Overview

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community are organizing the 6th OSM Hackfest on 13-17 May 2019.

The event will be hosted by INTEL in Santa Clara (CA, USA), co-located with the OSM#7 plenary meeting, offering a great opportunity to share and learn with OSM developers and module leaders, and explore further opportunities for synergies and collaboration.

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

Venue

Intel Corporation

3600 Juliette Lane,

Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA

Scope

This OSM Hackfest will allow new users to get familiar with OSM Release FIVE and exercise all the main functionalities, from basic operations (installation, setup, common operations, etc.) to most advanced activities, such as 5G network slicing and end-to end service orchestration, with a big focus on VNF on-boarding activities covering Day 0/1/2 operations.

In addition, experienced users and developers will have the opportunity to hack into OSM, build complex examples, fine-tune, test and demonstrate Release SIX and experimental features on the OSM Remote Labs network.

Objectives

OSM Hackfest participants will learn to

Install OSM and run some examples
Get familiar with OSM's GUI and CLI
Create own VNF and NS descriptors and build packages
Model and deploy NS/VNF with EPA capabilities
Model dynamic Life Cycle Management operations with Day-1 and Day-2 actions
Model 5G Network Slices and complex NS with PNFs
Perform basic troubleshooting
Configure Fault and Performance management and close-loop operations
Modify and experiment with OSM source code
Build complex examples and run own experimental testing

Who should attend

VNF vendors, who want to onboard their VNF in OSM following best practices
System Integrators, who want to get started 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

Seats are limited, registration is mandatory
Participants are expected to have user-level knowledge of Linux and be familiar with NFV and SDN concepts
Laptop / VM in laptop
- Linux installed (preferred, Ubuntu 16.04)
- RECOMMENDED: 2 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 20GB disk
It is highly recommended that you download and install OSM Rel FIVE before the hackfest.
