Important Notes
===============

These notes provides release information for the use of Fuel as deployment

For Fraser, the typical use of Fuel as an OpenStack installer is
supplemented with OPNFV unique components such as:

OPNFV CI pipeline including:

- Documentation built by Jenkins

  - overall OPNFV documentation

  - this document (release notes)

  - installation instructions

- Automated deployment of Fraser with running on baremetal or a nested
  hypervisor environment (KVM)
