.. Overview of OPNFV lab infrastructure (Pharos).

************************
OPNFV Lab Infrastructure
************************

The `Pharos Project <https://www.opnfv.org/developers/pharos>`_ provides a lab infrastructure that is geographically
and technically diverse. Labs instantiate **bare-metal** and **virtual** environments that are accessed remotely by the
community and used for OPNFV platform and feature development, builds, deploys and testing. This will greatly assist
in developing a highly robust and stable OPNFV platform with well understood performance characteristics. Community
labs are hosted by OPNFV member companies on a voluntary basis. The Linux Foundation also hosts an OPNFV lab that
provides centralised CI and other production resources which are linked to community labs.

Future lab capabilities will include the ability easily automate deploy and test of any OPNFV install scenario in any
lab environemnt as well as a *Virtual Lab* for developer on-boarding with minimal effort. :ref:`pharos_master` documents
are included with this release.
