  45 Brahmaputra release with the Apex deployment toolchain will establish an OPNFV target system
  46 on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure.  The current definition of an OPNFV target system
  47 is and OpenStack Liberty combined with OpenDaylight Beryllium.  The system is deployed with
  48 OpenStack High Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services.  OpenDaylight is deployed in
  49 non-HA form as HA support is not availble for OpenDaylight at the time of the Brahmaputra
  50 release.  Ceph storage is used as Cinder backend, and is the only supported storage for
  51 Brahmaputra. Ceph is setup as 3 OSDs and 3 Monitors, one OSD+Mon per Controller node.
