OPNFV labs follow a defined structure and configuration. - Some of the labs have their dedicated tasks in the development environment, some of - the labs will be provided for open use. - -**OPNFV Releases** - -OPNFV bundles the target software, installers, documentation, test cases and lab -description to releases and provides documentation describing the scope and features -provided. - -This overview document introduces these components on a high level and points you to more -detailed documentation. -It describes the OPNFV Brahmaputra release. - -OPNFV Requirement documents typically describe requirements that will be implemented in -later releases of OPNFV. Thus they are not part of a release package. - -Also community labs are independent of releases. Only the lab description is included in -the release and describes the requirements of a lab to successfully run Brahmaputra -deployments. - - ------------------------- -Target software platform ------------------------- - -Software architecture -===================== - -This section will provide information which upstream projects, versions and components are -integrated in the Brahmaputra release - -OpenStack ---------- - -OPNFV uses OpenStack as cloud management system. -Brahmaputra is based on OpenStack Liberty Release. It comprises the following sub-projects -and modules: - -* Nova -* Neutron -* Cinder -* Ceilometer -* etc. - -Operating System ----------------- - -OPNFV uses Linux on all target machines. Depending on the installers, different -distributions are supported. - -Editors note: -Add a table showing which installer supports which operating system for controller nodes and for compute nodes. - - -SDN Controllers ---------------- - -OPNFV Brahmaputra release supports three different SDN controllers: - -* OpenDaylight -* ONOS -* OpenContrail - -Depending on the SDN controller you are using, the featureset will vary. - -OpenDaylight -++++++++++++ - -Editor's note: -We need a high level paragraph here and a description of how we use ODL. - -ONOS -++++ - -Editors note: -We need a high level paragraph here and a description of how we use ONOS, especially the -relation of ONOS and ONOSFW project's integration and features. - -OpenContrail -++++++++++++ - -Editors note: -We need a high level paragraph here and a description of how we use OpenContrail, including -its vRouter capabilities. - -Data Plane ----------- - -Other Components ----------------- - -Deployment Architecture -======================= - -Editors note: -Short description that we use a typical configuration with 3 controller nodes running -OpenStack, SDN, etc. and a minimum of 2 compute nodes for deployment of the VNFs. -Also mention that we use a "jumphost" for the initial bring-up, and the deployment of the -test framework. - -In a second level of detail, describe how software is distributed over the 3 controller -nodes, compute nodes and other hardware. - -Dynamic View -============ - -Editors note: we might skip this section completely for Brahmaputra. - -Or we provide rather short statements. In later versions, we have to describe which -software is involved in which way during: - -* VNF Life Cycle (onboarding, instantiate, scaling): we can reference to other documents -* Hardware Life Cycle (mainly how to add compute nodes, but also other cases) -* ... - ----------------- -Deployment Tools ----------------- - -Brahmaputra provides 4 different installers - -Editors note: -A table to summarize main characteristics would be nice - -We also need to list restrictions or dependencies like which installer can install which SDN...... - ------------------------ -Testcases and Framework ------------------------ - -Editors note: -Just a high level description about the different types of tests and the role of yardstick as central framework. - - - - |
