Agenda

Minutes

Update on VNF Validation MVP status

  • Had initial discussion with ONAP TSC.  It was clear we needed to provide additional education on the LFN OVP programs, at large, and how the projects (ONAP, OPNFV, etc) certification programs roll-up to the CVC and common banded program (OVP).
  • Added 1 additional session for OVP General programs during DDF, being lead by Heather.
  • Jim raised a concern about member companies providing clear definition / instruction about the importance of the OVP programs.  The current levels of focus don't seem to align with the board / survey input.

Approved Lab Submissions

  • Reviewed the existing approved lab qualification documentation: In-force Documents
  • Improvements for the application process at large:
    • Within the lab qualifications, should include additional documentation for the specific hardware available within the lab (i.e. number of servers, number of processor cores, RAM per server, disks per server, disk sizes, networking types and connectivity).
    • Should we require a external reference for the lab (i.e. a external participant of the lab)?
    • Should we require attendance during the CVC meeting review, to answer questions in real time?
      • VoerEir was able to present their applications, this seemed work very very well. 
    • What level of activity (quantify) is required from the labs for the CVC or other projects?  How is this documented?  Attendance on CVC calls? Participation in N OVP reviews? Not "allowed" to reject a request (i.e. no review) a set of results (i.e. you've signed up to help review results).
    • Should we require lab's submit results through the Dovetail portal, so the review process is able to better align with the "normal" process that would follow for a vendor application?
