The topic is very broad, so what should we focus on. Should ?
- Should focus on workloads and access, not the business models (PaaS, IaaS).
...
- How can the Telecoms leverage the Hyperscaler resources?
. Trends are that vendors are providing environments (Cisco for example) that are not compatible with multi-cloud services. How can telecoms balance the need for control of the infrastructure and the lack of transparency into the hyperscaler architectures. ?
- Need to rely on brokers and APIs (who controls and develops the APIs). All the hyperscalers have extensive incompatible APIs.
...
- Open API Forum has been wrestling with the willingness for
...
- stakeholders to contribute to OpenAPIs.
...
- What is the common interest in open APIs?
...
- Walter Kozlowskithinks that the hyperscalars are in fact interested in working with Telecom operators to define a common set of APIs.
...
- GSMA has some work in this area.
...
- Do the hyperscalers participate in GSMA?
...
- Pankaj Goyalnotes that the hyperscalers are in a high growth phase of their business (marketshare acquisition mode).
...
- How does 5G fit into this.
...
- How do we define the interface with the hyperscalers?
...
- Several use cases that need to be addressed – 5G, hosted controller suites, multi-cloud access.
...
- Some companies have attempted to bridge public and private cloud (VMWare, is an example) with mixed success.
...
- Chapter 6 in RM covers interfaces with Hyperscalers.
...
- Needs to better define the ownership and responsibilities.
...
- ETSI documents cover the cloud interfaces, where IFA 40 is the stage 2 doc for interfaces and requirements for container solutions. Stage 3 will be profiling (maps stage 2 to the interface in de-facto standards), not an API specification. The profiling for Kubernetes is started in SOL018 document. Question about ETSI's work on container architecture. ETSI is acknowledging the need to cover container and Kubernetes infrastructure, need to have multiple standards.
