+
+## Overview
+
+This documents explains the processes and practices recommended for contributing enhancements to
+this operator.
+
+- Generally, before developing enhancements to this charm, you should consider [opening an issue
+  ](https://osm.etsi.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=OSM) explaining your use case. (Component=devops, version=master)
+- If you would like to chat with us about your use-cases or proposed implementation, you can reach
+  us at [OSM Juju public channel](https://opensourcemano.slack.com/archives/C027KJGPECA).
+- Familiarising yourself with the [Charmed Operator Framework](https://juju.is/docs/sdk) library
+  will help you a lot when working on new features or bug fixes.
+- All enhancements require review before being merged. Code review typically examines
+  - code quality
+  - test coverage
+  - user experience for Juju administrators this charm.
+- Please help us out in ensuring easy to review branches by rebasing your gerrit patch onto
+  the `master` branch.
+
+## Developing
+
+You can use the environments created by `tox` for development:
+
+```shell
+tox --notest -e unit
+source .tox/unit/bin/activate
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```shell
+tox -e fmt           # update your code according to linting rules
+tox -e lint          # code style
+tox -e unit          # unit tests
+tox -e integration   # integration tests
+tox                  # runs 'lint' and 'unit' environments
+```
+
+## Build charm
+
+Build the charm in this git repository using:
+
+```shell
+charmcraft pack
+```
+
+### Deploy
+
+```bash
+# Create a model
+juju add-model dev
+# Enable DEBUG logging
+juju model-config logging-config="<root>=INFO;unit=DEBUG"
+# Deploy the charm
+juju deploy ./osm-lcm_ubuntu-22.04-amd64.charm \
+    --resource lcm-image=opensourcemano/lcm:testing-daily --series jammy
+```

+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+
+      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
+      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
+      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
+      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
+      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
+      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the

