Notes

What is happening?
- The plan is to merge the assets of cloud native networking in CNCF and the LFN to decrease the fragmentation of the space and help the adoption
- We had an initial workshop during KubeCon last week. Notes are stored here: https://github.com/cncf/cnf-wg/blob/main/events/LF-Cloud-Native-Networking-Program-Alignment-Workshop.md
- Recording of the presentation in the Cloud Native Telco Day: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj6h78yzYM2ODwEuvLJLSaz4GppECN4MQ
Deliverables
- Written specifications and executable test cases
- Tests against the CaaS platform and the CNF-s
- Traceability of requirements to tests
- Should the interaction between the CNF and Cloud Platform be in-scope for this program? Maybe not in the short term.
Operator view on cloud native requirements
- https://github.com/cncf/cnf-wg/pull/272

Existing assets
Long term goals
- "Full stack" compliance from core to edge
  - We should define what "full stack" is
- Break down to subcomponents and start working on the different components
What should we differently this time?
- We should sit down and do some retrospective on previous activities.
- Not make the same mistakes, but what those mistakes were?
Where to continue the discussion?
- Create the asset list somewhere - wiki: https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/IoG-Bg
- Current CNF WG meetings - See details in the cnf-wg Readme page - https://github.com/cncf/cnf-wg#readme
Continue to support the already done and ongoing CNF certifications
