(c) Jonas Bjurel (Ericsson AB) and others Abstract ======== This document compiles the release notes for the Colorado 1.0 release of OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool, with an AArch64 (only) target node pool. Important notes =============== These notes provide release information for the use of Fuel as deployment tool for the AArch64 Colorado 1.0 release of OPNFV. The goal of the Colorado release and this Fuel-based deployment process is to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development of the OPNFV infrastructure on AArch64 architecture. 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 13*. Summary ======= For AArch64 Colorado, the typical use of Fuel as an OpenStack installer is supplemented with OPNFV unique components such as: - `OpenDaylight `_ version "Berylium SR3" - `Open vSwitch for NFV `_ - `VSPERF `_ The following OPNFV plugins are not yet ported for AArch64: - `ONOS `_ version "Drake" - `Service function chaining `_ - `SDN distributed routing and VPN `_ - `NFV Hypervisors-KVM `_ As well as OPNFV-unique configurations of the Hardware- and Software stack. This Colorado artifact provides Fuel as the deployment stage tool in the OPNFV CI pipeline including: - Documentation built by Jenkins - overall OPNFV documentation - this document (release notes) - installation instructions - build-instructions - The Colorado Fuel installer image for AArch64 (.iso) built by Jenkins - Automated deployment of Colorado with running on bare metal or a nested hypervisor environment (KVM) - Automated validation of the Colorado deployment Release Data ============ +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | **Project** | fuel | | | | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | **Repo/tag** | colorado.1.0 | | | | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | **Release designation** | Colorado 1.0 | | | | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | **Release date** | Sep 22 2016 | | | | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | **Purpose of the delivery** | Colorado alignment to Released | | | Fuel 9.0 baseline + Bug-fixes for | | | the following feaures/scenarios: | | | - Added AArch64 target support | | | - OpenDaylight SR3 | | | | +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ Version change -------------- Module version changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the first AArch64 release for Colorado 1.0.
