(c) 2017 OPNFV Ulrich Kleber (Huawei) + + +Specific Scenarios +------------------ + +Specific scenarios are used for OPNFV development and help to isolate a path of development. + +* Specific scenarios typically focus on a feature or topic. +* Specific scenarios allow to advance in development for their main feature without + de-stabilizing other features. +* Specific scenarios provide additional flexibility in their handling to allow the + development be agile. +* Specific scenarios can use new version of their main upstream component or even + apply midstream patches during OPNFV deployment, i.e. the deployable artifact + is created via cross community CI or even only in OPNFV and not upstream. +* Specific scenarios should have a limited life time. After a few releases, the feature + development should have matured and the feature made available different configurations + if possible. Typically the scenario then should be merged with other scenarios, best + with generic scenarios. +* Normally specific scenarios will be released within the major OPNFV releases. But + they don't need to fulfill maturity requirements (stable upstream versions and repos, + stability testing), and can deviate in the used upstream versions. +* In exceptional cases we might release a specific scenario independently, in case there + is a need. Thus specific scenarios provide a way to a more DevOps-like process. +* Specific scenarios will likely have a shorter support period after release as they are of + interest to a smaller user community vs generic scenarios. +* They will be granted less CI resources than generic scenarios, e.g. for periodic + CI jobs. +* We may need to prioritize resources post-release for maintenance / regression testing. + + -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
