OPNFV Lab Infrastructure

The Pharos Project provides a lab infrastructure that is geographically and technically diverse. Labs instantiate bare-metal and virtual environments that are accessed remotely by the community and used for OPNFV platform and feature development, builds, deploys and testing. This will greatly assist in developing a highly robust and stable OPNFV platform with well understood performance characteristics. Community labs are hosted by OPNFV member companies on a voluntary basis. The Linux Foundation also hosts an OPNFV lab that provides centralised CI and other production resources which are linked to community labs.

Future lab capabilities will include the ability easily automate deploy and test of any OPNFV install scenario in any lab environemnt as well as a Virtual Lab for developer on-boarding with minimal effort. PHAROS documents are included with this release.
