that need to consume inventory information. This is the case for DMLMO, as assets are defined as hardware, software or even service instances.¶
This section summarizes and provides an example with the changes to make DMLMO compatible to any future changes that will come as part of the current inventory discussions and decisions.¶
DMLMO version -09 provides the approach to make DMLMO independent from the network inventory discussions, providing a way to consume any inventory management module(s). Version -09 contains changes to accommodate ietf-lmo-assets, aka ietf-lmo-assets-inventory in previous versions, to any other inventory module that might be required.¶
The following example considers iana-hardware and ietf-network-inventory YANG modules as inventory YANG modules to consider. It could include others, i.e., openconfig-platform.¶

<CODE ENDS>¶
The YANG modules ietf-lmo-example-mapping-ietf-network-inventory and ietf-lmo-example-mapping-openconfig-platform make the import of the inventory module(s) and augment the ietf-lmo-assets YANG module to include inventory attributes to the asset identity.¶
For this practice, ietf-lmo-assets.yang, removes vendor, name, description, pid, serial-number, vid, mac-address, ip-address, entity-name, product-description, udi, transparency-info as these and similar properties are expected to be managed using other inventory mechanism.¶
This process requires to include a mapping YANG module per imported inventory YANG module.¶
Module ietf-lmo-example-mapping-ietf-network-inventory, makes the mapping between ietf-network-inventory and ietf-lmo-assets, augmenting asset identity:¶

<CODE ENDS>¶
Once compilation is applied to the YANG modules, the following configuration, considers network element "router2" as a hardware network element, which is described under network-inventory YANG module:¶
network-inventory network-elements network-element 22222 name router2 hardware-rev 1.1 software-rev 17.1 mfg-name cisco serial-number AF123456 product-name ASR1k components component fan part-number 678678 components component psu part-number 654321¶
"router2" asset identity is augmented including attributes from ietf-network-inventory(i.e. rack-equipment-room-ref, rack-ref, network-element-ref, etc) and any other imported YANG module, i.e. openconfig-platform inventory YANG modules, with oc-component-ref.¶
lmo0(config)#lmos lmo asset inst router2 ?
Possible completions:
activation-date age aggregation capture-info component-network-element-ref
component-ref ietf-lmo-asset:deployment-mode ietf-lmo-feature:features install-location interfaces
licenses network-element-ref number-of-instances oc-component-ref parent
platform-dependency-os rack-equipment-room-ref rack-ref role sign-of-life-timestamp
software-type software-version tags¶
Changes in future versions of DMLMO, might require one unique import statement in the mapping YANG module, from another inventory YANG module.¶
