OVP 2019.12 Release Update

• VNF testing during DDF event in Prague was successful, showing the VNF tooling appears ready for certification.

• Remaining to do:

  • Update sidebar documentation for 2019.12 release information

    • Need to create materials for VNF certification processes.

  • Deploy updated Dovetail portals to the live site

  • Complete test cycles and publish badges for NFVI and VNF products using the updated portals.

• Open questions, will LF do any press around the program launch or the first VNFs listed in the portal?

OVP 2.0 Update

• During the DDF event last week in Prague, there was general agreement to send out a call from interest / participation commitments to stand an OVP 2.0 work stream under CVC, to focus on program development for could native technologies.

• The formal call for participation is being drafted now, and will be sent out via LFN channels to the widest audience possible.

• In order for the work stream to start, there will need to be a good showing of committed responses (i.e. names / volunteers) for the work stream.

• Refer to this page for more information: OVP 2.0 (Cloud Native), https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/OVPp2_Kickoff 

• From CNCF TUG

  • Seems to be some confusion / concern about how this work would relate to the CNCF Test Bed.  What is the scope of this program, as well as the scope of the CNCF Test Bed.

  • Rabi shared a white paper from the TUG: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LO6G4sWHJKKW77z7gj2Aqt3IF3dRJL5q6Q1wXI4Kj8g/edit#heading=h.mk8qm2iyy17n

OVP 2020 Release Planning

• The first OVP 2020 release will likely focus on the GA release of the CNTT reference certification testing of the NFVI platform, expected in Q3.

• Beginning shortly (late Q1), the reference certification (RC1) should begin beta testing.

• Dovetail team will need to develop a work plan to support the transition to the reference certification testing, where testing is being completed using the Xtesting framework.

• VNF Testing

  • Enhancements to the existing testing are being discussed.

  • Dealing with some technical debt and clean up in the current testing implementation.

• VNF / NFVI testing per CNTT profiles

  • Performance Testing of VNF and NFVI

  • Need to determine a work plan for this, first of which, who would be responsible for development of this testing (OPNFV, ONAP, etc.).

Any other business
