OPNFV Copper Project¶
1. Introduction¶
Note
This is the working documentation for the VNF Event Stream (VES) project.
The OPNFV VES project aims to develop OPNFV platform support for VNF event streams, in a common model and format intended for use by NFV Service Providers (SPs), e.g. in managing VNF health and lifecycle. The project’s goal is to enable a significant reduction in the effort to develop and integrate VNF telemetry-related data into automated VNF management systems, by promoting convergence toward a common event stream format and collection system.
The documentation provided here focuses on the specific features supported in the Danube release.
