Tackers,

I'd like to propose following changes to the Tacker core team.

Stephen Wong

After being associated with Tacker project from its genesis, Stephen
Wong (irc: s3wong) has decided to step down from the core-team. I
would like to thank Stephen for his contribution to Tacker,
particularly for his help navigating the initial days splitting off
Neutron and in re-launching this project in Vancouver summit for
TOSCA-based NFV Orchestration. His recent effort in writing the SFC
driver to support VNF Forwarding Graph is much appreciated. Thanks
Stephen!

Dharmendra Kushwaha

It gives me great pleasure to propose Dharmendra (irc:  dkushwaha) to
join the Tacker core team. Dharmendra's contributions to tacker
started in Jan 2016. He is an active contributor across the board [1]
in bug fixes, code cleanups and, most recently, as a lead author of
the Network Services Descriptor blueprint.

Also, Dharmendra recently stepped up to take care of bug triage for
Tacker. There is an uptick in deployment issues reported through LP
[2] and in irc - which itself is a good healthy thing. Now we need to
respond by fixing the issues reported promptly. Dharmendra’s help will
be immensely valuable here.

Existing cores - please vote +1 / -1.

thanks,
Sridhar

[openstack-dev] [tacker] Tacker design sessions summary

[Sripriya Seetharam]

Hello Tackers,

Here is a high level summary (delayed!) of the Tacker design sessions [1] at 
the summit. Please feel free to add/comment on the notes in case I have missed 
any.

Fishbowl session:

Topic-1: VMware / vCloud, Public Cloud
There is a need for supporting VIMs beyond OpenStack in Tacker. It was 
suggested that native VMware deployment using vcloud is typical in customer 
deployments. There was also discussion on VMware integrated OpenStack as a 
deployment choice. Both options were explored and the general agreement was to 
use the vCloud api to talk to VMware VIM. The open vCloud API is able to 
support complex resource requests from Tacker with a rich set of REST APIs. 
Action items include revisiting the current VIM API that will allow any VIM to 
be registered in Tacker and reference OpenStack driver be part of VIM module, 
drivers including VMware will reside outside Tacker project. CI options - 3rd 
party CI testing similar to Nova VMware driver tests needs to be integrated in 
Tacker. Tacker feature compatibility such as - scaling, monitoring, mgmt 
driver, auto network, auto flavor creation need to be evaluated and implemented 
specific to vCloud API.

Topic 2: Containerized VNFs
The topic was around exploring the current options for launching VNFs as 
containers. Zun project provides API for containers life cycle management. 
There are still questions around how to consume zun's REST APIs and its
interaction with container networking project such as Kuryr. Also, the role of 
VIM in container management such as OpenStack using Zun, VMware vCloud using 
photon was discussed to identify the support required by VIM for container 
management. It was agreed that a spec needs to be created to come with a plan 
for 1st iteration of container support in Tacker.

Work sessions:

Topic 1: NSD - Mistral Integration
The role of workflow composer such as mistral was discussed to implement the 
NSD feature. Given, NSD template describes a complex network service, there are 
benefits in bringing mistral to process the template with dependency 
requirements or to initiate resource requests in parallel. Also, any error 
scenarios or forking sub tasks on certain matching VNF criteria can be handled 
with mistral support, especially for forwarding graphs. The action items 
identified was to build a basic translator that can map simple NSD TOSCA 
templates to Mistral workflow files in the 1st iteration for Ocata cycle. This 
can later be evolved to handle more complex requirements of NSD.

Topic 2: EM Interface Evolution
The discussion was around defining the API interactions between Tacker and 
external EM interface for VNF management. It was agreed that there is no 
standard way to define and implement this feature. The orchestrator and 
framework should implement a basic version of this interaction and later evolve 
it as more requirements are gathered. There needs to be a feedback loop from EM 
interface to Tacker to drive the policies and performance SLAs of VNFs. The 
orchestrator needs to provide the calls to EM interface for VNF configuration 
management. Also, VNF change notifications should be monitored by the EM 
interface and the data sent as a loopback to Tacker to trigger action requests.

Topic 3: Senlin Integration:
Senlin team provided a good overview of the project and described cluster 
management for scaling and HA policies in Tacker. Heat-translator provides 
supports for senlin resources. Also, senlin integration generates multiple 
templates including profiles and clusters that will have to be handled and 
managed within Tacker. There needs to be support for specifying target set of 
nodes/VDUs that needs to be scaled out/scaled in by senlin. There are 
challenges in translating tosca scaling policies and vnf properties to senlin 
resource types such as profile, cluster and policy as there is no 1:1 mapping 
of these resources between tosca template and senlin heat templates. It was 
agreed that an initial support can be brought in as an alternative to heat auto 
scaling if senlin is deployed on the system.

