 So hi, I'm Chris Price, chair of the technical committee for the OPNFV project. Hi, thank you for joining Superuser TV today. So Chris, what is OPNFV? So OPNFV is a collaborative development project. We work within the Linux Foundation and we're really aimed at trying to put together a reference implementation of an open source cloud platform. So basically all the pieces coming together, deploying onto bare metal and establishing a scalable cloud platform. Four telecom operators, vendors, network centric type workloads to really test and sort of air out how those types of workloads work in a cloud environment. And create an environment where we can get together, work together and address the use cases and needs effectively. I understand the next release coming out is Brahmaputra. Can you give a little sneak preview of what the community can expect in that release? Yeah, so Brahmaputra is our second release. It follows from our first release, Arno, we're named after Rivers. Arno being our first release was very foundational. We kept the scope very small. We just got the platform, we built our CI CD pipeline, set up our global infrastructure of labs. Brahmaputra is the first release where we kind of open the doors to different projects doing, you know, multi-site data center, different fault management, upgrade ability, these types of things. So you see a lot more features coming through, a lot more documentation of how to work with the platform. Much better, easier deploy solutions. We have, you know, fuel-based deployment, triple O-based deployment, foreman-based deployment. You have different ways of getting that platform out there. And hopefully more features and more projects delivering into it. So how closely is OPNFE tied with OpenStack software? Quite tightly. We don't dictate from an OPNFE perspective how you manage workloads. However, all of our workload management is based on OpenStack at the moment. So we're really tightly coupled to OpenStack. We follow the community closely. We try and incorporate the new features coming out of OpenStack. Some of the things we want to achieve we find are already being addressed by the OpenStack community. And for us it's great just to be able to consume that, work with that and then feed back to the community and try to bring that back in. So we're really tightly coupled in with what's going on in OpenStack here. And do you have any advice for operators, as you mentioned, Arno's current release that want to deploy Arno? So Arno being our foundational release, we kind of called it our development release because it was getting things together so that we can start to iterate and improve. So deploying Arno, we now have a stable release one-out for Arno. That includes nested virtualization deployments of the platform. But the best way to engage with Arno is to just grab it, try and deploy it and work with the community. We want people to pick up Arno and tell us where it can be improved. So it's that first stepping stone to get involved. What we'll find in Brahmaputra is hopefully it's easier to do that, easier to get it deployed and better feature capabilities. But take it, download it, run with it and then tell us on the community how you think. So what is the best way to participate and engage with the OPNFV community? There's a number of ways to engage. Membership, of course, is one way. But there is no need to be membership, we're a completely open activity. We have mailing lists, we have Wiki pages, we have user groups that you can engage with. You can basically come, download the platform and send the mail to OPNFV users and people will respond. Generally we have within 24 hours you get a response. And if you're having trouble, someone will help you. If you're having trouble getting the deploy out there, they'll walk you through the process and really get you involved. So being involved with the community as a user, just grab it and run with it. As a developer, come with an idea. We have a number of projects, we have 38 projects running at the moment, all addressing different areas and aspects of platform operations and maintenance. Just show up, ask questions and we'll find someone to help you work with this. Thank you so much. I look forward to working with the OPNFV community in the future. Thank you.
