+Important notes
+===============
+
+**Attention:** Please be aware that the Promise shim-layer implementation is marked as DEPREACTED
+in Euphrates and both implementation and related test cases may be removed from next release.
+
+Abstract
+===============
+
+This document provides an overview of the Promise project in the OPNFV Euphrates
+release. Promise is a resource reservation and management project to identify NFV related
+requirements and realize resource reservation for future usage by capacity
+management of resource pools regarding compute, network and storage.
+
+
+Features
+============
+
+The following features are provided by the Promise in the OPNFV Euphrates release:
+
+* Capacity Management
+* Reservation Management
+* Allocation Management
+
+The Euphrates implementation of Promise is built with the YangForge data modeling
+framework [#f2]_ , using a shim-layer on top of OpenStack to provide
+the Promise features.
+
+In the OPNFV Euphrates release cycle most efforts have been spent to progress the upstream
+implementation of a native resource reservation system for OpenStack as part of the Blazar project
+[#f3]_.
+
+Detailed information about Promise use cases, features, interface
+specifications, work flows, and the underlying Promise YANG schema can be found
+in the Promise requirement document [#f1]_ .

+
+
+Thereby, the following test cases (`TEST_CASES`_) are executed:
+
+ - Add a new OpenStack provider to the reservation service
+ - Allocation of resources without prior reservation
+ - Reservation of a VM for immediate use followed by allocation
+ - Reservation of a VM for future use
+ - Update reservation
+ - Query reservation
+ - Cancel reservation
+ - Error case: try to create reservation with a conflict
+ - Capacity management - increase/decrease available capacity of a provider
+ - Capacity Management - query for available and used capacity
