Hi,
I am happy to announce we finally submitted the final changes for PDF/IDF 
support in Fuel.
We have been using PDF for a few weeks to describe most of the hardware 
parameters (IPMI credentials for cluster nodes, network VLANs etc.),
but we were lacking support for dynamic configuration of interface allocation 
(e.g. mgmt VLAN was always assigned to the Xth NIC, tagged; public was always 
assigned to Yth NIC etc.).

For those of you who have securedlab access, the IDF change, adding some new 
Fuel-specific params for lf-pod2/arm-pod5 is at [1].
For those who don't, we also provide a sample IDF in Fuel@OPNFV, which is 
basically a copy of lf-pod2's IDF.

The Fuel code consuming the new data is at [2]. We can now model any 
arrangement of tagged/untagged, vlan or physical interface configuration.

This means that soon after the release, we can start re-enabling all Fuel PODs 
that did not align with the lf-pod2/arm-pod5 hardcoded setups (ericsson-pod1, 
zte-pod1 etc.).

To summarize, here are the PDF/IDF requirements for Fuel:
- PDF (as per Pharos specification), including net_config section (which is not 
part of the spec yet, but it doesn't collide with it either - see sample [3], 
which is basically lf-pod2's PDF);
- IDF - we don't depend on the shared section (yet), and the Fuel-specific 
section is quite lightweight and self-explanatory - see sample [4];

BR,
Alex
