2.1. Pharos ComplianceΒΆ
The Pharos Specification defines a hardware environment for deployment and testing of the OPNFV platform release.
Pharos lab infrastructure has the following objectives:
- Provides secure, scalable, standard and HA environments for feature development
- Supports the full Euphrates deployment lifecycle (this requires a bare-metal environment)
- Supports functional and performance testing of the Euphrates release
- Provides mechanisms and procedures for secure remote access to Pharos compliant environments for OPNFV community
Deploying Euphrates in a Virtualized environment is possible and will be useful, however it does not provide a fully featured deployment and realistic test environment for the Euphrates release of OPNFV.
The high level architecture is outlined in the following diagram:
