Project Tacker Open Platform for NFV Orchestration OPNFV Design Summit

What is Open. Stack Tacker? Tacker is an official Open. Stack project building NFV Orchestrator and Generic VNF Manager using standards based architectures

Open. Stack Tacker Project Overview • Started on NFV Orchestration early 2015 • Announced in Open. Stack Vancouver Summit – May, 2015 • First release in Kilo with Basic VNF life-cycle management • Second release in Liberty with Monitoring Framework • Accepted into Open. Stack Big-Tent in March, 2016 • Diverse community with six core team members • Third release – part of official Open. Stack Mitaka release, http: //releases. openstack. org/mitaka/index. html Tacker – Open NFV Orchestration, Thursday : 3: 30 pm @ Potsdam I/II

Multi. Site - multiple Open. Stack Versions Tacker Site 1 – (Open. Stack controller) Kilo • • • Site 2 (Open. Stack Controller) Liberty Site 3 (Open. Stack Controller) Mitaka Operators have multiple Open. Stack VIMs with different Open. Stack versions Detect Key. Stone and HOT version and translate accordingly Gracefully downgrade resource requests on older VIMs

Multiple VIM types … coming soon Tacker Site 1 – Open. Stack • Site 2 VMware Site 3 AWS Site 4 Custom Support more Infra Drivers to orchestrate on VMware, public clouds like AWS and even Custom VIM types
