Abstract
========
-This document compiles the release notes for the Brahmaputra release of
-OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool.
+This document compiles the release notes for the Brahmaputra 3.0 release of
+OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, with an AArch64 (only) target
+node pool.
Important notes
===============
-These notes provides release information for the use of Fuel as deployment
-tool for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV.
+These notes provide release information for the use of Fuel as deployment
+tool for the AArch64 Brahmaputra 3.0 release of OPNFV.
The goal of the Brahmaputra release and this Fuel-based deployment process is
to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
-of the OPNFV infrastructure.
+of the OPNFV infrastructure on AArch64 architecture.
-Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 13*.
+Due to early docker and nodejs support on AArch64, we will still use an
+x86_64 Fuel Master to build and deploy an AArch64 target pool.
+
+Although not currently supported, mixing x86_64 and AArch64 architectures
+inside the target pool will be possible later.
+
+Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 16*.
