  1. About  XGVela

XGVela  is 5G cloud-native open-source framework that introduces Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities for telecom operators.  Main target of it is for delivering common and reusable PaaS capabilities required in the processes of network function development/running, network cloud management/maintenance, network cloud capability exposure and etc., so that applications are lightweight and contain only code to deliver the intended business logic.  Also its management-related Telco PaaS functions implements services, configuration management, fault management, log management, performance management, topology management and high availability for the managed NFs. 

...

Cloud-native infrastructure technology is constantly advancing, with #Kubernetes and other layers as CaaS and PaaS playing a crucial role. While these technologies have made significant progress in meeting the requirements of Telco applications, there are still areas where further evolution is needed. In order to address these gaps, XGVela Complements Sylva for Telco PaaS needs.

XGVela PaaS capabilities for the 5G network :

  • XGVela helps telecom operators to align with fast changes in requirements to build a 5G network driven by cloud-native backhaul. They need faster upgrades to network functions and services along with agility in new service deployments.
  • Telecom operators need to focus more on the microservices driven and containers-based network functions (CNFs) rather than VM based network functions (VNFs). But need to continue to use both concurrently. XGVela can support CNFs and VNFs both in the underlying platform.
  • Telecom operators want to reduce network construction costs by adopting an open and healthy technology ecosystem like ONAP, Kubernetes, OpenDaylight, Akraino, OPNFV, etc. XGVela adopted this to reduce the barriers that bring end-to-end orchestrated 5G telecom networks. 
  • XGVela simplifies the design and innovation of 5G network functions by allowing developers to focus on application development with service logic rather than dealing with underlying complex infrastructure. XGVela provides standard APIs to tie many internal projects.

  1. Next Steps

#ActivityRemarksPriority
1Prepare a Demo to showcase  XGVela deployment along with Sylva on one Cloud Provider/Baremetal, possibly along with sample network function to walkthrough Telco cloud feature set. 

2Identify the integration touch points and its gaps (if any) surfaced as part of demo activity and plan in XGVela Roadmap

3Adoption Layer to General PaaS :  Usage of  Cloud Provider's native observability components  (like AWS cloudwatch etc) for XGVela Telco PaaS layer
