0 | RM cleanup (ch content complete 80%, issue closure) |
|
|
1 | - 1.x Various: May need to be rationalized w/ new Tech Steering document
- 1.9 Roadmap: This section needs perpetual maintenance (strongly consider moving the roadmap out of the RM, altogether)
- MVP: RA Compliance/traceability matrices and methodology
- MVP: Still needs a crisp executive summary identifying the problem statement, and the two key methodologies employed to address them (VNF Abstraction and a common NFVI)
|
| RM-Ch01 - Intro |
2 | - Needs a community aligned list of workloads the platform is intended to support and their priority, which can then be used as a basis for resource allocation and for weighting “suggestions” (notably “The public cloud does it this way, so we should too.”; understood, but we need an objective basis. Right now, it becomes a subjective debate)
- MVP: Align and execute on Prague proposal to suspend the Compute Intensive flavor, and supplement it by removing over-subscription from the Basic flavour
- Flesh out quantitative details about supported workloads
|
| RM-Ch02 - VNF Requirements & Analysis |
3 | - Needs tighter coupling w/ Container paradigm (i.e. decoupling from VM-based VNF)
- Needs a general review. Given the experience we’ve gained, can be made more succinct and more usable by a VNF developer
- Need to clearly explain slicing (and contrast to Tenant) from CNTT perspective
- Template attributes should be vetted w/ underlying capabilities, rationalized for duplication (i.e. CNTT value add, vs. what’s already in HEAT) and expanded to integrate Container paradigms
- Data Model - Create actual schema(s) and data model(s) for CNTT-specific information (potentially in an appendix)
- Shared w/ RM-Ch4: Need to define virtual networking strategy and related attributes/parameters (workload level)
|
| RM-Ch03 - Modelling |
4 | - MVP: Integrate more Container paradigms/support
- Flesh out Generic Fabric Model (Fabric, Underlay and Overlay level (i.e. Infra, not workload)
- Research and enhance storage performance extensions using performance per unit of storage model (i.e. IOPs/GB)
- MVP: Hardware Profiles and Performance
- Objectives/Requirements
- Guidelines
- What level of granularity
- Validation/Auditing
- Proposals or white paper on how we plan to achieve deterministic performance from the reference model w/o having to specify hardware to down to a very granular level (e.g. w/o SKUs, clock speeds, etc.)
- MVP: Clarify diagrams and language around T-Shirts, Flavors and IT relationships
- Policies for Non-Conforming Technologies // assumes supporting frameworks are ratified
- SRIOV policy
- SmartNIC policy*
- Live Migration policy
- *includes Tomas’ concept of driving SmartNIC industry to standard, cloud-friendly ABI
- Shared w/ RM-Ch3: Need to define virtual networking strategy and related attributes/parameters (workload level)
|
| RM-Ch04 - Infrastructure Capabilities, Measurements and Catalogue |
5 | - Integrate cloud native concepts w/ sw profile (i.e. how abstraction and workload portability is maintained)
- Update s/w profile, pending suspension of Compute Intensive IT
- MVP: Rationalize s/w profile to IT mapping after removal of third IT
- MVP: Audit chapter alignment w/ RM-Ch4
- Incorporate VNF Profile Generations/Evolution (once ratified), designing and describing linkage/relationship to h/w profiles
|
| RM-Ch05 - Feature set and Requirements from Infrastructure |
6 | - MVP: Flesh out initial Enabler Services
|
| RM-Ch06 - External Interfaces (APIs and Interfaces) |
7 | - Worthy of review by SMEs for suggestions of areas to incorporate and/or refine
|
| RM-Ch07 - Security |
8 | - Generic qualification model (i.e. NFVI and VNF)
- Badging types (requirements in RC)
- Methodology to support N-3 VNF Rls Profiles
- Overview of badging methodology
- Base-lining testbed before VNF qualification
- VNF testing without prior knowledge
- Plumbing testbed for supplier testing of VNF functionality, after VNF badging.
- Overview of novel VNF-related concepts
- Reference VNF (aka Golden VNF)
- NFVI characterization, and correction coefficients for normalizing performance
- What is out of scope for CNTT (e.g., VNF functional testing, performance, scalability, HA, etc.)
|
| RM-Ch08 - Compliance, Verification, and Certification |
9 | - Create Generic Installer Model
|
| RM-Ch09 - Infrastructure Operations and Lifecycle Management |
A | - Needs a strategy/purpose review and new commitment from original or new contributors to continue on it
|
| RM-Appendix-A - VNF Guidelines |
