        NFV Manager
        ===========
        
        The SoftFIRE NFV Manager is one of the managers in the SoftFIRE
        middleware. It is responsible for handling Network Function
        Virtualization (NFV) resources used by experimenters. It interfaces with
        Open Baton for this purpose. It is also in charge of triggering the
        creation and removal of users and projects in Open Baton and OpenStack.
        
        The figure below depicts the workflow of the NFV Manager.

        For more information on how to use the NFV resources visit the
        `documentation`_.
        
        Technical Requirements
        ----------------------
        
        The NFV Manager requires Python 3.5 or higher.
        
        Installation and configuration
        ------------------------------
        
        You can install the NFV Manager using pip:
        
        ::
        
            pip install nfv-manager
        
        and then start it with the ``nfv-manager`` command.
        
        Or you can run it from source code by cloning the git repository,
        installing the dependencies as specified in the `setup.py`_ file and
        executing the *nfv-manager* script.
        
        The NFV Manager needs a configuration file present at
        */etc/softfire/nfv-manager.ini*. An example of the configuration file
        can be found `here`_.

        What is SoftFIRE?
        =================
        
        SoftFIRE provides a set of technologies for building a federated
        experimental platform aimed at the construction and experimentation of
        services and functionalities built on top of NFV and SDN technologies.
        The platform is a loose federation of already existing testbed owned and
        operated by distinct organizations for purposes of research and
        development.
        
        SoftFIRE has three main objectives: supporting interoperability,
        programming and security of the federated testbed. Supporting the
        programmability of the platform is then a major goal and it is the focus
        of the SoftFIRE’s Second Open Call.
