v0.4.1

v0.4.1 - 2024-10-30

Fixed

• Generalization of the functions defined in the file file_handler.py in the utils directory.
• Purge trial network when state is validated.

v0.4.0

v0.4.0 - 2024-10-24

Added

• Concurrency support in the Flask application by integrating Gunicorn to handle multiple simultaneous requests, improving responsiveness and performance.
• Trial network isolation to run several networks in parallel. The number of parallel trial networks is determined by the value of the environment variable GUNICORN_WORKERS minus 1. By default, GUNICORN_WORKERS is set to 3, allowing two trial networks to be executed concurrently. To execute sequentially, the number of GUNICORN_WORKERS has to be 2.
• TNLCM folder is created in jenkins. For each trial network its own pipeline is created to guarantee the isolation and to be able to execute several at the same time.
• TRIAL_NETWORKS readme file added in the docs directory to explain defined trial networks.
• Initial CLI handler to execute commands.
• Git switch method for streamlined repository management.
• Callback collection in database for answers generated by jenkins on entity deployment.
• Utils directory with required functions.
• Scripts directory with the following deployment scripts:
  • deploy_vm.sh: deploy TNLCM and MongoDB in a virtual machine.
  • deploy_docker.sh: deploy TNLCM and MongoDB using Docker.

Changed

• Updated Python to version 3.13.0.
• Updated MongoDB to version 8.0.
• Improved README documentation for better clarity and usage guidelines.
• Migrated from the ansible-vault library to ansible-core since only this module is of interest.
• Renamed ANSIBLE_VAULT variable in .env.template to SITES_TOKEN for clarity.
• Moved the implementation from the resource_manager directory to the resource manager within the models directory.
• Rename trial_networks, users and verification_tokens collections to trial_network, user and verification_token.
• Rename columns tn_state, tn_date_created_utc, tn_raw_descriptor, tn_sorted_descriptor, tn_deployed_descriptor, tn_report and tn_directory_path to state, date_created_utc, raw_descriptor, sorted_descriptor, deployed_descriptor, report and directory_path in trial_network collection.

Fixed

• Resolved a bug when creating a trial network, where components were defined in the 6G-Sandbox-Sites repository but not in the 6G-Library.
• Trial network can be destroyed if it is in failed state.
• Corrected function documentation to reflect accurate information.
• Message display when checking if a user can access a trial network.
• Enhanced logging for TNLCM processes.
• Issues with JWT and MongoDB error handling.
• Simplified class exception handling for improved readability and maintainability.
