Towards Arno

Early Days

• Different views

• Many upstream projects

• Good ideas but still quite complicated

Automation and Continuous Integration

• Jenkins jobs were already there!

• Jobs were doing stuff…

• Late to the party?

Arno

How did we start?

11/11/2015 Diary of an Infra Guy 9

What did we do in Prague?

• Discussed how to bring something up and quick

• Some projects took the lead

– BGS – Octopus – Functest – Pharos

CI First Steps

• CI put requirements on BGS

• Do the upstream integration yourselves

• Provide simple scripts for us

Bringing up the CI

• Got HW resources

– Server from Ericsson Montreal Lab => builds – LF PODs became operational => bare metal deployment

• Created real Jenkins jobs

• Integrated testing into CI using Functest scripts

– Tempest/Rally – Robot – vPing

CI Setup for Arno

• Project CI

– Project specific verify, merge, and daily jobs – Project CI != part of OPNFV Platform CI

• OPNFV Platform CI

– Jobs from different projects tied together to do build, installation, and testing, creating CI loops

What else?

• Using OpenStack Infra Utilities, JJB

• We also “Swim Upstream”

• Fixed upstream first!

Arno

• R1 released on June 4th

• SR1 released on October 1st

Automation and CI Next Steps

• Increased automation & CI coverage

• Produce & integrate artifacts

• Automate resource/lab handling

• Continue working upstream

11/11/2015 Diary of an Infra Guy 20

What else?

• Work closer with upstream projects

– OpenDaylight – OpenStack

• Involve more OPNFV folks in automation/CI

– About 10 contributors for Arno – Now 20+ contributors and still increasing
