Genesis

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

Genesis (GENEral System Install Services) 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 here.

• Projects that expressed their interest in joining Genesis
• Genesis work procedures and integration guidelines - Do you have a new component that you want supported by all installers participating in Genesis? Here is how to interface with Genesis.
• Is my feature an install-time or post-install-time feature? - How to choose whether a feature should be integrated with installers or not.

• Genesis JIRA Dashboard
• Genesis KANBAN board (ToDo and Done lists)
• Genesis requirements discussion: Agenda topics/Jira-tickets for live discussions
