Minutes
Lots of new features in the January 2021 release.
Less dependency on Ansible - 3 commands for deployment
Debian Centos Ubuntu, ... support
Leverage dynamic and shared runners for containers
@Cédric Ollivier is developing a Katacoda tutorial/course for running K8s Ref Conformance tests
Question about tools - the only dependency is the X-testing Framework. Many open source tools could be leveraged
Demo of the course - After install, run an Ansible playbook as proposed in Elbrus RC-2, currently using Jenkins helm chart but K8s equivalent possible
(Would be exactly the same for Open stack with changes to configuration files).
For the future, defining a way within X-testing to on-board CNF and VNF is critical (this has been done for OS and VNF)
would mean switching from shell runners to X-testing runners to replace LF IT CI
deploy K8s cluster for Anuket X-testing runners.
question about cost and "where" we deploy the k8s cluster
other LFN projects would want to deploy container builds
It is very easy to manage the test case list within our labs, by writing a test case list within a YAML file.
Some Next steps:
to release all Helm charts for the last components (TestAPI, Cachet, Docker registry, etc.)
to complete the continuous development part in all scenarios as in used in OPNFV (Jenkins): docker builds, unit tests, gates, etc.
to finish Katacoda (your feedbacks are all welcome)
