Preface

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the foundation to build a private or public cloud on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It offers a massively scalable, fault-tolerant platform for the development of cloud-enabled workloads.

This guide describes the steps to plan and configure single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) and Open vSwitch (OVS) with Data Plane Development Kit (OVS-DPDK) using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform director for network functions virtualization (NFV) deployments.
