  • Exists to get feedback from end user stakeholders.

  • Typical tickets: job failed, external system, caching, new project onboarding, etc. standing up project infrastructure solutions

  • Most of work has been: “hey can you please release X artifact”, runs process to push out (ONAP has automated a lot of this)

  • New work has been mostly supporting infrastructure automation systems.

  • Answer community questions: reqs for systems, options available (e.g. security scanning), helps community,

  • More than releng Trevors group is also greater technical liason for LF & LFN. When LFN umbrella happened. More streamlining was hoped for but that doesn’t scale so they work as a ‘group’ / pool.

  • Modernization WIP to streamline/collaborate/etc. – has looked at reqs, tools, still trying to figure out CI. Also trying to continue moving

  • Towards self-service, automate more and more of what being done.

  • **Having pipelines in same repos helps this** but right now each project has it’s own repo. Makes for a handoff to leverage CI.

  • In an LF project, have transitioned from Jenkins to ‘Azure pipeline. Project is given tools and access to make changes themselves. Trevor’s team th

  • Then work as advisory role. Always looking for leverage and scale, e.g. Global JJB work new Java project can get up and running fast with templates

  • Predefined and ready to go.

  • Tools

    • Continuous Integration Circle CI, Jenkins

    • Continuous Delivery (of artifacts): Nexus, S3, Artifactory Cloud, Jfrog bintry, DockerHub, Maven, PyPI, etc. – different per project

    • Continuous Deployment: generally do not do this part

    • Currently OPNFV using Jenkins and GoogleCompute and DockerHub. On Gerritt for code. OPNFV has a lot of hardware, but need to more of cloud access.

    • Session in Prague. What is needed for CNTT CI systems?

  • Orange folks at ONAP are evaluating GitLab CI, and evaluating K8s as a service. They are currently working with Azure. Cedric is close affiliated with the ONAP work

  • So can/may trickle down to ONPFNV.

  • Trevor’s group has 8 folks right now, with a few contractors. For all intents and purposes Trevor and Aric are the SPOCs for OPNFV, and both will be in Prague.

  • Jessica Wagantahl. Bengt Thuree. Will also be in Prague.
