First OPNFV Project - JOID

OPNFV JOID @ CENGN

CENGN integrated one of our testbeds with the Canonical JOID Installer to create a Brahmaputra Release based NFVi

Contributions to the JOID project

• Deployed JOID as a user and worked with the JOID team for improvements

• Participated in deployment with Master/Head as a ‘Devtest’ environment for Brahmaputra

• Identified issues with ceph to work in 2-node environment• Influenced JUJU bundle changes• Identified better ways for abstracting POD configuration

from the deployment code• Created a YouTube video that tracks JOID deployment

CENGN Pharos Lab

CENGN Pharos is Now Operational!https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/pharos/CENGN+Pharos+Lab

CENGN Pharos Lab

• The CENGN Pharos Lab is located at CENGN's Ottawa, Canada facility.

• The Lab is integrated into the CENGN environment with secure remote access through SSH

• POD1 built with Kontron Symkloud 2910 and potential additional PODs under planning

Next Steps

• Run YARDSTICK to characterize performance of the infrastructure built

• Future Targets• Connection to the OPNFV Jenkins • Qualify the POD for other deployers – Apex, Mirantis• Additional PODs – ARM-based, OCP• Make POD1 available for the community – Dev vs CI• Become OPNFV certification Lab

OPNFV Intern Projects

Intern Project #3: StorPerf

• The project seeks to measure the latency of Cinder Volumes once they have reached a steady state of performance.

• Tasks to include:• Development of a test harness.• Implementation of a program module that detects steady

state in a given set of metrics.• Integration of the algorithms into StorPerf.• Graphing of statistics

• Project start – June 2016

Concluding Remarks

Summary• CENGN joined OPNFV Summit in 2014 as an observer. Significant progress in the

last 20 months!1. JOID our 1st Project2. Pharos Lab – Phase I complete3. 3 x Intern projects – (Pharos, JOID, Storperf)

• CENGN is using OPNFV learnings to demonstrate our Proof of Concepts & VNF Testing

• Membership in OPNFV has provided CENGN great opportunity to acquire and share expertise on Multiple deployers, Controllers, Test Systems

• Community Marketing Self nominated Top OPNFV Associate Member Marketing Award

• Gave away most Swag ‘Shot Glasses’ at OPNFV booth @ OpenStack Summit• Get Involved; OPNFV Group are Smart & Fun People! J

• Redundant hardware Cost for multiple services

• Today’s services are provided through physical devices that require manual deployment
