User Guide & Configuration Guide

Abstract

One of OPNFV’s project goals is to reduce time to integrate and deploy NFV infrastructure and onboard VNF/CNFs for those who supply components and those who operationalize these platforms. The OPNFV community does this by implementing, testing and deploying tools for conformance and performance of NFV infrastructure, aligned with industry reference architectures. This document provides guidance and instructions for using platform features designed to support the tools that are made available in the OPNFV Jerma release.

This document is not intended to replace or replicate documentation from other upstream open source projects such as KVM, OpenDaylight, OpenStack, etc., but to highlight the features and capabilities delivered through the OPNFV project.

Introduction

OPNFV provides a infrastructure deployment options, which are able to be installed to host virtualised network functions (VNFs). This document intends to help users of the platform leverage the features and capabilities delivered by OPNFV.

Feature Overview

The following links outline the feature deliverables from participating OPNFV projects in the Jerma release. Each of the participating projects provides detailed descriptions about the delivered features including use cases, implementation, and configuration specifics in the project documentation.

The following Configuration Guides and User Guides assume that the reader already has some knowledge about a given project’s specifics and deliverables. These Guides are intended to be used following the installation with an OPNFV installer to allow users to deploy and implement feature delivered by OPNFV.
