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