The Satisfying-Cactus (5.0) release includes R-CORD, E-CORD and M-CORD profiles. Detailed information about these profiles can be found in the Service Profile Guide. The following summarizes the new features.
Added support for dynamically loading new services and service profiles into a running system. R-CORD and E-CORD services converted to use new dynamic loading mechanism, but M-CORD still uses corebuilder.
Refactored build to isolate profile-specific information (e.g., models, TOSCA templates). R-CORD, M-CORD, and E-CORD converted to use refactoring.
Added support for logging and diagnostics. See the Logging and Diagnostics section of the guide for more information.
Added new scenarios to build:
preppedpod: Installs a CORD POD without MaaS on pre-prepared systems, which can run the R-CORD test suite.
controlpod: Installs XOS and ONOS without VNF support. Runs on Ubuntu 16.04 in preparation for updating the entire CORD platform.
controlkube: Preliminary support for running XOS on Kubernetes, in preparation for greater functionality in the next release.
Preliminary integration of Kubernetes into CORD (pre-alpha):
Manages XOS containers
Works with controlkube Scenario
Removed old TOSCA Engine.
Integrated MME/HSS [Beta, undocumented]
Integrated physical eNB
Integreated ProgRAN
