Overview

To get VNF vendors more comfortable with the OVP program for VNFs, the plan is to conduct a OVP VNF hacking track at the upcoming LFN DDF/Plugfest. This can hopefully start a virtuous cycle where more VNF vendors means more ONAP in production, which in-turn will drive more VNF vendors to interoperate with ONAP.

The broad tasks are:

• VNF vendor outreach – messaging, EUAG/MAC assistance, webinar, blog
• Test plan creation – test plan for VNF vendors 
• Pre-testing – Make ONAP environments available 6 weeks before the event for VNF vendors to do pre-testing before they come to the event
• VNF hacking track – Onsite phase where vendors are free to do as little or as much testing as they feel comfortable with easy access to experts

Lead Volunteers:

• Amar Kapadia
• Pierre Lynch [Keysight]

High-level status (chronological):

• August-26-2019: CVC green signal to proceed. View presentation.
• August-30-2019: Goal is to agree on the messaging. Proposed draft:
  • ONAP overview
  • ONAP xNF requirements
    • Direct/Heat approach
    • sVNFM/TOSCA approach
  • OVP overview
  • OVP VNF hacking track at the next LFN DDF/Plugfest details (CNF, PNF outside the scope of this event)
  • Why should the VNF vendor care
  • Call-to-action: Invitation to attend Plugfest
