Minutes
- Update from Alex
- APEX is discontinued; PTL resigned & there's no replacement
- So we'll stop working on this if it's not going to be supported
- DM: Generally a larger problem for LFN
- The certification/validation program (OVP) is reliant on Dovetail; Dovetail relies on OPNFV CI infra, OPNFV CI infra relies on several installers including APEX
- After Hunter release, the OPNFV CI infra will be down to only 1 installer (Fuel) from 5
- DM: Someone's been working on XCI (cross-community installer)
- Handful of communities migrated to it
- See it as the future of OPNFV
- Issues
- Dovetail has never been integrated with XCI, so don't know the challenges there
- Only 1-2 more OVP releases before Dovetail needs to do something; probably next year will become an issue
- APEX was most popular installer for projects
- Will try to move projects to XCI
- But XCI is sparsely supported
- DM is actively seeking dev resources to support XCI
- DM thinks it's in TF's interest to support XCI
- So…contribute resources? To help TF and everyone else as well?
- AL: Questions about this
- Fuel is EOL from Mirantis…?
- DM: Still called Fuel, but actually upstream is using new Mirantis MCP
- OK, but Fuel used to be most popular, haven't heard of folks using MCP, so XCI should be the way forward, but…not enough support?
- Does that mean no one's supporting OPNFV, if they're not interested in supporting deployment tools for it?
- DM: Value of OPNFV is providing feedback to upstream components about how they're applied at telco solutions
- Also, the release artefacts act as proof of concept for integrations
- AL: Options for TF
- Support some other installer (Helm OpenStack, Juju, whatever), but this is complicated
- Support XCI
- Investigated this
- Full-scale deployment
- Consider adding to XCI a deployer already used with Contrail?
- Alex has to talk to someone about this to get their sign-off
- RLB: Folks have wanted TF involved in XCI for a while
- Have been other priorities
- Resource contention problem
- At some point this year we'll probably end up working on it, though
- Still working on APEX until Hunter…?
- AL: Was the case, until this past Monday
- DM: Tim has said he will support APEX through Hunter
- AL: But makes no sense to do the work if it's discontinued after Hunter
- AL: For sure, won't make the Hunter release now
- Discuss next steps & resources on the call in 2 weeks
- DM: Will meet with Fatih at OSLS
- RLB/AL: AL & team will be in Bay Area at that time
- DM: Will try to get a meeting together w/everyone & Fatih
- PTL stuff
- omg Stuart, please send an email to tie this off
- DM will handle it via the mailing list & tie things off
- DM: next step is for AL to sort out the committers
- Remove inactive, add new
- AL: Already looking into it
Action Items
- AL: Meet with Fatih to discuss options
