-Introduction

-.. NOTE::
- This is the working documentation for the Copper project.
-
-The `OPNFV Copper <https://wiki.opnfv.org/copper>`_ project aims to help ensure
-that virtualized infrastructure and application deployments comply with goals of
-the NFV service provider or the VNF designer/user.
-
-This is the third ("Danube") release of the Copper project. The documentation
-provided here focuses on the overall goals of the Copper project and the
-specific features supported in the Colorado release.
-
-Overall Goals for Configuration Policy
---------------------------------------
-
-As focused on by Copper, configuration policy helps ensure that the NFV service
-environment meets the requirements of the variety of stakeholders which will
-provide or use NFV platforms.
-
-These requirements can be expressed as an *intent* of the stakeholder,
-in specific terms or more abstractly, but at the highest level they express:
-
- * what I want
- * what I don't want
-
-Using road-based transportation as an analogy, some examples of this are shown
-below:
-
-.. list-table:: Configuration Intent Example
- :widths: 10 45 45
- :header-rows: 1
-
- * - Who I Am
- - What I Want
- - What I Don't Want
- * - user
- - a van, wheelchair-accessible, electric powered
- - someone driving off with my van
- * - road provider
- - keep drivers moving at an optimum safe speed
- - four-way stops
- * - public safety
- - shoulder warning strips, center media barriers
- - speeding, tractors on the freeway
-
-According to their role, service providers may apply more specific configuration
-requirements than users, since service providers are more likely to be managing
-specific types of infrastructure capabilities.
-
-Developers and users may also express their requirements more specifically,
-based upon the type of application or how the user intends to use it.
-
-For users, a high-level intent can be also translated into a more or less specific
-configuration capability by the service provider, taking into consideration
-aspects such as the type of application or its constraints.
-
-Examples of such translation are:
-
-.. list-table:: Intent Translation into Configuration Capability
- :widths: 40 60
- :header-rows: 1
-
- * - Intent
- - Configuration Capability
- * - network security
- - firewall, DPI, private subnets
- * - compute/storage security
- - vulnerability monitoring, resource access controls
- * - high availability
- - clustering, auto-scaling, anti-affinity, live migration
- * - disaster recovery
- - geo-diverse anti-affinity
- * - high compute/storage performance
- - clustering, affinity
- * - high network performance
- - data plane acceleration
- * - resource reclamation
- - low-usage monitoring
-
-Although such intent-to-capability translation is conceptually useful, it is
-unclear how it can address the variety of aspects that may affect the choice of
-an applicable configuration capability.
-
-For that reason, the Copper project will initially focus on more specific
-configuration requirements as fulfilled by specific configuration capabilities,
-as well as how those requirements and capabilities are expressed in VNF and service
-design and packaging or as generic policies for the NFV Infrastructure.
