The OPNFV community has developed a comprehensive set of open source test tools and test methodologies for NFVIs and VM-based cloud platforms. As the number of open source solutions and use cases grows, so does the need for robust resiliency and interop testing. We need to think about how to evolve these tools to meet the requirements of emerging and future use cases such as edge computing and cloud native infrastructure. This talk will take a look at the available tools and show how these… Show more

The OPNFV community has developed a comprehensive set of open source test tools and test methodologies for NFVIs and VM-based cloud platforms. As the number of open source solutions and use cases grows, so does the need for robust resiliency and interop testing. We need to think about how to evolve these tools to meet the requirements of emerging and future use cases such as edge computing and cloud native infrastructure. This talk will take a look at the available tools and show how these tools can be leveraged by other open source projects - by showing how they are leveraged within OPNFV. We will discuss how to run our tools against many different deployments, test different components of your system (VIM, vswitch, storage, etc.) and perform different types of testing (infrastructure verification, feature validation, stress and resiliency testing, performance benchmarking and characterization, etc.).

The OPNFV Verified Program is a freshly launched compliance program targeting the validation of API compliance and behavioral characteristics of a NFVI platform. The program leverages test cases written both in OPNFV itself as well as test cases available in upstream communities. Within the OPNFV community, the Dovetail project is working on the technical realization of the program by creating a test tool, selecting test cases, and engaging with the OPNFV community and upstream communities to… Show more

The OPNFV Verified Program is a freshly launched compliance program targeting the validation of API compliance and behavioral characteristics of a NFVI platform. The program leverages test cases written both in OPNFV itself as well as test cases available in upstream communities. Within the OPNFV community, the Dovetail project is working on the technical realization of the program by creating a test tool, selecting test cases, and engaging with the OPNFV community and upstream communities to establish new test cases.

In this talk, we will present a high-level overview of the OPNFV Verified Program to the broader OpenStack community. We will show how Dovetail ties into the overall test ecosystem and leverages OPNFV and upstream test tools. Finally, we want to spark discussions in the community about closing gaps in test coverage, test strategy and how we can join forces across communities. Show less

NFV Networking Service on-demand requires quick development and deployment of new APIs. Gluon provides a model-driven, extensible framework to fulfill such requirement and enable the visibility and control of specific functionality of NFV networking services.

The core of Gluon framework is a novel modeling method to define new services at micro-service level. Its extensible object model enables flexible composition of formally monolithic services with right-size functionality, based on… Show more

NFV Networking Service on-demand requires quick development and deployment of new APIs. Gluon provides a model-driven, extensible framework to fulfill such requirement and enable the visibility and control of specific functionality of NFV networking services.

The core of Gluon framework is a novel modeling method to define new services at micro-service level. Its extensible object model enables flexible composition of formally monolithic services with right-size functionality, based on which APIs are generated and deployed on-demand. Services can be dynamically created and bound to infrastructure resources according to fine-grained deployment requirements. Thus service providers will achieve not only the service on-demand but also the desired scalability of specific functions within a service.

This presentation talks about the detailed design and implementation of this novel service modeling framework for telco's NFV networking. Show less

OpenStack Gluon is a model-driven, extensible framework that enables telecom network operators to provide customers with NFV networking services on-demand by generating APIs from a YAML file which models the NFV Networking Service. We’ll give an overview of Gluon and share a demonstration that will show how Gluon enables quick development and accelerates deployment of new networking service APIs (a.k.a. Protons). We’ll also provide an overview of the OPNFV NetReady project, whose goal is to… Show more

We’ll give an overview of Gluon and share a demonstration that will show how Gluon enables quick development and accelerates deployment of new networking service APIs (a.k.a. Protons). We’ll also provide an overview of the OPNFV NetReady project, whose goal is to investigate how the current OpenStack networking architecture needs to be evolved in order to ensure that NFV-related use cases can be flexibly and efficiently supported.
