Airship

A collection of inter-operable and loosely coupled open source tools that provide automated cloud provisioning and management in a declarative way.  

Airship helps operators take control of their infrastructure, by providing a declarative framework for defining and managing the life cycle of open infrastructure tools and the hardware below. These tools include OpenStack for Virtual Machines, Kubernetes for container orchestration, and MaaS for bare metal, with support for OpenStack Ironic on the way.

Nexus 3 supports both repositories and containers. It is integrated with Jenkins, publishing both artifacts and Docker containers. The Maven build uses Nexus 3 as a proxy repository for third party libraries. Afterward, built and packaged artifacts are posted in the Nexus release repository for downloading.

ONAP

Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP), a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions.

Open vSwitch with Data Plane Development Kit (OVS-DPDK), a high performance open source virtual switch.

Open vSwitch is a multi-layer virtual switch licensed under the open source Apache* 2.0 license. It supports SDN control semantics via the OpenFlow* protocol and its OVSDB management interface. It is available from openvswitch.org, GitHub, and is also consumable through Linux distributions. DPDK is a set of user space libraries that enable a user to create optimized performant packet processing applications (information available at DPDK.org). In practice, it offers a series of Poll Mode Drivers (PMDs), which enable direct transferral of packets between user space and the physical interface, bypassing the kernel network stack.

PINC

Platform for Intelligent Network Control (PINC), provides the ecosystem for Network Fabric Configuration Automation.

Features:

• Powered by SDN-F, that uses the ECOM SDN-Controller base
• Uses a model based configuration paradigm and reverse mapping methodologies to insulate the service from device specifics

PINC handles fabric configuration by compartmentalizing the configuration application into the following stages:
