Scope

This OSM Hackfest will allow new users to get familiar with OSM Release SIX and exercise all the main functionalities, from basic operations (installation, setup, common operations, etc.) to most advanced capabilities, such as 5G network slicing with a big focus on VNF on-boarding activities covering Day 0/1/2 operations.

In addition, experienced users and developers will have the opportunity to hack into OSM, build complex examples, fine-tune, test and demonstrate Release SEVEN and experimental features on the OSM Remote Labs network.

Objectives

OSM Hackfest participants will learn to :

• Install OSM and run some examples
• Get familiar with OSM's GUI and CLI
• Create basic VNF and NS Descriptors and build own packages
• Model and deploy Advanced Network Services with:
  • Multi-VDU VNFs
  • Physical and Hybrid Network Functions
  • EPA capabilities
• Model dynamic Life Cycle Management operations with Day-1 and Day-2 actions
• Configure Fault and Performance Management and close-loop operations
  • Collecting, visualizing and reacting to metrics and events
• Model and Deploy 5G Network Slices
• Configure and Deploy Service Function Chaining
• Contribute, modify and experiment with OSM source code
  • Perform basic troubleshooting
• Understand OSM CI/CD and Robot Framework
  • Build complex examples and run own experimental testing

Who should attend

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