Epic Template descriptions and documentation

Epic Goal

Provide an alternative to configure-ovs that allows more flexible configuration and is compatible with day 2 modification via kubernetes-nmstate.

This epic is just to document the fact that we will need to work with the SDN team to figure out how this all needs to work. We do not currently anticipate needing any implementation work for this.

Why is this important?

Customers want to use kubernetes-nmstate for their day 2 network configuration, but this conflicts with configure-ovs. Allowing them to configure br-ex with NMState on day 1 will allow them to use the same configuration tool for all host network configuration.

Planning Done Checklist

The following items must be completed on the Epic prior to moving the Epic from Planning to the ToDo status

• Priority+ is set by engineering
• Epic must be Linked to a +Parent Feature
• Target version+ must be set
• Assignee+ must be set
• (Enhancement Proposal is Implementable
• (No outstanding questions about major work breakdown
• (Are all Stakeholders known? Have they all been notified about this item?
• Does this epic affect SD? {}Have they been notified{+}? (View plan definition for current suggested assignee)
  1. Please use the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox to facilitate the conversation with SD Architects. The SD architecture team monitors this checkbox which should then spur the conversation between SD and epic stakeholders. Once the conversation has occurred, uncheck the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox and record the outcome of the discussion in the epic description here.
  2. The guidance here is that unless it is very clear that your epic doesn’t have any managed services impact, default to use the Discussion Needed checkbox to facilitate that conversation.

Additional information on each of the above items can be found here: Networking Definition of Planned
