<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Thanks Uli!<br><br></div>Based on the NFV session we had at the recent NYC ops meetup, I think that some openstack operators aren't sure what NFV is, and maybe don't know about the OPNFV project. That said, NFV is hard to define because it's a broad term.<br><br></div>One thing I can say for sure is that many of the requirements that the telecom industry has for running workloads on openstack clouds are, in general, similar to requirements many openstack operators have, from performance, to networking, to monitoring, to managing uptime of the "data plane" (ie. virtual machines), etc. Ok, so maybe not everyone needs to run an occasional instance on real time KVM, but otherwise, IMHO, quite similar.<br><br></div>A quick read through the OPNFV project list [1] might show some interesting work that could be useful to any openstack operator. :)<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Curtis.<br><br>[1]: <a href="https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/PROJ/Full+Project+List" target="_blank">https://wiki.opnfv.org/display<wbr>/PROJ/Full+Project+List</a><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 8:17 AM, Ulrich Kleber <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Ulrich.Kleber@huawei.com" target="_blank">Ulrich.Kleber@huawei.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">

<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t see an official announcement, so I like to point you to the new release of OPNFV.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.opnfv.org/news-faq/press-release/2016/09/open-source-nfv-project-delivers-third-platform-release-introduces-0" target="_blank">https://www.opnfv.org/news-faq<wbr>/press-release/2016/09/open-so<wbr>urce-nfv-project-delivers-thir<wbr>d-platform-release-introduces-<wbr>0</a>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OPNFV is an open source project and one of the most important users of OpenStack in the Telecom/NFV area. Maybe it is interesting for your work.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Feel free to contact me or meet during the Barcelona summit at the session of the OpenStack Operators Telecom/NFV Functional Team (<a href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/summit-schedule/events/16768/openstack-operators-telecomnfv-functional-team" target="_blank">https://www.openstack.org/sum<wbr>mit/barcelona-2016/summit-sche<wbr>dule/events/16768/openstack-op<wbr>erators-telecomnfv-functional-<wbr>team</a>).<u></u><u></u></p>
