To address these needs, the OPNFV community began work in 2017 on a Virtual Central Office demo (VCO 1.0) to show demonstrate the interoperability of virtual components of a virtualized central office use case for NFV/SDN. This demo was shown as a keynote at the OPNFV Summit in Beijing, China, 2017. The demo has gone through several iterations, including VCO 2.0, shown as a keynote at ONS and OCP Summit in Amsterdam, a VCO 3.0 5G Cloud Native Network demo shown as a keynote at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in San Diego, and finally a 5G Cloud Native Network with ONAP integration shown virtually as a keynote at ONES in 2020 (demo begins at 29:50). Over the last 4 years, over 100 volunteers across 5 open source communities, 20 partner companies, and 2 two end users have collaborated to build this Proof of Concept.
During the Open Networking & Edge Executive Forum (ONEEF), it was announced that LF Networking is pulling together and End-to-End, 5G Super Blueprint. This initiative will build upon the existing work done by this demo team (from the VCO through the 5G Cloud Native Network with ONAP), and build an E2E 5G Super Blueprint in the following Steps: 1. 5G Core + MEC, 2. 5G E2E Slicing + MEC, 3. 5GC + Slicing + O-RAN + MEC. We welcome you to join the effort to build this blueprint by signing up fir the mailing list below and attending the calls. If you have any questions about participation, please email bwick@linuxfoundation.org.
