Tacker - OpenStack NFV Orchestration

Tacker is an official OpenStack project building a Generic VIM Manager (VIMM) and a NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) to deploy and operate Network Services and Virtual Network Functions (VIMs) on an NFV infrastructure platform like OpenStack. It is based on ETSI MANO Architectural Framework and provides a functional stack to Orchestrate Network Services end-to-end using VIMs.

NFVO:

• Templatized end-to-end Network Service deployment using decomposed VIMs.
• VIM placement policy – ensure efficient placement of VIMs.
• VIMs connected using an SFC - described in a VIM Forwarding Graph Descriptor.
• VIM Resource Checks and Resource Allocation.
• Ability to orchestrate VIMs across Multiple VIMs and Multiple Sites (POPs).
