Scope
Anuket Airship Installer is an OpenStack Airship based NFVi infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management software with the goals to support CNTT Reference Implementations for the OpenStack and Cloud Native Reference Architectures, and support the VNF and CNF testing and certifications.
In the Jerma release, the scope of Airship Installer project includes the continuous development of the OpenStack based deployment and initiation of the cloud native architecture.
OpenStack Architecture
Upgrade OpenStack release to at least Stein, if available upstream, to Train.
Support OVS-DPDK (and SR-IOV)
Refresh software versions that Airship Installer depends on: OpenStack Helm charts, images, Kubernetes, Ubuntu OS (Bionic)
Address conformance testing bugs
Simply and Enhance deployment user experience
Further collaboration and integration with HDV/SDV development effort.
Cloud Native Architecture
Proof of Concept Airship CNTT RI-2 deployment based on Airship 2.0 Beta release
Contribute to CNTT RA-2 and RI-2 specs
Support CNF conformance testing
Add Kubernetes conformance testing in upstream
Requirements
Airship Installer will support the following OPNFV-level requirements:
Key | Summary | Note |
|---|---|---|
Airship Installer by default deploys cloud native Prometheus tool and collects metrics thru Prometheus exporters for OpenStack services, K8s nodes, processes. Airship Installer is open to other monitoring and metering tools. | ||
Committed to support minimum release Stein, while working with upstream community for the possibility of moving to Train in the Jerma release time frame. |
