Tutorial

Open Source Mano held a very successful and inspiring tutorial on Tuesday, delivered by Francisco Javier Ramón Salguero (Telefónica, ETSI OSM Chair), on "Open Source MANO", providing an overview of Open Source MANO (OSM) and its role as a generalised cloud-native orchestrator for infrastructure, platforms, and services. The tutorial will showcase OSM’s new declarative approach to infrastructure and application management, including enhanced cluster management and declarative application modelling.
