Hey all, tl;dr Humbly requesting a handful of nodes to run NFV tests in CI
Intel has their NFV tests tempest plugin [1] and manages a third party CI for Nova. Two of the cores on that project (Stephen Finucane and Sean Mooney) have now moved to Red Hat, but the point still stands that there's a need and a use case for testing things like NUMA topologies, CPU pinning and hugepages. At Red Hat, we also have a similar tempest plugin project [2] that we use for downstream whitebox testing. The scope is a bit bigger than just NFV, but the main use case is still testing NFV code in an automated way. Given that there's a clear need for this sort of whitebox testing, I would like to humbly request a handful of nodes (in the 3 to 5 range) from infra to run an "official" Nova NFV CI. The code doing the testing would initially be the current Intel plugin, bug we could have a separate discussion about keeping "Intel" in the name or forking and/or renaming it to something more vendor-neutral. I won't be at PTG (conflict with personal travel), so I'm kindly asking Stephen and Sean to represent this idea in Denver. Cheers!
