Agenda:
- Admin - Move Baldy backlog to Hallasan by EOW
- Status
- Labs & Next Steps (POD10/15)
- Prior status:
- Pod10: Access to APIs work. Stable, but not running Functest.
- Pod15: Investigation of failed health check.
- Today status:
- Satisfied with deployments
- Need to confirm test runs which are enabled - Gerrit request placed to enable test runs - https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/c/releng/+/69736
- Related to Test Gaps, but a proposal was made to run Prox based tests, as data plan tests.
- RC documentation was updated to include Prox in addition to other projects mentioned (VSPerf, NFVBench, Yardstick)
- Luc to check on open issues related to Prox in documentation, and ensure validations mention the option of using Prox
- Prior status:
- HDV - finalize schema, build prototype
- Prior status:
- Solicited developer volunteers to help build prototype.
- Ram, Vinayak (NFV BU) <vinayak.ram@hpe.com> - Utilizes standard interfaces based on Redfish to query the infrastructure and get the information to be validated.
- Solicited developer volunteers to help build prototype.
- Today status:
- CMCC presentation made at OPNFV call 2/24 - general interest to move forward with a subsequent call for the build-out and use of an HDV utiilty.
- Need developer who can contribute - VMWare not available, HPE indicating they are checking with their management before proceeding
- Use community call to drive interest. → Lincoln send email to OPNFV Tech Community to have a deep(er) discussion on HDV at the next OPNFV call on 3/2
- Prior status:
- Labs & Next Steps (POD10/15)
- Gaps, Issues, & Weekly Summary
- CIRV project
- Purpose:
- Ensure RI-1 implementation matches RM and RA-1 requirements (config and deployment)
- Ensure RC-1 suites validate both Application (OpenStack) and CNTT (config, capabilities. Extensions, etc) requirements
- Mentioned this will be shared with Gov weekly
- Reviewed Gaps - went over table layout, solicited support from RI-1 WS for assistance verifying "RI-1 Implemented (Yes/No) column.
- Reviewed Weekly Summary - two parts: 1) Issues/Defects which result in Release Notes, and 2) Test Summary - to demonstrate consecutive runs/failures
- Demo
- VSPerf - tabled until next week
- S/W (Manifest) Validation - occurred later in the day 2/26
- Prior status:
- Sridhar Rao created initial set of aspects (configuration) to validate as part of manifest (S/W) validation.
- Config needs to be done
Today status:
- Demo provided
- Pre-deploy validations reviewed → provides manifest file integrity checks, and stages mandatory and optional requirements → target final delivery 3/4
- Post-deploy --> more time needed for development --> end of march → presumably, can leverage helm, or kubectl verifications → target final delivery EOM March
- Dev feedback and contributions needed → will demo to the OPNFV Community 3/2, showing prototype, hoping to spur interests to accelerate tool delivery
- Demo provided
- Prior status:
- Time Permitting (No time to cover)
- Discussion Open PRs
- HDV - deep dive
- RC Test Case | Req Gap Assessment
- Prior status:
- Chapter 3 data plan performance testing – Luc P. will insert perf test tools/content, for expanding this section (leveraging SampleVNF)
- Next steps: → update based on 2/24-2/26 discussions with PTLs
- (Cedric) will add traceability (TCs to requirements) in RC Ch 5; to close gaps
- (Mike) Reached out to OPNFV TSC and LFN to get traction on onboarding needed OPNFV projects
- Yardstick - discussing, nothing definitive, CNTT/Xtesting integration is part of the project's recurring call
- VSPerf - (Sridhar R.) ready to demo, wants to onboard
- Demo'd prototype 2/26
- Pre-deployment Manifest Checks target end 3/4
- Post-deployment Validations target EOM March
- Target EOM Feb - to add containers for Xtesting → to be confirmed
- Barometer (Emma Foley, 2/19) -
- Discussing, need clarification what is/isn’t already onboarded into Functest
- ...initial feedback, Barometer TCs are not being run with functest.
...Determine what TCs we have and whether they are still valid/functional
- PTL provided wiki 2/26 of how to use; ack. no discussion on integrating Xtesting; they will research and follow-up with Cedric
- NFVBench - Alex H.
- Discussion 2/25 → can cover two Performance Requirements at a minimum
- Provided requirements, test cases, and overview
- Value-add in Latency, Throughput, and Capacity benchmarking
- Requires external TRex traffic generator (use on jump host), specific NICs (710s already in lab), and access to TOR switch w/ software config
- Intel to provide 'best effort' support if we decide to pursue
- On hold right now pending review / integration of Prox, and demo of VSPerf week of 3/2
- Storperf (Mark B) - discussing, ready to onboard, dialogue open about storage KPIs, but promoting need to baseline first before having established KPIs
- SampleVNF – discussing, with renewed interested and potential validations of perf profiling capabilities (as discussed in Prague
- Prox is code residing in SampleVNF project, which can be used for performance profiling
- Follow-up needed with Luc to determine feasibility and traceability to requirements for what Prox can cover
- Prior status:
- Review April Deliverables: CNTT Baldy
- RI Goals: https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/projects/7
