Airship-based Infrastructure Deployment and Lifecycle Management Project Proposal
Project Name:
- Proposed name for the project: Airship-based Infrastructure Deployment and Lifecycle Management
- Proposed name for the repository: airship
Project description:
Airship-based Infrastructure Deployment and Lifecycle Management is an installer with the goal of of deploying and managing the lifecycle of cloud and NFV infrastructure in order to support VNFs testing and certification on top of the infrastructure. This project intends to cover:
- Reference Implementation of cloud and NFV infrastructure according to industry infrastructure architecture model(s), e.g. Akraino blueprints, that Airship fits.
- Support of the VNF Testing and Certification running on top of the cloud and NFV infrastructure if so specified in the model(s).
Scope:
There is a market need to:
...
- Develop declarative description in YAML according to industry infrastructure model(s) that Airship fits
- Use upstream open source tool Airship to deploy and manage the lifecycle of Cloud and NFV infrastructure according to industry model(s) that Airship fits
- Support of VNF testing and certification if so specified in the model(s).
- Necessary YAML and integration tools as needed
- Integration with OPNFV's CI/CD pipeline according to long term evolution path
Testability:
- This project intends to follow and adhere to the gates and quality criteria used by OPNFV.
- This project intends to support additional deployment quality criteria if so specified in the model(s).
Dependencies:
- Upstream open source project Airship (Release 1.0 on April 25th, 2019)
- Industry standard models, e.g. Akraino blueprints (Release 1.0 on May 30th, 2019), that Airship fits
- Other industry models that Airship fits as they will be developed and matured
...
Planned deliverables:
- Declarative description in YAML according to industry standard infrastructure model(s)
- A script that will use Airship with YAML to deploy and manage the lifecycle of cloud and NFV infrastructure
- Integration with OPNFV’s CI/CD pipeline according to long term evolution path
- Optionally, necessary YAML and integration tools as needed.
Proposed Release Schedule:
This project is planned for the first release in 09/2019.
This project will follow the Continuous Delivery (CD) release model of OPNFV, and monthly release cadence.
