Enhancements to Test projects / OVP & CVC ecosystem

Facilitators: Rabi Abdel, Vodafone and , Heather Kirksey, Linux Foundation

Vision: 

Describe current OVP/CVC vision and relation to CNTT, impact on OPNFV, ONAP, etc.

Understanding the ecosystem (who, what, where, how?):

Existing Test project / OVP ecosystem. CI/CD processes and procedures, security, etc. What in-flight projects are impacted? Which does CNTT feed? Which feed CNTT? Which are obsoleted? Where are there opportunities for improvement? What else does CNTT need to consider?

Realization:

What are the real steps in the journey? How do we reveal the reference platform profiles and architectures into OPNFV code? How do we go from model to arch to implementation to various project code updation? How could/should it work from a practical perspective?

What will help us facilitate release management?

OPNFV Project Plan:

What shall be our approach? What are the key components? 

(14:30)

Reference Implementation / OVP & CVC ecosystem

Facilitator: Fu Qiao, China Mobile

OVP Infrastructure:

What enables smooth transitions? Where and how do reference models, architectures, implementations get hosted? How to make seamless translations between GSMA OPNFV addressable works? Demarcations with other bodies? 

‘Project Management’:

What needs to be aligned to ensure all workloads come up and all work (so that VNF certification testing can begin?); Tasks? Deliverables? Processes? Release Timetables
