13:12:45 <bh526r> #info Sunko described the background, and the initial discussion in OPNFV Develoepr Gathering on April 2
13:13:17 <bh526r> #info Sunko introduced use case and how current OPNFV projects are related
13:14:12 <bh526r> #info e.g. Doctor, NFV Bench, Barometer etc.
13:14:28 <bh526r> #info The question was whether or not we need a new project
13:15:19 <bh526r> #info The outcome from discussion in meetup was that we may need a new WG
13:16:16 <bh526r> #info Sunku is asking for the feedback from community
13:17:30 <bh526r> #info Mark B posted comments in chat "Shameless plug for StorPerf here: OPNFV also has that project for doing storage capacity and optimization.  Can do things like measure the impact of Barbican for software encryption, etc."
13:18:05 <bh526r> #info Al M echoed "Yes, exactly - Storperf should be included here"
13:18:53 <bh526r> #info Mark B further indicated "We also should note performance tools like VSPERF and StorPerf should not be used when live traffic is also running as these tools can flood the system and cause degradation of live traffic. Or, used with caution or only for path verification"
13:19:52 <bh526r> #info Al M indicated "I see some synergy with O-RAN. They have the Near-RT and non-RT loops Identified in their API framework. Establishing the Control Loop is possible, but designing and applying a specific policy in the loop that is not just a simplistic example is HARD, IMO. "
13:26:24 <bh526r> #info Trevor Cooper
13:28:02 <bh526r> #info Al Morton indicated that the challenge is when policy is beyond the simplistic examples.
13:34:42 <bh526r> #info Al asked if there is reason why OpenStack is pushing back
13:36:26 <bh526r> #info Sunku explained that Nova assigns resources when it starts a VM. They think Nova should control resource assignment, and thus the local agent seems extension of Nova.
13:39:56 <bh526r> #info Community doesn't understand the need of this  closed-loop use case
13:55:56 <bh526r> #info Bin asked what is the execution plan, i.e. implement in own repo or coordinate with testing projects and implement it in their repos
13:56:50 <bh526r> #info Sunku said that eventually it needs own repo for analytics, but start with working with Doctor, Barometer, Bottleneck etc. projects
13:58:17 <bh526r> #info Sunku will draft a formal proposal in wiki for this WG by working with Doctor, Bottleneck, Barometer etc. projects.
13:58:42 <bh526r> #info Once the WG proposal is ready, Sunku will bring it to weekly technical discussion again.
13:59:06 <bh526r> #info Then it will be brought to TSC for approval.

13:59:28 <bh526r> #info Al asked what is the plan for PlugFest in June
14:01:00 <bh526r> #info Bin shared that Intel has expressed their support of hosting a low-cost OPNFV PlugFest+ONAP DDF in the week of June 10.
14:01:19 <bh526r> #info Bin has asked LFN (Phil Robb), but never got response
14:02:30 <bh526r> #info Intel followed up with Phil Robb in ONS, and the response was that LFN is now trying to find a location which is non US or China because of geo-political conditions, hence the Intel SC location might not be a good fit for the ONAP DDF + OPNFV PlugFest.
14:03:43 <bh526r> #info There is no more information from LFN regarding OPNFV PlugFest+ONAP DDF, while it is only 7 weeks away from the planned date (the week of June 10)
14:04:12 <bh526r> #info No other questions, meeting adjourned
