Overview

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

The event will be 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.

Venue

VMware Inc || Hilltop A

3425 Hillview Avenue

Palo Alto 94304, CA, USA

Scope

This OSM Hackfest will run 2 paralel tracks :

The first one will allow 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.
The second one will allow experienced users and developers to hack into OSM, fine-tune, test and demonstrate Rel FIVE and experimental features on the OSM Remote Labs network

Objectives

Beginners Track
- 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
Advanced Track
- Freestyle Experimental Sessions
- Several challenges to be solved during the week will be offered to participants

Who should attend

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 commmunity

Prerequisites

Sits are limited: book yours!
Laptop / VM in laptop
- Linux installed (preferred, Ubuntu 16.04)
- RECOMMENDED: 2 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 20GB disk
User-level knowledge of Linux
Familiarity with NFV and SDN concepts
For optimal use of the time it is highly recommended that you download and install the OSM Rel FOUR vagrant image (including virtualbox and vagrant) prior to the hackfest. Please see https://osm.etsi.org/wikipub/index.php/How_to_run_OSM_on_Vagrant for details on how to download and install OSM on your computer.
