Pharos ComplianceΒΆ
The Pharos Specification defines a hardware environment for deployment and testing of the Brahmaputra platform release. The Pharos Project is also responsible for defining lab capabilities, developing management/usage policies and process; and a support plan for reliable access to project and release resources. Community labs are provided as a service by companies and are not controlled by Pharos however our objective is to provide easy visibility of all lab capabilities and their usage at all-times.
Pharos lab infrastructure has the following objectives: - Provides secure, scalable, standard and HA environments for feature development - Supports the full Brahmaputra deployment lifecycle (this requires a bare-metal environment) - Supports functional and performance testing of the Brahmaputra release - Provides mechanisms and procedures for secure remote access to Pharos compliant environments for
OPNFV community
Deploying Brahmaputra in a Virtualized environment is possible and will be useful, however it does not provide a fully featured deployment and realistic test environment for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV.
The high level architecture is outlined in the following diagram:
