- Looking to modify artefacts first, naming appropriately
- Will have more info in TSC call on Thursday
- Docs
- If you're adding a feature, you're required to include docs
- The future of TF
- Move between TF & Contrail should be possible: How can the community help ensure this?
- Should be able to migrate between TF & Contrail
- Before that, need to bring the migration/upgrade process into the community branch
- Should be possible, but hasn't been tested
- For instance, no docs to migrate from TF 5.0 to 5.1
- CNI dpdk support vrouter
- Sukhdev spoke w/Anand Sunday evening. A is looking into jumping into this. SK has asked him to collaborate w/community
- dpdk support for containers/pods
- PS: Not only will get this into the community support, but also could help w/dpdk transition and perf improvement
- PS will collaborate w/Anand
- Anyone else who's interested should jump into the mailing list thread
- Sukhdev spoke w/Anand Sunday evening. A is looking into jumping into this. SK has asked him to collaborate w/community
- Move between TF & Contrail should be possible: How can the community help ensure this?
- PS will bring proposal document in next meeting (he hopes)
- Sukhdev: Service chaining
- Juniper customers are asking questions about this
- This is already available for VMs
- SK thinks it's also there for containers/pods
- SK will have Contrail security expert join the meeting in August to talk about this stuff (as well as about Contrail security)
- Juniper customers are asking questions about this
- ONS EU demo ideas
- Demo proposal deadline is July 31
- PS suggests service chaining as an idea for TF
- What other ideas?
- jluk: Codilime giving a talk w/Magdalena about service chaining in cloud native; considering an LFN booth demo on this as well
- Will share proposal here for collaboration
- Working to integrate another LFN project; could use some brainstorming on this
- SK: NSM demo?
- Not a lot of time to coordinate w/NSM
- VMB: Propose, please! Great idea. (Casey: +1!)
- SK: Smart NIC?
- Jan: Things still working through testing; nothing too new
- SK: Would be good to show perf improvements
- Jan: Will run it through internally & see what folks say
- jluk: smartnic connections to pods?
- Jan: Investigating this now.
- Upstream k8s uses multus to switch between different providers
- TF k8s driver works a bit differently
- Good news is that plugin logic in openstack appears transferrable, but don't know…
- Schedule workloads on k8s
- Handle things efficiently
- etc
- At the very least, some of the plugin code needs to move into the CNI plugin
- Connect virtual function into the pod
- Would work the same (but implement slightly differently) in k8s & openstack
- So nothing to demo here yet
- jluk: Codilime giving a talk w/Magdalena about service chaining in cloud native; considering an LFN booth demo on this as well
- DH: More info about 5.0 → 5.1 upgrades? What's ATS working on here?
- Nothing in flight right now
- Has been mentioned on TSC calls as a priority
- Before migrating between TF & Contrail, need to be able to upgrade TF itself
- SK: There are 2 or 3 upgrade procedures for Contrail
- ISSU, etc
- Don't think it's documented publicly, but may be on Juniper website
- PS: Are deployment artefacts for Contrail public right now?
- Would need access to these to test it
- SK: Yes, this is available.
- Upgrade procedure
- Some containers are private (just the commercial stuff)
- Commercial customers typically use RHOSP (RedHat upgrades it for them)
- But procedures and containers should be the same for public & private consumption
- DH: GSoC project is working on this
- Upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1
- Will be some documentation coming out of this
