Deliverables¶
1 Software deliverables¶
- Euphrates 1.0 release of the KVM4NFV RPM and debian for kvm4nfv
- Kernel debug-info rpm and debian is generated as part of E-release
- Integrated the following scenarios in APEX as part of E-Release:
- os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk-noha
- os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk-ha
- Configured influxdb and Graphana_dashboard for publishing kvm4nfv test results
- Packet forwarding test case is implemented and it supports the following test types currently,
- Packet forwarding to Host
- Packet forwarding to Guest
- Packet forwarding to Guest using SRIOV
- Packet forwarding to multiple guests
- Breaktrace option is implemented to monitor the latency values obatined by the cyclictest
- Live Migration test case is implemented and the following values are collected:
- Total time
- Down time
- Setup time
- Either Apex or Fuel can be used for deployment of os-nosdn-kvm-ha, os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk-ha and
os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk-noha scenarios
