Minutes

Infra Setup:

• Nexus3 and Jenkins (releng and sandbox) are configured for pushing and pulling Docker images.

Docker components:

• @Luis Gomez Palacios Karaf3 static image for Netconf was submitted on Gerrit. This is to dynamically bring up/down components. But this has some limitations that does not make the static image work with docker.

• As of today, the normal distribution is 300Mib, which needs to be packaged in the Docker container.

  • Single Docker: single distribution (with a single docker container) requires a very complex setup since this needs multiple configs on startup for each use case ex: require OpenFlow config uncanned.

  • Multiple dockers image per config is easier to manage, but the downside is we'll have a larger set of docker images to manage.

• The main goal with helm charts is to auto-deploy in K8s. We have a docker that is easy to install with the use case. Helm is required to maintain the life cycle, persistence upgrades, and orchestrate apps in k8s.

• What are the use cases? define them clearly?

  • Netconf use case is something that is required.

  • BGP plugin.

  • transportPCE
