Regarding proposed Tungsten implementation for R (per Sukhdev's email):
- TF supports installation by using Airship. This method is used for the Akraino’s Network Cloud blueprint. Since OPNFV also uses Airship for installations, the same steps will be used for installation in OPNFV’s test PODS. Install TF on one or two PODs (not all PODs). This offers PODs with and without TF. This facilitates the VNFs to be certified with or without TF – therefore, no change in the compliance model.
- FuncTest framework is used to test/certify for the CNTT/OPNFV OVP program. FuncTest runs all Neutron specific tests. FuncTests do not care if ML2 or Monolithic plugin is deployed underneath. since TF is fully compatible with Neutron, this will not be an issue and hence, will not create any hindrance. If, by odd chance, if a given test fails or is impacted, we will address it and fix the issue immediately.
- TF community (I will lead the effort) will work with OPNFV team to get this implemented and will fully support and provide appropriate resources needed to facilitate this.
The Network Focus Group agreed in the meeting that NFG does not see any reason why this implementation should not go ahead. This decision may belong to the Tech Lead/TSC (see AI #6)
We also decided to speed up work on detailing the proper role of SDN controller in Cloud Infrastructure (RA1 and RA2), identifying gaps and planning a comparison of existing options.
