This webinar presents a discussion on the 23+ ongoing OPNFV projects, the first OPNFV release (Arno), why it is significant and the use-cases / customer needs the OPNFV project aims to address. Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform to accelerate the introduction of new NFV products and services, ensure the industry’s NFV needs are being met, and enable end user choice in specific technology components based on their use cases and deployment architectures.

2. Key Industry Trends
• Growth of data traversing the network
• Cloud computing changing the way applications are delivered
and consumed
• Service providers are under pressure to meet demands for
services from consumers, enterprises and the Internet of Things
• Industry shift towards Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

3. Key Industry Needs
• Increased service agility
• Improved operational efficiency
• Cloud-based delivery models
• Elasticity -- Dynamic resource allocation
• Ability to leverage commodity hardware
• Integration of existing open source NFV building blocks
• Ecosystem collaboration, coordination and testing
• Carrier-grade service performance

4. What is OPNFV?

5. OPNFV is an integrated,
open source platform to
accelerate the introduction
of new NFV products and
services.

6. Why Open Source?
• Higher reliability, more flexibility
• Faster, lower cost, and higher quality development
• Collaborative decisions about new features and roadmaps
• A common environment for uses and app developers
• Ability for users to focus resources on differentiating development
• Opportunity to drive open standards
5/29/15
Bottom Line: The open source model significantly accelerates consensus,
delivering high performing, peer-reviewed code that forms a basis for an
ecosystem of solutions.

7. Upstream Open Source
• Work directly with upstream open source projects
(OpenDaylight, OpenStack, KVM and Xen, and
many others)
• Work directly with standards bodies (ETSI and
others)
• Leverage existing codebases
• Integrate existing open source components
• Identify gaps to create new code
• Provide a point of integration, testing and
performance optimization

11. First ask the impossible
• Try, then learn what is possible
– Arno intent is: "
One vision, one platform, one release in 6 months.
• BGS, what?
– “Bootstrap & Get Started” launched our activities
– While our release demanded
• octopus – continuous automated integration & installation
• pharos – A global federated devops R&D environment
• functest – basic platform validation
• opnfvdocs – well, release docs…

14. Octopus
• Provides CI for all projects
– Documentation, code, testing
– End to end development including "
review, merge, artifact storage
• From
– Spinning up a validation task
• To
– Deploying the platform to the global lab

15. Functest
• OPNFV - Base system functionality testing…
• Well there’s a bit more to it:
• Rally Bench https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/FUNCTEST-1
• Rally Tempest https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/FUNCTEST-2
• vIMS https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/FUNCTEST-4
