Pharos Project Information
**************************
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 focussed on 1) Deployment automation 2) Dashboards (for capability and usage)
3) *Virtual Labs* for developer on-boarding.
