Doctor Overview

• Goal

– Build fault management and maintenance framework

• Approach

– Identify requirement– Gap Analysis– Implementation work in Upstream (OpenStack)– Integration and testing

• Status

– Initial Requirement study, architecture design, Gap analysis : Done– Collaborative Development: On-going (3 merged Blueprints in

OpenStack Liberty)– Standardization Sync: On-going (by NFV member efforts, joint meeting)

Assumption of VNF (NFV Application)

• Telco Applications basically deployed in active-standby or active-active fashion

Machine Machine

App and App Manager

(VNFM) cannot detect HW

failures directly

App state will be switched when failure

occurred
