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