1st OSM Hackfest
Overview
ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community are organising the 1st OSM Hackfest on 15-19 January 2018.
The event will be hosted in ETSI's headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France and co-located with the Second NFV Plugtests event
Participation is free and open to all. Registration deadline is 5th January 2018
The hackfest will start on monday the 15th at 2pm and end friday the 19th at 1pm.
Scope
The 1st OSM Hackfest will concentrate on VNF on-boarding activities covering Day 0/1/2 operations.
It will address complex descriptor development to leverage the full suite of capabilities offered by OSM Release THREE, from service and resource orchestration to VNF configuration with charm development.
Objectives
- 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
- Special attention will be paid to troubleshoot real cases from co-located NFV Plugtests.
Do you have some specific topics that you would like to see covered during the Hackfest? Please reach us at OSM_TECH@list.etsi.org
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
And, of course, participants in 2nd NFV Plugtests who might have specific demands of troubleshooting for their VNF descriptors or Infrastructure
