OPNFV Summit 2015

While OpenStack is a competitive candidate for VIM, existing IaaS service oriented NBI leaves a lot of detailed work for the upper layer applications (e.g. orchestrator).

MOVIE project in OPNFV is to provide a more abstract VIM NBI alternative by extending the general cloud platform to simplify the orchestrator and VNF manager, and make it easy for resource access, connection generation, flow identification, policy operation, etc. This higher level abstraction gives the upper layer applications another option in addition to the combination of openstack existing interfaces and extentions developed by other OPNFV projects.Service Chaining is one of the most important use cases in OPNFV. We will also take this as an example to show how the intent driven interface can simplify the deployment and reduce the OPEX.
