NFV is moving from concept to reality and Openstack is a leading platform of choice for deploying NFV solutions. While there has been a lot of focus on building capabilities in openstack to enable it as the VIM, it is also possible to build enablers for key features like Service Orchestration, Lifecycle management, Diagnostic and fault monitoring capabilities and Service Chaining as apps on the Openstack platform.
In this session we will present the end-to-end deployment,service chaining, configuration, life-cycle management and diagnostic capabilities in an NFV scenario as Openstack Apps for an Openstack based NFVI. We will also share the key learnings that we have gained as part of this exercise.
