7. Priorities and Goals of TSC Members (Partial Response)
Strategic / Business
What the purpose of OPNFV is?
Focus on well-defined scope and achievable deliverables
Mature and maximize value of CI/CD and testing as core deliverables, e.g. test database, global CI/CD out of installers
Technology
Focus on integration, testing and test tools
Switch from installer-centric to test centric, and add test database. Make test cases executed in OpenStack gates.
Focus resources on key projects, i.e. most important and useful toolchain, mature tools and platform release
Cloud native / microservice-based test tools in CN CD pipeline
CI/CD & Testing / Tooling for CN-NFV
Edge Deployment Use Case using CI/CD and XCI, and gaps in testing scenarios
Best Practice and Process
Define common procedures
Promote best practice
Community Development
Collaboration with other open source communities (e.g. ONAP, Akraino)

8. Expertise in Integration and Testing Test Toolchain and Test Cases
Key Assets in OPNFV
CI/CD and XCI Pipeline
Expertise in Integration and Testing
Test Toolchain and Test Cases
NFV expertise and NFV hardware available
E.g. verify if a specific platform is capable of handling NFV workloads (i.e. HA, performance, advanced network use cases such as SFC...)
Experience in close collaboration with several other communities

9. Evolution

10. Key Objectives for Evolving OPNFV
Focus on Stakeholder-oriented Business Opportunity of OPNFV
Benefit the business of stakeholders and other communities
Build on existing strengths and key assets of OPNFV
Evolve Technology Excellence of OPNFV Solution
Microservice and Cloud Native toolchain, Edge test cases
Improved usability and consumability of OPNFV’s deliverables
OPNFV tool chain & approach easy to replicate
E.g. evolve from DIY to Service/Cloud based tool chains
Continue to Grow Community and Cross-Project Interaction
Developer-oriented events and activities

11. DevOps – a Business Opportunity for OPNFV
Enterprises have been transforming into DevOps organization for years
Agile transformation from agile development into production and operation
Test-driven v.s. feature-driven, CI/CD model
Challenges include cultural, structural and process, collaboration etc.
One key challenge is Automation, i.e. automated CI/CD platform and toolchain
Roadblocks of our sister community, e.g. ONAP deployment and adoption
Key roadblock is the Operations aspects, especially DevOps deployment and operation
Business Opportunity for OPNFV: A DevOps Platform for Integrated NFV Solutions and Beyond
Benefit the business of stakeholders and other communities
Built upon our existing strength and key assets (e.g. CI/CD Pipeline, Expertise in Integration and Testing, and Test Toolchain, etc.)
Addressable market includes service providers, all organizations in the ecosystem, sister communities
A low hanging fruit

12. A User Story AS A Telco Service Provider ROLE TYPE
I NEED TO continuously deploy a customized software on an Edge Cloud
SO THAT I CAN minimize cycle time of deploying new feature components, achieve operational efficiency and improve business agility in order to serve my customers with better user experience
TO DO THIS, I NEED a DevOps platform that can
Create an infrastructure, e.g. a K8S cluster, to host the DevOps toolchain and automation workflow
Deploy basic toolchain used in DevOps workflow, e.g. Jenkins, Maven, Nexus, Sonar, etc. to the host infrastructure
Streamline the entire workflow by integrating cloud-based toolchain, e,g, Github, with hosted toolchain
Automate the workflow by configuring the toolchain appropriately, e.g. triggers
Enable the customization by
Setting up the rules and related feature components to trigger the start of build
Setting up the gating jobs with specific test tools, and defining pass/fail criteria
Enable continuous delivery in operation by defining criteria from Dev to staging, and criteria from staging to Ops
Include a rich set of test tools

13. OPNFV Strategy – A DevOps Platform for Integrated NFV Solutions and Beyond
Focus on the scope and core value
Enabling and automating stakeholders’ business transformation into DevOps organization
Addressing key roadblock of other open source communities (e.g. ONAP, OpenStack, Acumos etc.)

14. Evolve Technology Excellence
Microservice and Cloud Native Toolchain
Edge test cases
Cloud Service Toolchain (Long term vision)
To simplify consumption of CI/CD Toolchain for better user experience
E.g. A comparison of DIY On-Premise v.s. Cloud Service
Current OPNFV DIY
Cloud Service Options
OPNFV owned servers
Metal-as-a-Service / Packet.net
Git/Gerrit
Github
Jenkins
Zuul, CircleCI/TravisCI
Nexus, ..
packagecloud

15. Community Growth
Continue to Grow Community and Cross-Project Interaction
Developer-oriented events and activities aligned with OPNFV technology evolution
E.g. Kubecon for Cloud Native and Microservices
E.g. Edge related developer events, e.g. collaborate with Edge activities in OpenStack and other communities
Analytics events?

16. Develop a Work Plan of 2019 Define deliverables / finished goods
Streamline workflow within and across
Installers
Infra WG
Test WG
Cloud Native WG
Release WG
Feature projects continue to work as-is
Use case / test case / internal customer of DevOps platform
E.g. Edge Deployment as typical use case to test against DevOps platform, and fill in the gaps
An analysis and roadmap to Cloud-Services based offering
