  44 Important Notes
  45 ===============
  46
  47 This is the OPNFV Danube release that implements the deploy stage of the
  48 OPNFV CI pipeline via Apex.
  49
  50 Apex is based on RDO's Triple-O installation tool chain.
  51 More information at http://rdoproject.org
  52
  53 Carefully follow the installation-instructions which guide a user on how to
  54 deploy OPNFV using Apex installer.
  55
  56 Summary
  57 =======
  58
  59 Danube release with the Apex deployment toolchain will establish an OPNFV
  60 target system on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure.  The current definition
  61 of an OPNFV target system is OpenStack Newton combined with an SDN
  62 controller, such as OpenDaylight.  The system is deployed with OpenStack High
  63 Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services.  SDN controllers are deployed
  64 on every controller unless deploying with one the HA FD.IO scenarios.  Ceph
  65 storage is used as Cinder backend, and is the only supported storage for
  66 Danube.  Ceph is setup as 3 OSDs and 3 Monitors, one OSD+Mon per Controller
  67 node in an HA setup.  Apex also supports non-HA deployments, which deploys a
  68 single controller and n number of compute nodes.  Furthermore, Apex is
  69 capable of deploying scenarios in a bare metal or virtual fashion.  Virtual
  70 deployments use multiple VMs on the jump host and internal networking to
  71 simulate the a bare metal deployment.
  72
  73 - Documentation is built by Jenkins
  74 - .iso image is built by Jenkins
  75 - .rpm packages are built by Jenkins
  76 - Jenkins deploys a Danube release with the Apex deployment toolchain
  77   bare metal, which includes 3 control+network nodes, and 2 compute nodes.
