Agenda:

  1. Review Timeline
    1. Notes:
      1. See diagram below.
      2. Recapped the timeline for Friendly, and CI dates.
      3. Emphasized the need to align with ONES MVPs mentioned in #3 below.
    2. Comments/Feedback:
      1. (Mark B) – RC has 2 sides:  Installer, then vendor VNF side; need to separate the NFVI, and VNF
      2. (Rajesh/Lincoln) – question about reference/golden VNF's; VVP does cover template validations (instantiation), doesn’t cover packets/throughput, seeing some potential future challenges
      3. (Lincoln) – recommend dividing VNF cert into MANO and VNF behavior (e.g. CPU cycles, storage, networking)
  2. Status
    1. Labs & Next Steps (POD10/15)
      1. Notes (Sridhar):
        1. Ocata (issue 586 - fix those issues first, then discuss need/goal to deploy Stein; Sridhar has meeting with Airship team Thurs to discuss open POD10/15 issues)
        2. Per Cedric, CICD Gates are disabled at present while issue 586 is being work
        3. Sridhar will provide status and path-forward Thurs after the Airship call
    2. HDV - finalize schema, build prototype (question)
      1. Notes: 
        1. We need to decide where to park information → consensus if CIRV repo
        2. Lincoln will start wiki to define requirements and will link to repo
        3. Mike forwarded the current open RI1 Core issue for the naming convention - Lincoln to review :  [RI 1 Core] CIRV Repo(s) Determination #761
        4. Wiki: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/CIRV/Hardware+Delivery+Verification 
    3. Manifest Validation - finalize schema (question)
      1. Notes:
        1. Plan (Sridhar): Next week to work on it, need to put on one place
        2. Mike - shared the following notes in email to Sridhar - Sridhar to review
          1. How & When (2020)?
            1. Manual: Requirements Mapping (Jan), Software/Config Validations (Feb)
            2. Automated: Script Creation and PoC (Mar), Implementation (Apr)
          2. Who - Script Development Supporting Skill
            1. Meta-Data file interpretation (PDF/SDF/IDF), knows way around a command-line, system admin for data comparison between systems
          3. Next Steps
            1. Create wiki to store content + tools
            2. Upload requirements
            3. Solicit dev from DDF to confirm who can commit time
        3. Wiki:  https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/CIRV/Software+Delivery+Validation
  3. Confirm April MVPs - assign owners?
    1. NOTES: 
      1. Following goals and MVP(s) were discussed.
      2. No objections/changes to the list.  As such, this becomes strawman of Jan-Apr focus.
    2. Goal: 
      1. 3 Vendor Implementation (VI's) with RC running → this was clarified from "3 RIs" to "3 VIs", as we are establishing 3 implementations of the same RI, not 3 different RIs (Georg K)
      2. Use Intel CNTT as RI baseline
