====== Genesis ======

**NOTE**: This wiki is early draft and work in progress.

Genesis (__GENE__ral __S__ystem __I__nstall __S__ervices) aims at a common user experience for OPNFV. Genesis defines a common set of requirements for a set of deployment tools used to install OPNFV. An overview presentation on the goals of Genesis can be found {{:get_started:bgs-to-genesis-16june2015.pptx|here}}.
