Continued Review of WS02 Findings 

• Material updated based on F2F observations (material)

• Discussion Regarding Key Decisions from April F2F (NOTE: items in italics are quotes from the material)

  • "CNTT’s RA-2 will be the location and hub for CNF Requirements"

    • RA-2 can still refer to requirements and specifications outside of RA-2 (ex: CNCF Tug work), but the thought is it would be the hub

    • Desire for CNF requirements to be hosted in a LFN project (if even indirectly)

    • Some concerns raised that CNTT focus has been solely on infrastructure vs. true CNF requirements (ex: Cloud Nativeness)

    • This means RA-2 can not point back to the Ref Model for CNF requirements.

    • Action Item: @Trevor Lovett & @Rabi Abdel Need to confirm the scope and types of requirements that RA-2 will include and if lack of traceability to RM is a concern to be solved

  • "NFVi Performance Testing will move out of the badging program, and move to a benchmarking initiative"

    • Conformance with performance requirements may be needed in the future

    • Creating the requirements at this time may not be achievable

    • Focus would be on establishing a benchmarking initiative to standardize how benchmarking of the NFVI would be performed (example: what would be measured, what tools used, approved labs, etc.)

    • OVP can play a valuable role in specifying how this benchmarking program would work even if we don't start with badging

    • Benchmarking may evolve to explicit conformance requirements in the future

    • Need a team focused on defining how this would work, tools to be used, and what is needed from the various project

    • Proposal is to create a workstream to focus on this, but need volunteers

  • "Performance testing of CNFs should be out of scope for OVP"

    • Felt this may not be out of long term scope of OVP, but is out of scope for MVP.

    • Statement will be revised to be specific to the MVP.

  • Only made it through 3 bullets.
