Bootstrap/Get started - OpenStack Components
This page documents the core top-level OpenStack components from the Juno release that will and will not be included in the first release of OPNFV. Following the BGS theme, this contains as few components as possible.
Baseline OpenStack Components
| Name | Description | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Nova | Compute | Compute resources for VNFs |
| Neutron* | Networking | Configure network connectivity |
| Glance | VM (VNF) image repository | Store the VNF images |
| Swift | Object storage | Required by glance to store images |
| Keystone | Identify service | Authenticate user access to OpenStack |
Excluded OpenStack Components
| Name | Description | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Cinder | Block storage | Object storage can be used for persistence and run stateless VNFs |
| Horizon | Dashboard | UI’s make for nicer demos, but the use cases can be performed using CLIs and APIs without the UI |
| Ceilometer | Telemetry | Display usage and provide an access point for billing. The Doctor project currently has a dependency on this component |
| Heat | Orchestration | Simplify the installation and lifecycle management of VNFs |
| Trove | Database service |
Next Steps
- Validate the use cases can be covered without any of the excluded items.
- Document all of the modules, versions, repos, and configuration options for each of these components.
- OpenDaylight installation documentation assumes that OpenStack is running and configured using the neutron-openvswich-agent. Will OPNFV follow this process or start with ODL on a clean installation?
