| 1 | +# NetApp Manager Architecture |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The NetApp Manager uses a layered architecture with dependency injection, providing maintainability, testability, and separation of concerns. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Architecture Layers |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### 1. NetAppManager (Orchestration Layer) |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- **File**: `netapp_manager.py` |
| 12 | +- **Purpose**: Orchestrates operations across multiple services |
| 13 | +- **Key Features**: |
| 14 | + - Maintains all existing public method signatures |
| 15 | + - Delegates operations to appropriate service layers |
| 16 | + - Handles cross-service coordination (e.g., cleanup operations) |
| 17 | + - Manages dependency injection for all services |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### 2. Service Layer |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- **Files**: `netapp_svm_service.py`, `netapp_volume_service.py`, `netapp_lif_service.py` |
| 22 | +- **Purpose**: Implements business logic and naming conventions for specific NetApp resource types |
| 23 | +- **Key Features**: |
| 24 | + - Encapsulates business rules (e.g., SVM naming: `os-{project_id}`) |
| 25 | + - Handles resource-specific operations and validation |
| 26 | + - Provides clean interfaces for the orchestration layer |
| 27 | + - 100% test coverage with mocked dependencies |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +### 3. Client Abstraction Layer |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- **File**: `netapp_client.py` |
| 32 | +- **Purpose**: Provides a thin abstraction over the NetApp ONTAP SDK |
| 33 | +- **Key Features**: |
| 34 | + - Converts between value objects and SDK objects |
| 35 | + - Handles low-level NetApp API interactions |
| 36 | + - Implements the NetAppClientInterface for testability |
| 37 | + - Manages SDK connection lifecycle |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### 4. Infrastructure Components |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +#### Configuration Management |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **File**: `netapp_config.py` |
| 44 | +- **Purpose**: Centralized configuration parsing and validation |
| 45 | +- **Features**: Type-safe configuration with validation |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +#### Error Handling |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- **File**: `netapp_error_handler.py` |
| 50 | +- **Purpose**: Centralized error handling and logging |
| 51 | +- **Features**: Context-aware error translation and structured logging |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +#### Value Objects |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +- **File**: `netapp_value_objects.py` |
| 56 | +- **Purpose**: Immutable data structures for NetApp operations |
| 57 | +- **Features**: Type-safe specifications and results for all operations |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +#### Custom Exceptions |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- **File**: `netapp_exceptions.py` |
| 62 | +- **Purpose**: Domain-specific exception hierarchy |
| 63 | +- **Features**: Structured error information with context |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Dependency Flow |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +```text |
| 68 | +NetAppManager |
| 69 | + ├── SvmService ──────┐ |
| 70 | + ├── VolumeService ───┼── NetAppClient ── NetApp SDK |
| 71 | + ├── LifService ──────┘ |
| 72 | + ├── NetAppConfig |
| 73 | + └── ErrorHandler |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +## Key Benefits |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +### 1. Maintainability |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +- Clear separation of concerns |
| 81 | +- Single responsibility principle |
| 82 | +- Dependency injection enables easy component replacement |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### 2. Testability |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +- Each layer can be tested in isolation |
| 87 | +- Service layer has 100% test coverage |
| 88 | +- Mock-friendly interfaces reduce test complexity |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### 3. API Stability |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +- All existing NetAppManager public methods unchanged |
| 93 | +- Same method signatures and return values |
| 94 | +- Existing code continues to work without modification |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### 4. Extensibility |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +- New NetApp operations can be added at the appropriate layer |
| 99 | +- Business logic changes isolated to service layer |
| 100 | +- SDK changes isolated to client layer |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## Usage Examples |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +### Basic Usage (Unchanged) |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```python |
| 107 | +# Existing code continues to work |
| 108 | +manager = NetAppManager("/path/to/config.conf") |
| 109 | +svm_name = manager.create_svm("project-123", "aggregate1") |
| 110 | +volume_name = manager.create_volume("project-123", "1TB", "aggregate1") |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Advanced Usage with Dependency Injection |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +```python |
| 116 | +# For testing or custom configurations |
| 117 | +config = NetAppConfig("/custom/config.conf") |
| 118 | +error_handler = ErrorHandler() |
| 119 | +client = NetAppClient(config, error_handler) |
| 120 | +svm_service = SvmService(client, error_handler) |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +# Use services directly if needed |
| 123 | +svm_name = svm_service.create_svm("project-123", "aggregate1") |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +## Testing Strategy |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Unit Tests |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +- Each service tested with mocked NetAppClient |
| 131 | +- Value objects tested for validation and immutability |
| 132 | +- Configuration and error handling tested independently |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Integration Tests |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +- NetAppManager tested with mocked services |
| 137 | +- Cross-service coordination tested (e.g., cleanup operations) |
| 138 | +- API compatibility verified |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +## Potential Future Enhancements |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +The new architecture enables several future improvements: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +1. **Async Operations**: Service layer can be enhanced with async/await |
| 145 | +2. **Caching**: Client layer can add intelligent caching |
| 146 | +3. **Metrics**: Error handler can emit metrics for monitoring |
| 147 | +4. **Multi-tenancy**: Service layer can handle multiple NetApp clusters |
| 148 | +5. **Configuration Hot-reload**: Config layer can support dynamic updates |