+"""Library to manage the relation for the data-platform products.
+
+This library contains the Requires and Provides classes for handling the relation
+between an application and multiple managed application supported by the data-team:
+MySQL, Postgresql, MongoDB, Redis,  and Kakfa.
+
+### Database (MySQL, Postgresql, MongoDB, and Redis)
+
+#### Requires Charm
+This library is a uniform interface to a selection of common database
+metadata, with added custom events that add convenience to database management,
+and methods to consume the application related data.
+
+
+Following an example of using the DatabaseCreatedEvent, in the context of the
+application charm code:
+
+```python
+
+from charms.data_platform_libs.v0.data_interfaces import (
+    DatabaseCreatedEvent,
+    DatabaseRequires,
+)
+
+class ApplicationCharm(CharmBase):
+    # Application charm that connects to database charms.
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):
+        super().__init__(*args)
+
+        # Charm events defined in the database requires charm library.
+        self.database = DatabaseRequires(self, relation_name="database", database_name="database")
+        self.framework.observe(self.database.on.database_created, self._on_database_created)
+
+    def _on_database_created(self, event: DatabaseCreatedEvent) -> None:
+        # Handle the created database
+
+        # Create configuration file for app
+        config_file = self._render_app_config_file(
+            event.username,
+            event.password,
+            event.endpoints,
+        )
+
+        # Start application with rendered configuration
+        self._start_application(config_file)
+
+        # Set active status
+        self.unit.status = ActiveStatus("received database credentials")
+```
+
+As shown above, the library provides some custom events to handle specific situations,
+which are listed below:
+
+-  database_created: event emitted when the requested database is created.
+-  endpoints_changed: event emitted when the read/write endpoints of the database have changed.
+-  read_only_endpoints_changed: event emitted when the read-only endpoints of the database
+  have changed. Event is not triggered if read/write endpoints changed too.
+
+If it is needed to connect multiple database clusters to the same relation endpoint
+the application charm can implement the same code as if it would connect to only
+one database cluster (like the above code example).
+
+To differentiate multiple clusters connected to the same relation endpoint
+the application charm can use the name of the remote application:
+
+```python
+
+def _on_database_created(self, event: DatabaseCreatedEvent) -> None:
+    # Get the remote app name of the cluster that triggered this event
+    cluster = event.relation.app.name
+```
+
+It is also possible to provide an alias for each different database cluster/relation.
+
+So, it is possible to differentiate the clusters in two ways.
+The first is to use the remote application name, i.e., `event.relation.app.name`, as above.
+
+The second way is to use different event handlers to handle each cluster events.
+The implementation would be something like the following code:
+
+```python
+
+from charms.data_platform_libs.v0.data_interfaces import (
+    DatabaseCreatedEvent,
+    DatabaseRequires,
+)
+
+class ApplicationCharm(CharmBase):
+    # Application charm that connects to database charms.
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):
+        super().__init__(*args)
+
+        # Define the cluster aliases and one handler for each cluster database created event.
+        self.database = DatabaseRequires(
+            self,
+            relation_name="database",
+            database_name="database",
+            relations_aliases = ["cluster1", "cluster2"],
+        )
+        self.framework.observe(
+            self.database.on.cluster1_database_created, self._on_cluster1_database_created
+        )
+        self.framework.observe(
+            self.database.on.cluster2_database_created, self._on_cluster2_database_created
+        )
+
+    def _on_cluster1_database_created(self, event: DatabaseCreatedEvent) -> None:
+        # Handle the created database on the cluster named cluster1
+
+        # Create configuration file for app
+        config_file = self._render_app_config_file(
+            event.username,
+            event.password,
+            event.endpoints,
+        )
+        ...
+
+    def _on_cluster2_database_created(self, event: DatabaseCreatedEvent) -> None:
+        # Handle the created database on the cluster named cluster2
+
+        # Create configuration file for app
+        config_file = self._render_app_config_file(
+            event.username,
+            event.password,
+            event.endpoints,
+        )
+        ...
+
+```
+
+### Provider Charm
+
+Following an example of using the DatabaseRequestedEvent, in the context of the
+database charm code:
+
+```python
+from charms.data_platform_libs.v0.data_interfaces import DatabaseProvides
+
+class SampleCharm(CharmBase):
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):
+        super().__init__(*args)
+        # Charm events defined in the database provides charm library.
+        self.provided_database = DatabaseProvides(self, relation_name="database")
+        self.framework.observe(self.provided_database.on.database_requested,
+            self._on_database_requested)
+        # Database generic helper
+        self.database = DatabaseHelper()
+
+    def _on_database_requested(self, event: DatabaseRequestedEvent) -> None:
+        # Handle the event triggered by a new database requested in the relation
+        # Retrieve the database name using the charm library.
+        db_name = event.database
+        # generate a new user credential
+        username = self.database.generate_user()
+        password = self.database.generate_password()
+        # set the credentials for the relation
+        self.provided_database.set_credentials(event.relation.id, username, password)
+        # set other variables for the relation event.set_tls("False")
+```
+As shown above, the library provides a custom event (database_requested) to handle
+the situation when an application charm requests a new database to be created.
+It's preferred to subscribe to this event instead of relation changed event to avoid
+creating a new database when other information other than a database name is
+exchanged in the relation databag.
+
+### Kafka
+
+This library is the interface to use and interact with the Kafka charm. This library contains
+custom events that add convenience to manage Kafka, and provides methods to consume the
+application related data.
+
+#### Requirer Charm
+
+```python
+
+from charms.data_platform_libs.v0.data_interfaces import (
+    BootstrapServerChangedEvent,
+    KafkaRequires,
+    TopicCreatedEvent,
+)
+
+class ApplicationCharm(CharmBase):
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):
+        super().__init__(*args)
+        self.kafka = KafkaRequires(self, "kafka_client", "test-topic")
+        self.framework.observe(
+            self.kafka.on.bootstrap_server_changed, self._on_kafka_bootstrap_server_changed
+        )
+        self.framework.observe(
+            self.kafka.on.topic_created, self._on_kafka_topic_created
+        )
+
+    def _on_kafka_bootstrap_server_changed(self, event: BootstrapServerChangedEvent):
+        # Event triggered when a bootstrap server was changed for this application
+
+        new_bootstrap_server = event.bootstrap_server
+        ...
+
+    def _on_kafka_topic_created(self, event: TopicCreatedEvent):
+        # Event triggered when a topic was created for this application
+        username = event.username
+        password = event.password
+        tls = event.tls
+        tls_ca= event.tls_ca
+        bootstrap_server event.bootstrap_server
+        consumer_group_prefic = event.consumer_group_prefix
+        zookeeper_uris = event.zookeeper_uris
+        ...
+
+```
+
+As shown above, the library provides some custom events to handle specific situations,
+which are listed below:
+
+- topic_created: event emitted when the requested topic is created.
+- bootstrap_server_changed: event emitted when the bootstrap server have changed.
+- credential_changed: event emitted when the credentials of Kafka changed.
+
+### Provider Charm
+
+Following the previous example, this is an example of the provider charm.
+
+```python
+class SampleCharm(CharmBase):
+
+from charms.data_platform_libs.v0.data_interfaces import (
+    KafkaProvides,
+    TopicRequestedEvent,
+)
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):
+        super().__init__(*args)
+
+        # Default charm events.
+        self.framework.observe(self.on.start, self._on_start)
+
+        # Charm events defined in the Kafka Provides charm library.
+        self.kafka_provider = KafkaProvides(self, relation_name="kafka_client")
+        self.framework.observe(self.kafka_provider.on.topic_requested, self._on_topic_requested)
+        # Kafka generic helper
+        self.kafka = KafkaHelper()
+
+    def _on_topic_requested(self, event: TopicRequestedEvent):
+        # Handle the on_topic_requested event.
+
+        topic = event.topic
+        relation_id = event.relation.id
+        # set connection info in the databag relation
+        self.kafka_provider.set_bootstrap_server(relation_id, self.kafka.get_bootstrap_server())
+        self.kafka_provider.set_credentials(relation_id, username=username, password=password)
+        self.kafka_provider.set_consumer_group_prefix(relation_id, ...)
+        self.kafka_provider.set_tls(relation_id, "False")
+        self.kafka_provider.set_zookeeper_uris(relation_id, ...)
+
+```
+As shown above, the library provides a custom event (topic_requested) to handle
+the situation when an application charm requests a new topic to be created.
+It is preferred to subscribe to this event instead of relation changed event to avoid
+creating a new topic when other information other than a topic name is
+exchanged in the relation databag.

