OpenContrail in OPNFVGoal

• Allow OpenContrail to be selected for virtual networking when OPNFV is deployed via any of the supported installers

Scope• Integration of OpenContrail artifacts (packages, installation scripts, …) into

OPNFV continuous integration system• Provide knowledge and code into installer projects (JOID, Apex, Fuel,

Opensteak, …)• Provide scripts to test for successful deployment of OpenContrail OPNFV

The OpenContrail for OPNFV project contributes:• OpenContrail images into Octopus artifact repo• Domain knowledge and code into the installer

projects Each installer uses different provisioning and configuration tools (e.g. Cobbler, Chef, Puppet, …)

5

Use Cases Supported by OPNFV• Stacks will be preloaded with images and configurations to support the

following use cases:• Multi-tenant infrastructure as a service• Dynamic creation and application of network policy• Creation of service chains and application of network policy to direct traffic through them• Use of OpenStack Heat templates for application stack and service chain creation• Load balancing in service chains, reverse flow symmetry, flow stability during scaling• Use of KVM hypervisor and Docker containers for VNFs• EVPN and OVSDB integration with switches for supporting physical servers• Flow mirroring to a virtualized packet analyzer• Flow-based analytics on per-network, per-VM and per TCP port basis• Path visualization for flows between VMs• Infrastructure health monitoring
