Overview

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community organizied the 4th OSM Hackfest on 29 October to 2 November 2018.

The event was hosted by VMware in Palo Alto, during the OSM#6 meeting, offering a great opportunity to share and learn with OSM developers and module leaders, while getting hands-on experience with OSM Release FOUR

Participation to OSM Hackfests is free and open to all upon registration

Venue

Scope

This OSM Hackfest allowed new users to get familiar with OSM Rel FOUR and exercise all the main functionalities, from basic operations (installation, setup, common operations, etc.) to most advanced activities, with a big focus on VNF on-boarding activities covering Day 0/1/2 operations.

In addition, experienced users and developers had the opportunity to hack into OSM, fine-tune, test and demonstrate Rel FIVE and experimental features on the OSM Remote Labs network.

Objectives

Install OSM and run some examples
Get familiar with OSM's GUI and CLI
Create your own VNF and NS descriptors and build packages
Understand how to deploy NS/VNF with EPA
Learn how to add dynamic LCM with Day-1 and Day-2 actions with charms
Basic troubleshooting
Freestyle Experimental Sessions

Who attended

VNF vendors, who want to onboard their VNF in OSM following best practices
System Integrators, who want to get used with OSM
Service providers, who want to get first hand operational experience with OSM
Academia and Universities, who are considering OSM as platform for their research activities in networking
Experimented developers and users that want to share and test with the community

Prerequisites

Sits are limited, registration is mandatory
Laptop / VM in laptop
- Linux installed (preferred, Ubuntu 16.04)
- RECOMMENDED: 2 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 20GB disk
