Last week’s launch of OPNFV is a good opportunity to think about a simmering debate in the OpenStack developer community for a while now-what exactly does NFV have to do with OpenStack, and is it a good thing? My own “journey” on this started exactly one year ago today when I visited a local Red Hat partner to talk about OpenStack and, towards the end of our Q&A, I was asked something like “will OpenStack support NFV?” I’d never heard of the term and, when the general idea was explained, I gave a less than coherent version of “OpenStack implements an elastic cloud for cattle ; this sounds like pets. Sorry.”
