LF Anti-trust
We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.
Welcome all. new attendees. If you have any questions about participating in this community, please contact Louis Illuzzi (lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org).
Umbrella goal- NaaS - evaluate above as they applies to NaaS, example RAN, Network. NaaS can become a tenant of these services. (not a separate Use Case).
High Level problem statement:
Hign level User Stories:
Epic/Use Case- Edge placement of network functions (RAN) deployment at the edge. Create a cell site (leveraging Equinix metro site availability) and place CU/DU workloads at the cell site. for slicing Use Case and cell site deployment (edge placement) Use Case. Also include slicing latency at the network edge. Find the characteristcs of the slice, example; maximum number of UEs, maximum number of videos sessions that can be supported; latency at the core and RAN
Use Case- Automation. Equinix has a script to deploy Free5GC and gNodeB. We can look into how that fits into automation and auto deployment for an automation Use Case.
Equinix is using gNodeB built into Free5GC
How can KubeArmor be integrated into the automated deployment (Muddasar).
Remote Atestation of IoT devices - SEDIMENT project. Placeholder
Any others?
6/9 Month Sprint Backlog
Use Case- Secure Orchestration- using Enterprise and corporate policies, and well as standards requirements, demostrate the capability to deploy workloads securely, and then create network slices based on an SLA. Define behaviors at Day 0 and Day 1. How does KubeArmor fill the security gaps? Create Epic for secure orchestration, then add Use Stories
Use Case- Overlay networks (Equinix). Demonstrate the mapping of a 5G network slice to where the overlay gateway and controllers are located, and demonstrate how the placement of the UPF or RIC, where the traffic can be broken out to, support the overlay networks. Potential as a User Story in secure orchestration Epic

--------- Notes from 03/21 Bi-Weekly Status Meeting for Reference ---------------
Infrastructure as a Service, network placement and orchrestration as a Service
Contribution opportunity around observability; Equinix would be interested conversations in insert observability features into the framework
Equinix is using gnodeb built into Free5GC
Potential 5G SBP Use Cases

Lab Updates
UNH-IOL
Will have a gNodeB (Amarisoft) available in March time-frame, that can be shared to the 5GSB. System is already setup in RF isolation chamber. Limited 5G eMBB UE are available as well.
LaaS is online / can be booked / connected to the gNodeB.
Kaloom (Montreal)
RU brought into the lab
SD-Core installed- Next- connect Kaloom UPF to SD-Core
Adding Use Cases with IBM- retail and IoT
Open5GS install is pending
Wavelabs (Hyderabad)
EMCO is working with Free5GC
Upcoming Meetings
Deep Dive Meeting (placeholder) Sprint Planning Meeting
Topic proposal: Use Cases for Next sprint. Identify low hanging fruit. What can we accomplish in the next 3 months, 6 months, 9 months
sort Use Cases into LOE buckets; Sprint Backlogs for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
