(c) 2016 OPNFV. + + +Introduction +------------ + +The `Pharos Project <https://www.opnfv.org/developers/pharos>`_ deals with developing an OPNFV lab +infrastructure that is geographically and technically diverse. This will greatly assist in +developing a highly robust and stable OPNFV platform. Community labs are hosted by individual +companies and there is also an OPNFV lab hosted by the Linux Foundation that has controlled access +for key development and production activities. The **Pharos Specification** defines a "compliant" +deployment and test environment. Pharos is responsible for defining lab capabilities, developing +management/usage policies and process; and a support plan for reliable access to project and release +resources. Community labs are provided as a service by companies and are not controlled by Pharos +however our goal is to provide easy visibility of all lab capabilities and their usage at all-times. + +A requirement of Pharos labs is to provide *bare-metal* for development, deployment and testing. +This is resource intensive from a hardware and support perspective while providing remote access can +also be very challenging due to corporate IT policies. Achieving a consistent *look and feel* of a +federated lab infrastructure continues to be an objective. Virtual environments are also useful and +provided by some labs. Jira is currently used for tracking lab operational issues as well as for +Pharos project activities. + +Future lab capabilities are currently focused on: + +1) Automatic resource provisioning +2) Dashboards (for capability and usage) +3) *Virtual Labs* for developer on-boarding + +Project Communication +--------------------- + +* `Pharos page <https://www.opnfv.org/developers/pharos>`_ +* `Pharos project Wiki <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos>`_ +* `Pharos Planning <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Colorado+Plan>`_ +* `Pharos Jira <https://jira.opnfv.org/projects/PHAROS/summary>`_ +* `Bi-weekly Pharos meeting <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Meetings>`_ +* `Weekly INFRA WG meeting <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/INF/Infra+Working+Group>`_ +* `Weekly coordination meeting for Test related projects <https://wiki.opnfv.org/meetings/test>`_ +* `IRC: freenode.net #opnfv-pharos <http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=opnfv-pharos>`_ +* Mailing List: use opnfv-tech-discuss and tag your emails with [Pharos] in the subject for filtering + +Project Release Artifacts +------------------------- + +* `Project Repository <https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=pharos.git>`_ +* `Continuous Integration <https://build.opnfv.org/ci/view/pharos/>`_ +* `Documentation <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/pharos/docs/>`_ + +Pharos Lab Process +------------------ + +* Process for requesting lab access and support https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Rls+B+Support +* Pharos Lab Governance and Policies https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/Pharos+Policies +* Status of Community labs https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/#PharosHome-Overview + +Current Labs +------------ + +An interactive map of OPNFV lab locations, lab owners and other lab information is maintained on the +`Pharos Wiki <https://wiki.opnfv.org/pharos#community_labs>`_ + ++----+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+ +| #
