    12. Donald introduced BAMBOO briefly (bh526r, 14:07:11)
    13. It adds an analytics subsystem to a set of OPNFV scenarios as well as provides for an analytics framework to post-process OPNFV test results created by the OPNFV CI/CD pipeline. (bh526r, 14:08:10)
    14. Donald also gives a high level overview of PNDA (bh526r, 14:08:29)
    15. http://pnda.io/ (bh526r, 14:09:07)
    16. It is an open source, big data analytics platform for networks and services (bh526r, 14:09:43)
    17. A high level diagram was introduced (bh526r, 14:11:12)
    18. Ryota Mibu (bh526r, 14:11:20)
    19. Narinder Gupta (bh526r, 14:11:53)
    20. Agnostic of programming language (bh526r, 14:12:30)
    21. Frank added that it consumes data from Barometer and VES etc., processes it and gives analytics result (bh526r, 14:15:48)
    22. Uli asked if it only concentrates on networking data or limited to networking data (bh526r, 14:17:42)
    23. Donald said it is not limiting anyway (bh526r, 14:18:19)
    24. Prakash asked how big is the infrastructure required (bh526r, 14:19:33)
    25. Donald said PNDA has several flavors, it depends on what to achieve (bh526r, 14:19:39)
    26. Tim Irnich (bh526r, 14:21:41)
    27. Frank added that in Phase 1, our test data is limited. Not the big data. So we can go with limited installation. (bh526r, 14:23:33)
    28. when data grows, we can expand (bh526r, 14:24:17)
    29. Donald said to start with small footprint (bh526r, 14:24:24)
    30. Georg asked if it intends to provide analytics APIs so that it can be used as-a-service? (bh526r, 14:30:37)
    31. Donald said it is a useful use case, and can think about it further and add it into scope of project (bh526r, 14:31:04)
    32. Bin suggested 2 steps (1) communicate with dependent projects , especially with test projects, to understand what are the data available; (2) broader community support with more committers and contributors from broader community (bh526r, 14:36:40)
    33. Donald and Frank will communicate and work with test projects, and will have more support from broader community (bh526r, 14:37:24)

  2. New Project Proposal "VINA" (bh526r, 14:37:54)
    1. https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/vina/VINA+Project+Proposal (bh526r, 14:38:03)
    2. The purpose of VINA is to provide visible insights of real time operational state of virtual networks (bh526r, 14:39:40)
    3. The step is monitoring and collecting data of operational state (bh526r, 14:41:43)
    4. The 2nd step is to integrate with BAMBOO to provide analytical result (bh526r, 14:42:20)
    5. Koren also gave examples of what is the "discovery" (bh526r, 14:43:40)
    6. such as OpenStack distribution, version, type driver, mechanism driver, Neutron DB and APIs, etc. (bh526r, 14:45:01)
    7. the "discovery" data and "monitoring" data will be sent to messaging bus for analytics, VINA visualization, and VINA DB inventory (bh526r, 14:47:20)
    8. VINA domain includes VINA APIs and Messaging BUS (bh526r, 14:48:54)
    9. Jack Morgan (bh526r, 14:51:36)
    10. Michael Bugenhagen (bh526r, 14:52:10)
    11. the focus is on visualization (bh526r, 14:55:06)
    12. the user is cloud provider/operations (bh526r, 14:56:36)
    13. topology first then telemetry (bh526r, 14:59:28)
    14. The same next steps to (1) communicate and work with other dependent projects and address overlaps related concerns (2) get broader community support from other companies (bh526r, 15:04:03)
    15. Once those 2 steps are achieved, Frank suggested to bring those 2 project proposals directly for TSC creation review. (bh526r, 15:04:36)
    16. Jack suggested to post the slides to project wiki site. (bh526r, 15:05:20)
    17. Meeting adjourned (bh526r, 15:06:32)
