Fuel based OPNFV installer project proposal

Project proposal meta-data

• Proposed name for the project: Fuel@OPNFV
• Proposed name for the repository: fuel
• Project Category: Integration and testing

Project description:

This OPNFV initiative proposes to take the fuel@opnfv work that was done embedded into the Arno BGS project to an autonomous long lived OPNFV project with the aim to follow- and absorb OPNFV release train features into the Fuel@OPNFV installer and at the same time absorb new fuel capabilities, as well as put relevant OPNFV requirements on Fuel.

Scope

The scope of the proposal includes the following:

• Absorbing all of OPNFV's release cadence features through the genesis project.
• Ensuring a healthy Fuel@OPNFV architecture/structure by feeding requirements to the fuel community.
• Ensuring a healthy Fuel@OPNFV architecture/structure by staying close to the fuel community trunk, using the fuel plug-in architecture for needed differentiation.
• Providing needed capabilities for the OPNFV CI pipeline, including:
  • Build
  • Deployment
  • Needed hooks for low-level verification (tempest)
  • Needed hooks for high-level verification (Scenario testing) - Yardstick

Building blocks

• CentOS Host
• Ubuntu Host
• OpenStack
• OpenDaylight
• OVS

Planned deliverables

• Fuel@OPNFV unique Fuel plug-ins
• Fuel@OPNFV Documentation
• Fuel@OPNFV CI plugins for OPNFV
• Fuel@OPNFV plugins for OPNFV VIM characteristics/SLA certification, interoperability certification, etc.

Proposed Release Schedule

Initial release of OPNFV@Fuel was as part of the joint OPNFV Bootstrap/Get started (BGS) Arno release.

First OPNFV autonomous release will be OPNFV R2 release with the following tentative release content:

• OpenStack release: Kilo/Liberty (Features to be supported TBD)
• Fuel release: 7.0.x/8.0.x (Features to be supported TBD)
• OpenDaylight release: Lithium (Features to be supported TBD)
• OPNFV carried R2 patches
• OPNFV R2 experimental projects

Upstream projects

Fuel@OPNFV is relying on following upstream projects:

• Fuel - Any needed requirements will be articulated by Fuel@OPNFV and implemented by the Fuel community, Fuel@OPNFV will source upstream OpenStack through Fuel. OpenStack requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV
• Open Daylight - Requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV
• KVM - Requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV
• OVS - OVS requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV
• Ubuntu - Debian/Ubuntu requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV
• CentOS - Debian/Ubuntu requirements will origin from other OPNFV projects than Fuel@OPNFV

Project culture

• A small yet very competent end2end team
• Tightly working with other installer projects, genesis, CI and functest teams - contributing and reviewing across boarders
• Using IRC as main communication medium, blended by a few bi-weekly audio calls.
