  13 Introduction
  14 ------------
  15
  16 The `Pharos Project <https://www.opnfv.org/developers/pharos>`_ deals with developing an OPNFV lab
  17 infrastructure that is geographically and technically diverse.  This will greatly assist in
  18 developing a highly robust and stable OPNFV platform. Community labs are hosted by individual
  19 companies and there is also an OPNFV lab hosted by the Linux Foundation that has controlled access
  20 for key development and production activities. The **Pharos Specification** defines a "compliant"
  21 deployment and test environment. Pharos is responsible for defining lab capabilities, developing
  22 management/usage policies and process; and a support plan for reliable access to project and release
  23 resources. Community labs are provided as a service by companies and are not controlled by Pharos
  24 however our goal is to provide easy visibility of all lab capabilities and their usage at all-times.
  25
  26 A requirement of Pharos labs is to provide *bare-metal* for development, deployment and testing.
  27 This is resource intensive from a hardware and support perspective while providing remote access can
  28 also be very challenging due to corporate IT policies. Achieving a consistent *look and feel* of a
  29 federated lab infrastructure continues to be an objective. Virtual environments are also useful and
  30 provided by some labs. Jira is currently used for tracking lab operational issues as well as for
  31 Pharos project activities.
  32
  33 Future lab capabilities are currently focussed on 1) Deployment automation 2) Dashboards (for
  34 capability and usage) 3) *Virtual Labs* for developer on-boarding.
