The ability to monitor the Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) where VNFs are in operation will be a key part of Service Assurance within an NFV environment. The relevant events and metrics must be reported to higher level fault management systems, to detect violations, as well as faults or degradation in the performance of NFVI resources. If fixed function appliances are going to be replaced by virtualized appliances the service levels, manageability and service assurance needs to remain consistent or improve on what is available today. One specific use case that needs to be supported in NFV deployments is the ability to detect and correct noisy neighbor co-tenants.
This demo will show how Intel Resource Director Technology can be used in conjunction with Vitrage (the Root Cause Analysis service in OpenStack) to detect and correct a noisy neighbor, as a result of collaboration with the Barometer (NFVI Service Assurance) project in OPNFV.
The demo will show 2 scenarios:
- Collectd taking the corrective action to show how fast the corrective action takes place.
- Collectd relaying the notifications to Vitrage to take corrective action when a threshold is exceeded.
