The following features have not been verified as of this release:

  • HA deployment: Congress should be installed in OPNFV deployments in a non-HA mode, including in HA deployment scenarios. Basic HA support has been implemented for Congress (see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/congress/index.html), but this feature has not yet been verified on the OPNFV platform.
  • Horizon plugin: The Congress OpenStack Dashboard plugin (a “Policy tab”) has not been deployed in OPNFV as of this release. Installing the needed Congress Dashboard plugin files on the OpenStack Dashboard host is a future work item.
