Minutes

Anuket Assured Lincoln Lavoie

• Badging from Anuket Assured - is it meeting the operator needs?
• Requirements feed the specifications - are the covering the essentials?
• Is the testing coverage from the RC* work sufficient based on operator needs?
• Badging does NOT define new testing - rather it references existing tests for each of the infrastructure and workloads
• EUAG members don't have direct exposure to the Anuket project and specs (see wiki.anuket.io) 
• Al Morton many pointers available to the content in Anuket are available
• Lei Huang perhaps EUAG do some homework to improve understanding on Anuket, then meet again.

AI/ML White paper

• How to combine the Anuket AI/ML work with the EUAG white paper development?
• NFV Testing & Automation Whitepapers are available here: https://www.lfnetworking.org/category/publications/
• AI/ML white paper still under development 
• Weekly meeting in Anuket for AI/ML for NFV Sridhar Rao
  • Plan - start with "failure prediction" use case: seeking an exact definition of this term.
  • Using real data sets is desirable instead of synthetic data sets
  • See https://wiki.anuket.io/x/XIh0
  • Survey uses 7 different categories
  • Next 3 months - expect a operating predictive model for failure prediction
• Other NFV Testing & Automation Whitepapers that Lei mentioned are available here: https://www.lfnetworking.org/category/publications/

Recruiting developers for Anuket development

• If there is value perceived from member companies in the Anuket work, the best way to continue the value delivery is to contribute resources
• New projects can be started as needed
• EUAG needs to develop their understanding of Anuket before this conversation can gain significance 

Action items

• Educate the EUAG on the Anuket project and the content of the specs/tests/releases
