15:05:14 <Prakash_DataTap> #info Prakash Kanthi
15:05:21 <bryan_att> too fast!
15:05:45 <bryan_att> #info OK, here is a quick summary of status
15:06:08 <bryan_att> #info the 19th call was cancelled and I sent an email
15:06:38 <bryan_att> #info The latest docs build was completed and is now linked to the wiki
15:06:58 <bryan_att> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/copper
15:07:18 <bryan_att> #info see "Current working draft of use cases, architecture, and requirements analysis"
15:07:51 <bryan_att> #link http://artifacts.opnfv.org/copper/design_docs/index.html
15:08:13 <bryan_att> #info I will move contend from the wiki into the doc as the work progresses
15:09:44 <bryan_att> #info Anyone can propose additional content in the doc - there is still significant analysis to do on the config requirements capabilities of various VIMs
15:10:30 <bryan_att> #info e.g. as they use Heat, flavors, Nova scheduler hints, MD-SAL, etc
15:11:50 <bryan_att> #info What I plan to do is develop a use case demo and implement the various resource requirements as model data (e.g. TOSCA) or test driver code that exercise existing OpenStack and ODL etc functionality
15:12:31 <bryan_att> #info The first step is still though getting a lab off the ground and I am working with Spirent to do that in their vctlab environment
15:12:53 <bryan_att> #info Nothing more to share at the moment except perhaps some sense of the project planning for B release
15:12:58 <bryan_att> any questions?
15:13:41 <Prakash_DataTap> #info Tacker has a means to specify the TOSCA templates that Heat can understand and have the ability to hook in a mgmt and monitoring driver.
15:13:58 <Prakash_DataTap> #info Do you see that as a viable part of the demo?
15:14:52 <bryan_att> #info Yes, that will be part of it. Any work to create an example, e.g. using a Tacker standalone environment, would be helpful
15:15:23 <bryan_att> #info For example, take a simple use case and describe how the TOSCA template would look
15:15:33 <Prakash_DataTap> #info One advantage I see with this is, all the VNFs can be instructed on what mgmt/monitoring drivers find out when policies are breached
15:16:07 <bryan_att> #Not sure I understand that point
15:16:15 <Prakash_DataTap> #info Sure, I can try building TOSCA templates for the UseCases you can add to this list.
15:16:41 <Prakash_DataTap> #info Tacker drivers can detect the policy breaches
15:17:13 <Prakash_DataTap> #info As Tacker can also communicate with other VNFs, we will have that feedback loop open, if needed
15:17:19 <bryan_att> #info A simple use case is a web server behind a firewall, with a cache between it and the firewall.
15:17:52 <Prakash_DataTap> #info agree
15:18:03 <bryan_att> #info It would be good to describe in the design doc how Tacker can detect policy breaches
15:18:26 <Prakash_DataTap> #info I can take up that task
15:18:59 <bryan_att> #info e.g. in the requirements section
15:19:02 <bryan_att> #link http://artifacts.opnfv.org/copper/design_docs/requirements.html
15:19:22 <bryan_att> #info there is a description of how various components can be used to implement the requirements
15:20:02 <bryan_att> #info in the process of describing and validating the solutions we will uncover gaps
15:20:41 <bryan_att> #info or in the best case end us with a clear description of how the Copper goals can be achieved today with existing components
15:21:11 <bryan_att> #info So put any proposed changes in using git and I will review them in gerrit
15:21:13 <Prakash_DataTap> #info agree
15:21:25 <bryan_att> #topic AOB
15:21:47 <bryan_att> ok, anything else? otherwise I will get back to building the lab...
15:22:14 <Prakash_DataTap> #info nope, i will review the UseCases. Thanks
15:22:30 <bryan_att> appreciate it. bye for now
