Apache CloudStack for NFV - IP Multimedia Subsystem (ACEN - IMS)

This repository provides orchestration templates and deployment scripts for automated deployment of Project Clearwater on CloudStack.

Repository structure:

• ./HEAT contains Heat orchestration templates (HOT) for Clearwater orchestration using OpenStack Heat.
• ./Hurtle contains Hurtle service manager & service orchestrator for Clearwater orchestration using Hurtle.
• ./cloudify contains blueprints for Clearwater orchestration using Cloudify.

Although this work focuses on CloudStack deployments, the ./HEAT directory also contains an OpenStack version of the orchestration templates.

As Heat (and Hurtle) natively doesn't support orchestration on CloudStack deployments, it is necessary to setup CloudStack Heat plugin to add CloudStack resources.
