OSM9 Hackfest

Overview

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community are organizing a new OSM Hackfest on 1-4 June 2020. The event will be run remotely, allowing participants to join the hands-on sessions from home.

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

Scope

This OSM#9 Hackfest will guide participants through the step by step on-boarding, deployment and end-to-end testing of an hybrid Network Service: a Magma EPC with VNF, CNF and PNF components. Participants will be able to get familiar and experiment by themselves with latest OSM features such as:

• VNF Package Management
• Automating Day 1 & 2 operations with OSM Primitives
• Orchestrating VNFs, CNFs and PNFs
• Enabling high performance VNFs
• Underlay automation with SDN Assist
• Service assurance, monitoring and auto-scaling
• Network slicing
• Placement optimization

In addition, participants will benefit of an open Q&A session with OSM experts and learn about success stories of OSM deployments in the OSM Ecosystem day

Who should attend

• VNF vendors, who want to onboard their VNF in OSM following best practices
• System Integrators, who want to develop their expertise 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

Prerequisites

• Registration is mandatory!
• Participants are expected to have user-level knowledge of Linux and be familiar with NFV and SDN concepts
• You will need your laptop
  • A remote environment will be made available though VPN for participants to run the hands-on sessions
  • If you prefer to install OSM in your own laptop and orchestrate your own cloud, please follow the OSM Quick Start Guide
