    7. status of CI summary being given by Florin (joekidder, 14:05:29)
    8. the CI pod is currently busy with some development work, so CI deploy/test has been suspended shortly... (joekidder, 14:06:06)
    9. Vijayendra Radhakrishna (vijayendra, 14:06:36)
    10. ...but we're bringing another mixed HA pod (APM and Cavium) with a patch that allows us to do "ipmi" actions over SNMP... (joekidder, 14:06:45)
    11. This APM/Cavium HA pod will be available for CI only as necessary, but will also be available for C-release (mitaka) development. Not a dedicated full-time CI pod. (joekidder, 14:09:23)
    12. now we only run odl-layer2 scenario. We will expand the scenarios to include odl-layer3 and noSDN. this will be a rotating scenario, one each night. (joekidder, 14:11:27)

    1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J7SyQTWSMBmLlOq-yyhHFwkpyHtxbGgvJT-f4J_knOA/edit#gid=0 (AlexAvadanii, 14:14:02)
    2. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pBUtYkl46LcPDMeUa5cwqtwnBS0YSWew2L-YCPfBYAo/edit#gid=1628305204 (AlexAvadanii, 14:14:58)
    3. finished migration from brahma to colorado, reviewing, some minor bootstrap changes, some leftover package port/cleanup, moving ahead towards CI work. (joekidder, 14:15:03)
    4. deploy patches to fuel@opnfv: https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/q/status:open+project:fuel+branch:master+topic:remote-libvirt-support (joseppc, 14:17:37)
    5. Fuel work looks good. progress moving forward. (joekidder, 14:22:47)
    6. Testing within Colorado (joekidder, 14:22:56)
    7. biggest hurdle for functest is adding vIMS/Cloudify support...moving well. (joekidder, 14:24:02)
    8. yardstick... (joekidder, 14:24:07)
    9. building a yardstick image - docker image for yardstick and a centos vm image for cloudify. (joekidder, 14:25:31)
    10. testing and integration of both yardstick and vims should start next week. (joekidder, 14:26:51)
    11. http://linux.enea.com/mos-repos/ubuntu/ (AlexAvadanii, 14:27:15)
    12. some packages for vIMS will need to get built and published on the linux.enea.com public repo. (joekidder, 14:28:19)
    13. Question: do we feel like we're integrated and connected with the OPNFV community for the Colorado? Florin answers "yes, it seems our community involvement is good (much better than in B-release)" (joekidder, 14:31:22)
    14. Bin mentions that we need to next start to get involved with the feature projects and make sure that any fuel installer support for features also support arm. (joekidder, 14:32:23)
    15. This may be only in some places, and may be best discovered by "trying" some of these features on arm. (joekidder, 14:33:07)
    16. also may be able to work with the fuel team to find some of these by inspection. (joekidder, 14:33:48)
    17. Alex brings the observation that there are some occurrences of x86-hardcoding in some of the installer plugins. (joekidder, 14:34:15)
    18. They're (mirantis) trying to start getting plugin authors to write for architecture-independent. (joekidder, 14:34:58)
    19. but we probably need to go via inspection and probably could find this. (joekidder, 14:35:27)
    20. e.g. ODL patch rebase https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/15037/1/patches/fuel-plugin-opendaylight/0001-arm64-support-for-OpenDaylight-Fuel-Plugin.patch (AlexAvadanii, 14:37:43)
    21. Florin will probably add this topic to his presentation at the OPNFV Summit. Would like to show example of "wrong way" and "right way" and use ODL as a concrete existing example. (joekidder, 14:37:47)
    22. status on alternate installers (joekidder, 14:40:49)
    23. no updates from Joid - they're using a couple of targets from the all-cavium pod. We're sharing this pod with them. But not a lot of activity yet. (joekidder, 14:42:20)
    24. stan asked whether Canonical (who are working on Joid - narinder gupta) could use their in-house ThunderX. Potentially we might raise the question with Narinder. (joekidder, 14:44:25)
    25. speculation is that they're not connected. just a thought. (joekidder, 14:44:39)
    26. no update from Apex - it's not clear whether they're getting any bandwidth to work on the pod. Last question was about where to create a jump server VM... (joekidder, 14:45:31)
    27. "any bandwidth" means apex bandwidth rather than pharos lab bandwidth. (joekidder, 14:46:06)
    28. https://01.org/sites/default/files/page/openstack-epa_wp_fin.pdf (AlexAvadanii, 14:50:48)
    29. kin-yip from cavium - asking about EPA (enhanced platform awareness) from intel - sriov, numa, extra instructions, etc. - is this automatically included in OPNFV? Does it apply to arm? (joekidder, 14:50:55)
    30. - question is whether we can enable these features in openstack and use them. (joekidder, 14:51:40)
    31. Alex mentioned looking into sdn controllers - open contrail and onos - but hasn't had time to look (joekidder, 14:53:25)
    32. request to community: look into portability of onos and/or open contrail to arm64 and also at architecture support in the respective installer plugins (fuel in particular) (joekidder, 14:54:07)
