initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+====================
+ OS Recommendations
+====================
+
+Ceph Dependencies
+=================
+
+As a general rule, we recommend deploying Ceph on newer releases of Linux.
+We also recommend deploying on releases with long-term support.
+
+Linux Kernel
+------------
+
+- **Ceph Kernel Client**
+
+ If you are using the kernel client to map RBD block devices or mount
+ CephFS, the general advice is to use a "stable" or "longterm
+ maintenance" kernel series provided by either http://kernel.org or
+ your Linux distribution on any client hosts.
+
+ For RBD, if you choose to *track* long-term kernels, we currently recommend
+ 4.x-based "longterm maintenance" kernel series:
+
+ - 4.9.z
+ - 4.4.z
+
+ For CephFS, see `CephFS best practices`_ for kernel version guidance.
+
+ Older kernel client versions may not support your `CRUSH tunables`_ profile
+ or other newer features of the Ceph cluster, requiring the storage cluster
+ to be configured with those features disabled.
+
+
+Platforms
+=========
+
+The charts below show how Ceph's requirements map onto various Linux
+platforms. Generally speaking, there is very little dependence on
+specific distributions aside from the kernel and system initialization
+package (i.e., sysvinit, upstart, systemd).
+
+Luminous (12.2.z)

+Notes
+-----
+
+- **1**: The default kernel has an older version of ``btrfs`` that we do not
+ recommend for ``ceph-osd`` storage nodes. We recommend using ``XFS``.
+
+- **2**: The default kernel has an old Ceph client that we do not recommend
+ for kernel client (kernel RBD or the Ceph file system). Upgrade to a
+ recommended kernel.
+
+- **3**: The default kernel regularly fails in QA when the ``btrfs``
+ file system is used. We do not recommend using ``btrfs`` for
+ backing Ceph OSDs.
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+- **B**: We build release packages for this platform. For some of these
+ platforms, we may also continuously build all ceph branches and exercise
+ basic unit tests.
+
+- **I**: We do basic installation and functionality tests of releases on this
+ platform.
+
+- **C**: We run a comprehensive functional, regression, and stress test suite
+ on this platform on a continuous basis. This includes development branches,
+ pre-release, and released code.
