Description

Honeycomb-vpp is building on top of existing, generic Honeycomb infrastructure to build a set of plugins to provide a standalone management agent for VPP. Originally part of Honeycomb codebase, now seeking a dedicated project in order to:

• Separate the VPP specific and Generic parts of Honeycomb
  • Leaving Honeycomb project as a generic platform for building management agents
  • Enabling the 2 projects to grow and reach maturity at different pace
• Enable easier community involvement
  • The honeycomb-vpp project is of bigger value and interest to fd.io community, requiring more participants and possibly different committers with different skills than honeycomb project itself

Initially, these parts of honeycomb codebase would be contributed:

• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/v3po
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/lisp
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/nsh
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/nat
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/packaging
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/vpp-common
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/vpp-integration

These parts will have to be split:

• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/samples
• https://git.fd.io/cgit/honeycomb/tree/release-notes

Approving this project will require scope redefinition for honeycomb project in order to remove VPP related items from it.

Scope

• Translation code for Honeycomb agent:
  • To manage VPP core APIs
  • To manage VPP core plugins
  • To manage any other VPP plugins
• Distribution
  • Primary, but extensible, honeycomb-vpp distribution
• Packaging
  • Packaging of honeycomb-vpp for various packaging systems (deb, rpm required)
