Hi all, Here is a summary of Tacker team's two days discussion during vPTG 2024.2[1]. # Revise FTs We've tried to revise functional tests on zuul for the latest cycles to reduce the burden of rechecks for unexpected failures which are sometimes happened especially at the end of the cycles. We have several targets for the revise, such as clean dir structure, reduce the amount of test scenarios or so, and share the status of each tasks. # Progress report for Legacy API deprecating/obsoleting Done dropping all the regacy codes from tacker and its client, but still remained in tacker-horizon. We're going to complete this task in this release. # Opentelemetry plugin Support for opentelemetry's observability was proposed in Caracal, but couldn't be finished because of some more higher priority tasks. We've agreed to change the plan to release the feature is this release. # Support devstack install for Cilium as a CNI of Kubernetes VIM We released a sample VNF package using Cilium CNI for demonstrating VNF applications can communicate via Cilium's high performance connectivity for considering vRAN usecases. # Demonstration for tacker-horizon NFV Orchestration API v2.0 Shared the latest GUI support of tacker-horizon for managing NFV orchestration via ETSI SOL v2.0 APIs. # TOSCA 1.3 support Tacker supports TOSCA as a VNF descriptor defined in OASIS standards[2], but the latest version in the support is TOSCA 1.2. Although there are two choices for us for newer ones, 1.3 or 2.x, we've agree to introduce 1.3 which is considered as the most active version currently and shared the implementation plan in this release. # Proposal for adding Tacker installation with openstack-helm in offical OpenStack-helm document We added tacker support in openstack-helm without documentation in the previous cycle. So, we'll complete the remained task in Dalmatian. # Fix schema definition error of TST 2.6.1 repository TST is an ETSI compliance test suites and each of its versions is compatible with SOL specification's as a maintenance policy in the community. We're going to complete to implement TST 2.6.1. The problem is that there is unexpected data field `virtualLinkDescId` in TST is incompatible with SOL standards. It should be in TST while keeping the versions. We'll propose the issue and fix to the standards. # Performance improvement of "list" APIs There is a performance issue in APIs for retrieving entries from a user feedback and it can be a problem especially in commercial usecases managing large amount of objects. There are several possibility of the performance issue such as lack of database optimization or implementation design is not still well considered. For the issue, we've started to figure out the cause of the issue from some more detailed experimentation.
