How to become a Fuel@OPNFV Integrated project
Integration request process
-
If you instead do not yet want to become a core integrated project, and only want to integrate your project with with one or a few projects - like Fuel@OPNFV. You should issue a Jira request in the Fuel@OPNFV Jira namespace - preliminary indicating (As the integration iterations goes along, these items will be refined):
Project description
Purpose
Dependencies (Packages, Patches, Linux kernel, etc)
High-availability model
Upgrade model
Managed objects (configuration, Fault management, Performance management, etc.)
Available logs, etc.
ETA for functional code freeze.
ETA for integration adaptation to Fuel@OPNFV - E.g. a "Fuel plug-in"
In any case - no matter the model followed, an integrated project will be responsible for the integration with Fuel@OPNFV and the development of:
A functional Fuel Plug-in.
Instrumentation of configuration in accordance with the Fuel plug-in concept, as well as a config.yaml template fragment for the plug-in.
Build environment, including population of the plug-in to the fuel@OPNFV .iso artifact.
Integration/build-time tests.
Functional tests, coordinated with the OPNFV Func-test project.
Higher order tests - I.e. Yard-stick test cases.
The Fuel@OPNFV integration request is acknowledged by assigning the corresponding Jira request to the project lead of the integrated project.
Once agreed in which Fuel@OPNFV project work-package/mile-stone the integration is due, the Jira request goes into status "In progress" - and from now on the integrated project is part of fuel@OPNFV and is expected to:
Attend Fuel@OPNFV meetings
Follow Fuel@OPNFV committer decisions and plans
Execute according to out-set plans
If an Integrated project fails to deliver according to plan-, quality expectations-, or outset dependencies, Fuel@OPNFV committers may - through voting decide to exclude the integrated project from a work package/mile-stone, or from a project release as a whole.
How to build a Fuel-Plugin and integrate it with Fuel@OPNFV
Instructions on how to build a Fuel-plugin can be found in the Fuel Plugin Developers Guideline - Note that the Fuel Plugin framework capabilities is rapidly evolving
An example of an ODL Fuel-plugin that was developed for the Fuel@OPNFV Arno release can be found here.
Another example is the OVS 2.4 Fuel-plugin that is being developed for the Fuel@OPNFV Brahmaputra release, work in progress can be found here.
In Fuel@OPNFV we require that all artifacts and plugins are part of the the installable .iso image, here is a Make file fragment example that will ensure inclusion of a plug-in to the local .iso image.
You can also find already developed Fuel Plugins here
