D3.7: FLAME technology roadmap V2

This report is the second technology roadmap for a ground-breaking media service delivery platform being developed by the FLAME project. The report describes the software products to be delivered at infrastructure, platform and media service layers and how combinations of products are used to exploit the benefits of highly distributed software-defined infrastructures. Each product is described in terms of features, baseline implementation technologies and release schedule. At the core of the roadmap is the FLAME platform that brings together components for orchestration, Service Function Routing, Service Function endpoint management and cross-layer management and control. A systems integration and testing plan describes the DevOps environment including multi-project structure, development workflows and continuous integration processes supported by build, provisioning, configuration and automated testing tools. A software integration infrastructure is designed that replicates a part of the production infrastructures in ways that allow flexible configuration of different cross-component test scenarios. Finally, the downstream staging and production infrastructures are summarised completing the end-to-end DevOps pipeline for efficient and high-quality delivery.
