• Antitrust: 
  • Linux Foundation Anti-Trust Policy Notice
  • GSMA Anti-Trust Policy Notice
• Volunteer Commitment to work on Chapters
  • Status (11/20)
    • Meet with contributing partners - goal for each Chapter team, and discuss goals and timeline for writing the documentation

    • Weekly meetings occurring (Sridhar, Trevor, Luc/Petar, others) - discussing build-out and use of a basic VNF prototype (ETA pending for completion and detailed plans)
    • For VNF Prototype Testing:
      • We can Leverage SampleVNF projects (and VNFs) for establishing baseline results of NFVI operability/stability
      • Can also use 4x Functest VNFs (for benchmarking purposes)
    • StorePerf can be used for storage based evaluating
• Deployment and Compliance Validation (Cedric) > covered in RI discussions
• RM/RA requirements extraction (Rajesh, Sridhar) >covered in RI discussions
• Time Permitting
  • Issue Updates

Status | Milestones:

• Work-stream
  1. NFVI (Lead = Rajesh, Mike)
     1. Issues:  6 open
     2. PRs: 0 open
     3. Assistance Needed
        •  (In progress) 11/13 - Sridhar/Rajesh/Mark shifting ownership to RM/RA 1 team for extraction → Rajesh, work with Mark S., Sridhar  → work in progress
        •  (In progress) Manifest validations vs. RA Req → discussed in the RI work stream call, work in progress as AirShip manifests were followed for installs, but confirmation needed to ensure RA requirements have been met; offline discussion happening in email to confirm if manifest require changing
        •  Tune the declarative files to meet RA requirements (re-deploy)
     4. Status | Tasks (Work in progress)
        •  Receive Lab (date)
        •  (In progress) Translate RA requirements to Manifest Needs (See above for Assistance needed)
        •  Tune Manifest to match RA requirements (Target End State Lab - POD15) - status of POD 10, then date for POD 15
        •  Testing
          1. Prepare automation harness - connectivity, validation (POD10)? – Cedric?
             1. e.g. functest-smoke-cntt was just created. neutron-tempest-plugin-api is already conformed with the current API section.
          2. Create Test Plan
          3. Finalize Test Harness/Framework
          4. Perform Manifest Validations
          5. Results Collection & Normalization
  2. VNF (Lead = Mike)
     
     1. Issues: 6 open
     2. PRs: 0 open
     3. Assistance Needed
        1. Empirical Validations - VNF Prototype Plan / Strategy
        2. Trevor - details / dates for Network profiles and testing
     4. Status | Tasks (Work in progress)
        1. VNF Prototypes
           •  (In Progress) Families Identified
           •  (In Progress) Test Requirements Identified
           •  

             Strategy

             1. Use POD10 for Network Intensive. 

             2. Measure stats related to the NFVi datapath capacity.

             3. Goal will be to demonstrate full automation of the environment (continuous deployment) with test cases with some useful test results (continuous testing).
             4. Status?  Then look at adding compute and storage intensive VNFs and identify test cases that map back to CNTT specified capabilities. (Luc, Sridhar, Al, Trevor - creating more detailed plan?).
        2. Testing
           1. Create Test Plan
           2. Finalize Test Harness/Framework
           3. Results Collection & Normalization
  3. Dev (Lead = Cedric)
     1. Issues: 15 total open
     2. PRs: 0 open
     3. Assistance Needed
        1. Deployment Validations and continuous deployment / integration 
     4. Status | Tasks (Work in progress)
        1. Jenkins setup
        2. VNF prototype
           1.  Development
           2. Connectivity to POD15
