Other Observations
- Beth CohenThe hyperscalers are not very friendly about their customers who want to use multiple cloud vendors. That is where the Telcos can really shine. I think that the hyperscalers do NOT want to become regulated entities – so they will shy away from anything that might possibly make them a "utility".
- Bob Monkman Besides offering protection from lock-in, are there other benefits for the customer to have multi cloud service? Some environments may be better for different use cases. Also the geo example Pankaj raises seems sensible
- Beth Cohen Many are using it so they can pick best of breed capabilities. Also geographic diversity. HA reasons also.
- John Hartley Edge is commonly a different platform from the core, so there is a built in motivation to support multi-cloud.
- Hyperscalers do not have the experience of delivering services over a WAN environment.
- Telcos do not have experience on offering cloud? Agree - Disagree? Some of the Telco's attempted to compete with the hyperscalers a few years ago. I think for the most part telcos have gotten out of the business. (Verizon/Terremark)
- NOTE: Key issue is deliberate diversity (lack of harmonization) and hence need for operators to manage this.
- the new sandbox LFN project, EMCO, should be able to provide capabilities in this area in conjunction with Anuket
- XGVELA is focussing on Telco PaaS assuming that Anuket will specify general PaaS services (LB, DB, DNS, etc.)
Other Use Cases
- Special purpose clouds such as Game clouds?
Operator Story: Other Viewpoints
- Should Anuket focus on supporting the telco use of multi-clouds for their own use?
- Support for telco customers to allow them to connect to multi-clouds.
- NOTE: Specific regulatory needs such as: Lawful Intercept (voice) and IP source/dest logging are generic (and not contained to particular local regulation)
What are the Key Industry Drivers?
- Telcos and customers want to remain flexible and use the hyperscalers and their own private clouds as it fits the use cases best.
- would there be use-specific clouds? such as a "Game Cloud"? Other areas?
- what would the reqts for such use-specific clouds be?
-
What are the Challenges for Telcos and HCOs?
- Working together when they have two very different motivations and business drivers
What should Anuket Focus on? Specify?
- Ulrich KleberWhat do we expect from multi-cloud? Management, Interactions to be considered, etc.?

...
- Gergely CsatariHCOs will not standardize and so Vendors have to step into the breach. What role does Anuket play?
- Bob Monkman Anuket could be specifying requirements in multi cloud management, it would seem.
- John HartleyMarket will not deliver a "single pane of glass".
- Pankaj GoyalResource level abstractions and generic operations on them.
- Beth CohenAnuket can provide the requirements for the tools to support multi-cloud environments
- requirements can be used for assurance programs
- Some of the AI work can automate some of these requirements
- Hybrid includes private/on-prem cloud and public clouds working in tandem/co-operatively
- Are there a set (small) of PaaS services that should be included in Anuket reqts? What services? What should be specified about these services? Features, interactions, management, control, ...?
