==== Project Name: ====

  * Proposed name for the project: ''Daisy4nfv''
  * Proposed name for the repository: ''daisy''
==== Project description: ====
  * Daisy4nfv is an installer project based on open source project daisy([[https://github.com/OpenDaisy]]), which provides automated deployment and management of OpenStack and other distributed systems.
  * In Daisy4nfv project, we will support the installation of OPNFV release. It will support deployment of OPNFV full stack, with different flavors of configuration, on both bare-metal servers and virtual machines. We will also working closely with genesis and escalator project together to provide a complete improvement solutions for both installing and upgrading for opnfv.
  * The unique values that Daisy4nfv will bring to the OPNFV community includes the following: 
      * Abstract and provides necessary information for upgrader(escalator) to do upgrading efficiently and accordingly. Thus, set as a example of how the escalator, genesis and installer can work together to bring more value to the end user.
  * Building blocks

      * “Information Provider” is a plug-in of  Daisy Installer , and it will be used as a bridge between installer and upgrader. Data changed in Daisy which related to upgrading will be passed based on a publication to it. Later, upgrader can query such information from Information Provider. 

      * By generalizing “What to provide” and “How to provide” to a more common layer, such as genesis, a loose coupling design of installer and upgrader can be achieved.




==== Scope: ====

  * Absorbing OPNFV's release cadence features through the genesis project.
  * Working closely with genesis and escalator project together to provide a complete improvement solutions for both installation and upgrading.
  * Providing needed capabilities for the OPNFV CI pipeline, including:
    * Build
    * Deployment
  * Integration with test projects
    * Needed hooks for low-level verification (Functest) 
    * Needed hooks for high-level verification (Scenario testing) – Yardstick 
  * Integration with SDN controllers
  * Supporting Widely collaboration with integration of all open source SDN controllers, e.g ONOS, ODL etc



==== Testability: ====

  * Local lab rsources are used for integration and testing for upstream Daisy project.
  * Will colaborate with related opnfv project (releng/functest) to provide testability for all Daisy4nfv based artifacts.

==== Documentation: ====

  * Presentations:
    [[https://wiki.opnfv.org/_media/project_proposals/opnfv_technical_discussion_-_daisy_nfv_proposal.pptx]]

  * API DOC TBD
==== Dependencies: ====

  * Depends on open source upstream projects Daisy([[https://github.com/OpenDaisy]]).
