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
RELREQ-13	Infrastructure Requirements
RELREQ-17	Operations and LCM Requirements
RELREQ-18	Assurance Requirements Support Study	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.
RELREQ-19	Minimum OpenStack Major Release is Stein	Committed to support minimum release Stein, while working with upstream community for the possibility of moving to Train in the Jerma release time frame.
