OSM-MR8 Hackfest

Overview

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community are organizing the first Fully Remote OSM Hackfest from 9th to 12th March 2020.

The event will be run in parallel with the OSM-MR#8 meeting, which will also be run remotely.

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

Scope

This OSM Hackfest will allow new users to get familiar with OSM Release SEVEN and exercise all the new functionalities, such as:

• OSM deployment on Kubernetes and self-monitoring of OSM Modules
• End-to-end Orchestration and life cycle management of real Network Services
  • packaging, on-boarding,
  • day-0/day-1/day-2 configuration
  • service assurance: monitoring and closed-loop operation

Ecosystem Day

The OSM Ecosystem Day allows organizations in the OSM ecosystem to share how they are using OSM and how it is helping them to achieve their goals. Presentations and demos cover a wide range of aspects from research activities in academia to production deployments and commercial initiatives, most of them focused in 5G use cases. Thursday 9 am - 1 pm.

• [Presentation 30'] Introducing Telefónica's Virtualization Program: UNICA NEXT
  • Presenter: Antonio Elizondo, Head of Design Assurance, Telco Cloud Architecture, gCTIO Unit, Telefonica
  • Abstract: UNICA is the Network Virtualization program of Telefónica. Launched on 2014, during 2019 it had been already deployed in all the footprint of Telefónica. UNICA NEXT is the next generation of this program, incorporating the latest virtualization technologies into an industrialized plan, where OSM plays a significant role.
• [Presentation 30'] Deploying OSM in production
  • Presenter: Francisco Rodríguez, Indra
  • Abstract Required Infrastructure blueprint. Integration into the Operator Systems. User authentication: LDAP and SSO. Instrumentation: Metrics, alarms and logs. Operation and Support services.
• [Presentation 30'] Building a community to reduce VNF integration costs
  • Presenters: Mark Shuttleworth, Arno Van Huyssteen, Canonical
  • Abstract: Community-driven portfolio of open source CNFs and VNFs. Partnerships with SIs to help them onboard workloads more reliably and efficiently. Kubernetes operator pattern for software operations, Python Operator Framework. Simplifying upstream OSM production operations.

• [Demo 30'] Easily Setting up 4G/5G Testbeds with OpenAirInterface using OSM
  • Presenter: Thomas Dreibholz, Chief Research Engineer, Simula Metropolitan Centre for Digital Engineering
  • Abstract: Setting up 4G/5G testbeds can be a highly complicated and error-prone task. In this presentation, we introduce our Open Source VNF and tool-chain for an OpenAirInterface-based EPC to be deployed with the OSM framework. Using our VNF and tool-chain as basis, it will be easily possible to create own testbeds, customise them and extend them with further functionalities.
• [BREAK 30'] ☕
• [Presentation 30'] Tata Elxsi TEOSM Orchestrator, to enable fully virtualized 5G deployments
  • Presenter: B. Ramesh Ramanathan, Tata Elxsi
  • Abstract: Readiness of OSM for deployment from the perspective of an Operator network, northbound sounthbound integration and demos on the same using TEOSM, an offical distribution of Open Source MANO
• [Demo 30'] Automatic Placement of VNFs
  • Presenter Lars-Göran Magnusson, Arctos Labs
  • Abstract: With wider adoption of NFV and SDN technologies and evolving towards Edge computing, we anticipate the number of locations offering ability to deploy workloads to grow. Those scenarios introduce a need to optimize how individual VNFs / CNFs of NSDs are placed across available infrastructure. The placement feature introduced in release 7.1 supports computation of optimal placement of VNFs / CNFs over VIMs, by matching NS specific requirements (such as VLD Latency constraints) to infrastructure availability and metrics. The placement feature will find the most cost optimal distribution of the NS taking both compute and transport costs into account. The session will demonstrate how OSM's new feature for placement optimization can be utilized, combining a mix of VNF pinning to VIMs, and automatic placement.

• [Presentation 30'] WhiteNFV Castelldefels, and deploying CNFs with Helm in Kubernetes
  • Presenter: José Miguel Guzmán, Whitestack
  • Abstract: In this session we will present our approach for getting OSM into production environments, deploying it on top of standardized infrastructure layers: Vanilla Openstack and Vanilla Kubernetes. In addition, we will review how to deploy advanced network services, by combining VNFs (in Openstack) and CNF (with Helm and Kubernetes)
