We will address telecom service providers use-cases for AI and machine learning and desired state of ONAP policy engine to optimize cloud/network resource management, enhance security and drive better customer experience for supporting future services landscape. | Sana Tariq |
| 10 | Panel: Lessons Learned: Integration, From the Cradle to the Stage | Robyn Bergeron, Daniel Farrell, Monty Taylor, Gildas Lanilis, Fatih Degirmenci | Anyone who is interested in learning about what we are doing to solve challenges we all face in open source E2E Integration | In this panel, developers from OPNFV, OpenDaylight, OpenStack and ONAP communities will discuss the challenges in E2E Integration and Testing faced by the open source networking projects and what each community is doing to address them in a collaborative manner. Participants will learn more about the initiatives driven collectively by these communities and get to know the latest developments in CI/CD and DevOps area in open source. | Fatih Degirmenci Daniel Farrell |
| 11 | Enabling Workloads Orchestration in Multiple Clouds | Bin Hu, bh526r@att.com Bin Yang, bin.yang@windriver.com | LFN Developers and anyone who is interested in enabling a platform and service on multiple cloud infrastructures | ONAP is missioned to deploy and run VNFs on multiple infrastructure environments, including virtualized infrastructure and cloud native. Workload deployment and orchestration in multiple clouds is expected to play an essential role in ONAP operational success.This presentation discusses an architectural vision for ONAP to orchestrate workloads in multiple clouds. The key aspects for a comprehensive ONAP workload orchestration are discussed, including deploying containerized workloads into k8s clusters on bare metal in edge cloud. ONAP MultiVIM component serves as a single platform for deployment and orchestration of containerized workloads as well as VM-based workloads in true multiple infrastructures. It simplifies workload management and improves ONAP’s operational performance and user experience. | Contact Bin Hu, bh526r@att.com |
| 12 | A guide to build a cloud native VNF | VNF or application developers | Cloud native webscale applications are already in use since years. The principles of cloud native transformed the industry and all applications are hyper scalable and infrastructure agnostic. How can we apply the same pattern to a high capacity and highly available VNF and how can this fit into the ETSI NFV architecture? In this talk I will describe how the different layers of a core network signaling VNF application built together into a new cloud native architecture, what challenges we had and how did we solve those. | ||
| 13 | Kubernetes networking in the telco space | Gergely Csatari | Anyone trying to run VNF-s on Kubernetes. | The main purpose of VNFs is to route different types of network traffic into the right direction. This means that VNFs are handling a high amount of network traffic and have special networking needs. The networking solution provided by Kubernetes does not fulfill these requirements, therefore we built a CNI plugin. This presentation lists the requirements and architecture of CNI plugin and alternatives, which were investigated. | |
| 14 | Building a product on Open Source: Challenges and Solutions, | Ekta Khurana, ekhurana@luminanetworks.com Vasu Srinivasan, vsriniv@luminanetworks.com | Anyone who wants to build a product and CI infrastructure on Open Source | Recent evolution of Open Source projects has made a significant impact on the approaches that organizations use to build software products. While Open Source projects offer measurable benefits, a wide range of features and use cases, maintaining production quality is an immense effort that demands organizations to adopt the “upstream first” methodology. Speakers will share their experiences on the technical challenges encountered while productizing the OpenDaylight project, nuances of supporting parallel major releases, re-enforcing quality metrics, community contribution, packaging process to build a production ready distribution, applying continuous integration and automated testing techniques on different platforms, keeping up with major upstream releases and insights into how to maintain a two-way road between a community project and a company product. | Contact: Ekta Khurana ekhurana@luminanetworks.com |
| 15 | Advanced automation in ONAP via closed loop | Marco Platania | ONAP, LNF developers, cloud providers, network operators | Cloud technologies and virtualization are revolutionizing the network. Operators can rapidly deploy network functions, scale out, replicate, and migrate them based on customer demand, resource availability, reliability requirements, etc. This highly dynamic environment makes it hard and inefficient to manage modern networks manually. ONAP addresses this issue by supporting policy-driven automation of management functions via closed loop. This allows to monitor and control the behavior of network functions in real time, dynamically scale resources, and quickly manage the failure of network elements, resulting in operational efficiency and cost reduction. In this talk, we will present the main building blocks for creating closed loops in ONAP and demonstrate closed loop in action for managing the lifecycle of FD.io VPP-based ONAP use cases. | Contact: Marco Platania, platania@research.att.com |
