- Baraque:
- CNTT Marketing is asking us for some talking points about Reference Model in the Baraque release, which they need to promote this release. I gave him some points (see below).
In Baraque release we focus on making RM technology agnostic to cover both VM-based virtualisation as well as containerisation of network functions.
We augmented the model to allow co-existence of different Cloud Infrastructure deployments in line with the evolving technology.
To enable the co-existence, a new important element was added to RM: Hardware Infrastructure Manager (HIM) which can allow different virtual infrastructure implementations simultaneously using the same share hardware infrastructure. CNTT started a collaboration with ODIM on the definition of HIM (possibly using RedFish).
We expanded network and storage discussion within RM, clarifying distinction between the virtual and hardware layers within networking and storage.
Baraque version of RM will be handed over to GSMA Networking Group (NG), where it is planned to be published as a GSMA NG PRD (Permanent Reference Document).
The on-going maintenance of this PRD and hence the collaboration with the CNTT RM will be a responsibility of a newly formed subgroup under GSMA NG called OITF (Open Infrastructure Task Force). In the course of this collaboration, several CNTT RM contributors registered as the members of OITF.

- Discussion point: how much of "Virtual network specifications" we need to add to RM, after Baraque
- Addressing gaps - post Baraque
- Status of LCM sections review/cleanup