Cross project discussions
Topic: 4 tosca-parser/heat-translator:
The TP/HT folks updated the team on the 2 features that are brought in for 
Ocata cycle. 1. nested-templates which is required for target VDU scaling and 
2.substitution mappings required for NSD implementation. The team discussed on 
supporting forwarding graph in NSD in tosca-parser project. The action item 
identified was to find the gaps between the NSD spec in tosca profile and 
tosca-parser support and TP team will correspondingly follow up with the 
required fixes.

Topic 5: networking-sfc:
Tacker is now using networking-sfc to implement forwarding graphs. The ask was 
to rely on a stable branch of networking-sfc to bring in the functional tests 
for forwarding graphs in Tacker. The networking-sfc team will create newton 
release in December and will follow the regular release schedule going forward 
from

Re: [openstack-dev] [Tacker] Presence at PTG Atlanta

[Sripriya Seetharam]

Hi,

Based on team’s decision in tacker weekly meeting [1], Tacker team has decided 
to have a virtual developer meetup and not have PTG presence in Atlanta. Given, 
most of our contributors are geographically spread out, it was decided that the 
virtual midcycle format would be more appropriate in getting the maximum number 
of contributors together to conduct the design meetup.

Thanks,
Sripriya

Hi Tackers,

As you all know, the first PTG meetup (Pike cycle) is happening at Atlanta, Feb 
20-24, 2017. This is as per the new format starting after Barcelona conference, 
where design summit happens in between two OpenStack conferences. Please read 
[1] for more details. I believe our traditional virtual mid cycle meetups have 
been effective for project scoping and discussions and we could have something 
similar for design summit. We can discuss in the upcoming Tacker weekly meeting 
and also in mailing list to provide our decision.

Thanks,
Sripriya

Tackers,

I'd like to propose Yong Sheng Gong to join the Tacker core team. Yong is a 
seasoned OpenStacker and has been contributing to Tacker project since Nov 2015 
(early Mitaka). He has been the major force in helping Tacker to shed its 
Neutronisms. He has low tolerance on unevenness in the code base and he fixes 
them as he goes. Yong also participated in the Enhanced Placement Awareness 
(EPA) blueprint in the Mitaka cycle. For Newton he took up himself cleaning up 
the DB schema and in numerous reviews to keep the project going. He has been a 
dependable member of the Tacker community [1].

Please chime in with your +1 / -1 votes.

thanks,

Tackers,

It gives me great pleasure to propose Kanagaraj Manickam to join the Tacker 
core team. In a short time, Kanagaraj has grown into a key member of the Tacker 
team. His enthusiasm and dedication to get Tacker code base on par with other 
leading OpenStack projects is very much appreciated. He is already working on 
two important specs in Newton cycle and many more fixes and RFEs [1]. Kanagaraj 
is also a core member in the Heat project and this lends well as we heavily use 
Heat for many Tacker features.

I'm happy to propose Bharath Thiruveedula (IRC: tbh) to join the tacker core 
team. Bharath has been contributing to Tacker from the Liberty cycle, and he 
has grown into a key member of this project. His contribution has steadily 
increased as he picked up bigger pieces to deliver [1]. Specifically, he 
contributed the automatic resource creation blueprint [2] in the Mitaka 
release. Plus tons of other RFEs and bug fixes [3]. Bharath is also a key 
contributor in tosca-parser and heat-translator projects which is an added plus.

Re: [openstack-dev] tacker

[Sripriya Seetharam]

Hello Yeping Liu,

You can create a VNFD template using the command:

tacker vnfd-create --vnfd-name sample_vnfd --vnfd-file 
~/tacker/devstack/samples/sample-vnfd-monitor.yaml

Here, --vnfd-file argument takes the template yaml file as an input

You can find more templates at 
https://github.com/openstack/tacker/tree/master/devstack/samples

Monitoring can be enabled in the VNFD template using the 'monitoring_policy' 
section in VNFD template. We support 'ping' and http_ping' monitoring drivers

You can deploy VNF using the created VNFD template with the command:
vnf-create --vnf-name test_vnf --vnfd-name sample_vnfd

Feel free to ping us on #tacker IRC channel or drop a question on 
https://answers.launchpad.net/tacker .

Cheers,
Sripriya

In the current Liberty cycle Bob made significant, across the board 
contributions to Tacker [1]. Starting with many usability enhancements and 
squashing bugs Bob has shown commitment and consistently produced high quality 
code. To cap he recently landed Tacker's health monitoring framework to enable 
loadable VNF monitoring. His knowledge in NFV area is a huge plus for Tacker as 
we embark onto even greater challenges in the Mitaka cycle.

Along the lines, we are actively looking to expand Tacker's core reviewer team.
