OPNFV Summit 2015

OPNFV set out to perform systems integration as an open community effort. Systems integration for NFV not only translates to a continuous composition and test effort, but also commonly requires custom feature extensions and additions. While system integration means “choosing”, open source projects typically “create choice” – where the created merit determines success or failure in the market.
This presentation explores how OPNFV is composed out of many components. We’ll take a look at the “engine room” of OPNFV and see how the OPNFV community combines “choosing” and “choice”. By reviewing the current status, we’ll address how the platform composition was done for the 1st release, how things evolve towards the 2nd release, as well as how users can not only use OPNFV but also impact and influence OPNFV’s direction moving forward. And yes, we’ll share some of the fun, joy, and pitfalls.
