- Weekly meetings occurring (Sridhar, Trevor, Luc/Petar, others) - discussing build-out and use of a basic VNF prototype (ETA pending for completion and detailed plans)
- For VNF Prototype Testing:
- We can Leverage SampleVNF projects (and VNFs) for establishing baseline results of NFVI operability/stability
- Can also use 4x Functest VNFs (for benchmarking purposes)
- StorePerf can be used for storage based evaluating
- Status (11/20)

Status | Milestones:
- Work-stream
- NFVI (Lead = Rajesh, Mike)
- Issues: 6 open
- PRs: 0 open
- Assistance Needed
- (In progress) 11/13 - Sridhar/Rajesh/Mark shifting ownership to RM/RA 1 team for extraction → Rajesh, work with Mark S., Sridhar → work in progress
- (In progress) Manifest validations vs. RA Req → discussed in the RI work stream call, work in progress as AirShip manifests were followed for installs, but confirmation needed to ensure RA requirements have been met; offline discussion happening in email to confirm if manifest require changing
- Tune the declarative files to meet RA requirements (re-deploy)
- Status | Tasks (Work in progress)
- Receive Lab (date)
- (In progress) Translate RA requirements to Manifest Needs (See above for Assistance needed)
- Tune Manifest to match RA requirements (Target End State Lab - POD15) - status of POD 10, then date for POD 15
- Testing
- Prepare automation harness - connectivity, validation (POD10)? – Cedric?
- e.g. functest-smoke-cntt was just created. neutron-tempest-plugin-api is already conformed with the current API section.
- Create Test Plan
- Finalize Test Harness/Framework
- Perform Manifest Validations
- Results Collection & Normalization

- (In Progress) Families Identified
- (In Progress) Test Requirements Identified
Strategy
Use POD10 for Network Intensive.
Measure stats related to the NFVi datapath capacity.
- Goal will be to demonstrate full automation of the environment (continuous deployment) with test cases with some useful test results (continuous testing).
- Status? Then look at adding compute and storage intensive VNFs and identify test cases that map back to CNTT specified capabilities. (Luc, Sridhar, Al, Trevor - creating more detailed plan?).
- Testing
- Create Test Plan
- Finalize Test Harness/Framework
