Minutes
Cloud native maturity survey
- Survey process
- Open Questions Jim Baker to respond with email
- What is the returned data? What is the benefit to the operators for sharing this info?
- Would like to review survey prior to participation (at least a summary/outline)
- Timeline of when the survey would be open and when results will be available?
- Containers not exclusively cloud native. Some cloud native apps are not in containers.
- Get this added to the survey - there is a continuum of solutions that could be "cloud native"
- Containers, micro-services, etc.
- "orchestrated containers" are cloud native by some definitions
AI/ML Survey - into a white paper Beth Cohen
- Automation is the major driver for AI/ML - which drives cost out of the operations
- Maturity is very low as the journey is just beginning
- Projected timeline - NOW
- Creating cross-company and cross-silo solutions is an organizational challenge
- Goal: make transport transparent
- Key take away: Keep it simple, capture the low hanging fruit, data lakes are difficult in each of assemble/integrate/secure/privacy
- Eg. Facial recognition thought to be a panacea - training data was biased as are the results
- Scott BlandfordPerhaps a section on cross-vendor collaboration on data-sharing - how do we share data, anonymous, etc.
- Not just the reason on what the roles of AI/ML are in telco but also why we need to work together
- Volunteers needed
- Lei Huang to create workspace in wiki
AI/ML sharing project
- Massimo Banziapproached TelecomItalia staff on the POC
- TM Forum result possible could be shared - need a liaison/MOU between TMForum and LFN for this purpose
- Kenny Paul LFN has a MOU in place with TM Forum - need to investigate
- Beth Cohen reviewed some additional use cases added to the registry: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/JIEZAw
- Follow up - share at LFN TAC
Action items
- Kenny Paul to investigate if existing TM Forum/LFN MOU is sufficient for data sharing on AI/ML
