13:06:05 <bh526r> #info Uli started with the deployment options
13:06:42 <bh526r> #info in sdf-template.yaml
13:11:42 <bh526r> #info Uli went over all details of attributes
13:13:23 <bh526r> #info Narinder Gupta
13:13:57 <bh526r> #info We have Apex and Joid represented here
13:14:09 <bh526r> #info But we are missing Fuel and Compass
13:15:00 <bh526r> #info Dan Radez asked if it is driving CI runs
13:15:39 <bh526r> #info Uli said yes it is driving CI runs
13:17:16 <bh526r> #info Dan concerned it becomes a quite verbose file, and hard to consume
13:18:15 <bh526r> #info Uli explained that scenario owner of feature project can create this file, and provide necessary information to installer team.
13:18:35 <bh526r> #info Different installer team can use the same file for the same scenario
13:18:46 <bh526r> #info So all the installers can use it
13:19:36 <bh526r> #info Dan wants to see a practical execution so as to thoroughly understand the benefits
13:20:05 <bh526r> #info Dan further asks what is the control file
13:20:23 <bh526r> #info Uli explained that the setting file is the control file
13:21:05 <bh526r> #info Uli shared a comparison table of different installers and their setting files for each scenario
13:23:49 <bh526r> #info Uli and Dan discussed an example of BGPVPN scenario
13:24:15 <bh526r> #info the same scenario across installers
13:26:58 <bh526r> #info Dan sees it is beneficial to CI, but not to end users
13:28:49 <bh526r> #info Uli says it is beneficial to end users too, and gives an example of lab owner with 10 nodes, and tries to deploy different scenarios on different sets of nodes
13:29:27 <bh526r> #info Jack Morgan suggests a different method, i.e. manual deployment which is easier than using CI
13:30:51 <jmorgan1> bh526r: not different, an additional use case - manual deployment vis PDF,SDF
13:30:59 <jmorgan1> via
13:31:27 <bh526r> ok, got it
13:32:04 <jmorgan1> manual deployment via a shell script that uses PDF, SDF
13:44:25 <bh526r> #info Uli expects the time frame is the F release to complete the switch
13:45:08 <bh526r> #info Uli asks installer team to start to use it in E release. We can provide translation tool
13:59:02 <jmorgan1> added to Plugfest topic agenda: https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7769978
14:01:37 <bh526r> #info Uli got great feedback, and SDF looks consumable and a good starting point, and welcome more comments
14:02:37 <bh526r> #info Let's continue to discuss it next week, even if Uli may not have time to have detailed workflow
14:04:08 <bh526r> #info Prakash wants to discuss MANO Build and Test on Thursday next week
