Project description:
This project is based on the requirement proposal in “HA requirement-Chinamobile.pptx”, which is proposed in the initial TSC meeting. The proposal is focus on the high availability requirements and some possible development of code for the VNFs runing on the OPNFV platform. In the current networks, normally HA is required for the physical harwares. And HA can be fullfilled by 1:1 backup. When it comes to the NFV case, since VNFs are all virtualized on different VMs, HA problem can become complecated. In this project, we address HA requirements and solutions in 3 diffenrent perspectives, the hardware HA, the virtual mechine HA and the service HA, to be specific.
Scope:
• Propose high availability requirement for the NFV platform.
• HA requirements shall include hardware HA, virtual machine HA, and service HA.
• Collaborative development of code for HA might be required.
• Testcases of HA for the platform shall be proposed based on the requirement.
Dependencies:
• Identify similar projects is underway or being proposed in OPNFV or upstream project
• Identify any open source upstream projects and release timeline.
• Identify any specific development be staged with respect to the upstream project and releases.
• Are there any external fora or standard development organization dependencies. If possible, list and
Committers and Contributors:
• Name of and affiliation of the maintainer:Qiao Fu (Chinamobile)
• Names and affiliations of the committers
• Any other contributors
Planned deliverables
• HA requirement documents
• Testcases for HA in OPNFV platform
• Test reports for HA
Proposed Release Schedule:
• When is the first release planned?
• Will this align with the current release cadence
