• 4 repo's are currently missing:

§ https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-bgpvpn

§ https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-sfc

§ https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-networking-odl

§ https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-ryu

· Adding Co-Authored-By on reviews -- email sent to Forrest

• Reviewed the process with team and agreed to start adding WR co-authors for the neutron 

• Recommended Process

§ The Intel prime looks up the original author in the WR patch

· Ghada can help identify authors when needed

§ The Intel prime adds the original author as a co-author in the gerrit review

· Co-Authored-By: Name <email-address>

§ The Intel prime also adds the original author and Matt Peters as a review of the gerrit review

· Containerized Openstack

• Specs are in progress: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/projects:openstack/stx-specs

• Storyboard Container Stories: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/search?tags=stx.containers

• Joseph Richard (WR) is currently working on neutron helm chart overrides

§ Chart Override Spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/609849/

§ Once the neutron code is ready, we will add Ruijing to the gerrit review

• There is currently no plan for ovs-dpdk to be running in a container

§ Rationale for deferring:

· Kubernetes / Docker does not currently handle several host level properties / resources that are required for DPDK based applications:

o Hugepages - actively being worked in the K8S community

o CPU Isolation and Pinning - isolcpus is a kernel level option that isn't exposed to individual containers

o Device Plugins - NIC resource assignments to Pods - currently depends on SRIOV PF CNI

o NUMA topology - NIC and CPU awareness for Pod scheduling

o Kernel Modules - Generally kernel module loading, but also specifically VFIO and IOMMU support

• No other immediate networking work items are needed. Ghada to keep the team in the loop on what is happening with respect to networking.