+"""Kafka library.
+
+This [library](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/libraries) implements both sides of the
+`kafka` [interface](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/relations).
+
+The *provider* side of this interface is implemented by the
+[kafka-k8s Charmed Operator](https://charmhub.io/kafka-k8s).
+
+Any Charmed Operator that *requires* Kafka for providing its
+service should implement the *requirer* side of this interface.
+
+In a nutshell using this library to implement a Charmed Operator *requiring*
+Kafka would look like
+
+```
+$ charmcraft fetch-lib charms.kafka_k8s.v0.kafka
+```
+
+`metadata.yaml`:
+
+```
+requires:
+  kafka:
+    interface: kafka
+    limit: 1
+```
+
+`src/charm.py`:
+
+```
+from charms.kafka_k8s.v0.kafka import KafkaEvents, KafkaRequires
+from ops.charm import CharmBase
+
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):

+"""OSM Utils Library.
+
+This library offers some utilities made for but not limited to Charmed OSM.
+
+# Getting started
+
+Execute the following command inside your Charmed Operator folder to fetch the library.
+
+```shell
+charmcraft fetch-lib charms.osm_libs.v0.utils
+```
+
+# CharmError Exception
+
+An exception that takes to arguments, the message and the StatusBase class, which are useful
+to set the status of the charm when the exception raises.
+
+Example:
+```shell
+from charms.osm_libs.v0.utils import CharmError
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+    def _on_config_changed(self, _):
+        try:
+            if not self.config.get("some-option"):
+                raise CharmError("need some-option", BlockedStatus)
+
+            if not self.mysql_ready:
+                raise CharmError("waiting for mysql", WaitingStatus)
+
+            # Do stuff...
+
+        exception CharmError as e:
+            self.unit.status = e.status
+```
+
+# Pebble validations
+
+The `check_container_ready` function checks that a container is ready,
+and therefore Pebble is ready.
+
+The `check_service_active` function checks that a service in a container is running.
+
+Both functions raise a CharmError if the validations fail.
+
+Example:
+```shell
+from charms.osm_libs.v0.utils import check_container_ready, check_service_active
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+    def _on_config_changed(self, _):
+        try:
+            container: Container = self.unit.get_container("my-container")
+            check_container_ready(container)
+            check_service_active(container, "my-service")
+            # Do stuff...
+
+        exception CharmError as e:
+            self.unit.status = e.status
+```
+
+# Debug-mode
+
+The debug-mode allows OSM developers to easily debug OSM modules.
+
+Example:
+```shell
+from charms.osm_libs.v0.utils import DebugMode
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+    _stored = StoredState()
+
+    def __init__(self, _):

+"""Ro library.
+
+This [library](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/libraries) implements both sides of the
+`ro` [interface](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/relations).
+
+The *provider* side of this interface is implemented by the
+[osm-ro Charmed Operator](https://charmhub.io/osm-ro).
+
+Any Charmed Operator that *requires* RO for providing its
+service should implement the *requirer* side of this interface.
+
+In a nutshell using this library to implement a Charmed Operator *requiring*
+RO would look like
+
+```
+$ charmcraft fetch-lib charms.osm_ro.v0.ro
+```
+
+`metadata.yaml`:
+
+```
+requires:
+  ro:
+    interface: ro
+    limit: 1
+```
+
+`src/charm.py`:
+
+```
+from charms.osm_ro.v0.ro import RoRequires
+from ops.charm import CharmBase
+
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+
+    def __init__(self, *args):

+"""VCA Library.
+
+VCA stands for VNF Configuration and Abstraction, and is one of the core components
+of OSM. The Juju Controller is in charged of this role.
+
+This [library](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/libraries) implements both sides of the
+`vca` [interface](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/relations).
+
+The *provider* side of this interface is implemented by the
+[osm-vca-integrator Charmed Operator](https://charmhub.io/osm-vca-integrator).
+
+helps to integrate with the
+vca-integrator charm, which provides data needed to the OSM components that need
+to talk to the VCA, and
+
+Any Charmed OSM component that *requires* to talk to the VCA should implement
+the *requirer* side of this interface.
+
+In a nutshell using this library to implement a Charmed Operator *requiring* VCA data
+would look like
+
+```
+$ charmcraft fetch-lib charms.osm_vca_integrator.v0.vca
+```
+
+`metadata.yaml`:
+
+```
+requires:
+  vca:
+    interface: osm-vca
+```
+
+`src/charm.py`:
+
+```
+from charms.osm_vca_integrator.v0.vca import VcaData, VcaIntegratorEvents, VcaRequires
+from ops.charm import CharmBase
+
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+
+    on = VcaIntegratorEvents()
