Technology (Reference Architecture)

Reference Architecture: Initialization

(Moderator)

Create ToC

How to Engage and Create

Reference Architectures: 

What are the anchors we build around?

OpenStack

VMWare

etc.

Reference Architecture: Creation

(Moderator)

Setting meaningful targets, backlog

Detailed Release Timeline – Feedback / Doability / Issues / Concerns / Gap

Including adoption of OVP VNF Certification and NFVi verification 

(align this with other open source bodies also)

How to cooperate on and create when we leave here.

Support and Sponsorship

Enhancements to Test projects / OVP & CVC ecosystem

CNTT(Rabi)/LFN (Heather)

Vision: 

Describe current OVP/CVC vision and relation to CNTT, impact on OPNFV, ONAP, etc.

Understanding the ecosystem (who, what, where, how?):

Existing Test project / OVP ecosystem. CI/CD processes and procedures, security, etc. What in-flight projects are impacted? Which does CNTT feed? Which feed CNTT? Which are obsoleted? Where they see oppty’s for improvement? What else does CNTT need to consider?

Realization:

What are the real steps in the journey? How do we reveal the reference platform profiles and architectures into OPNFV code? How do we go from model to arch to implementation to various project code updation? How could/should it work from a practical perspective?

What will help us facilitate release management?

OPNFV Project Plan:

What shall be our approach? What are the key components? 

Reference Implementation / OVP & CVC ecosystem

(Moderator)

OVP Infrastructure:

What enables smooth transitions? Where and how do reference models, architectures, implementations get hosted? How to make seamless translations between GSMA OPNFV addressable works? Demarcations with other bodies? 

‘Project Management’:

What needs to be aligned to ensure all workloads come up and all work (so that VNF certification testing can begin?); Tasks? Deliverables? Processes?

Where Do We Go From Here

Adoption Strategy

(Moderator)

Establish metric targets as part of value propositions:

VNF Operational efficiency & Innovation acceleration, Cut amount of internal testing to be done by SPs, Accelerate Time To Market, Improve Quality, Reduce Costs, Reduce Barriers To Entry

Examples:

Reduction in testing and integration costs, Reduction in certification time, Reduction in defects, Reduction in operational costs…

What is overall message: 

“This is a GSMA OPNFV jointly supported activity...”, Adoption of Ref Model and Architectures (as part of RFQ process), Collaborative Marketing

Leveraging Social Media: 

Telecom TV. SM alliances. SDX Central articles. Talking to analysts. Meetup Groups.

Closing Session

(Moderator)

Accomplishments:

What did we get done? What did we gain alignment/agreement on? What did we sign-off on?

What still needs work?

Follow ups:

What do we need follow up on? Who are they assigned to?

Next steps:

What are our next steps? With OPNFV / OVP / CVC? With GSMA? With Task Force? With other stakeholders?

Calendar and Schedule:

Review and confirm remote meetings. Review and confirm face-to-face meetings

Session Review:

Give everyone an opportunity to speak into all the topics of the day: What went well? What didn’t go so well? What should we change?
