Meeting minutes

Survey

Survey out from surveymokey - focus on understanding where operators are in complying with ETSI in service orchestration standards. Please respond to the survey it you've not responded already. Reminder will be sent today (2/12)

OVP program - Heather Kirksey

...

• NFVI has many flavors - many components that can be used to build out the NFVI
• Perhaps the EUAG can steer us toward a more constrained NFVI - driven off profiles
• Validating 3GPP is aspirational, right now the focus is on a minimum of tests
• Want folks to interact with the program and steer it towards highest value

Priorities

1. VNF Compliance
2. NFVI alignment (align with industry preferences)
3. VNF validation
4. NFVI validation
5. MANO implementation as SUT

...

• Beth - have to start with compliance, then validation
• Margret - Use the table in the poll as a ranked ordering (maybe top 3)
• Lingli - What does alignment mean?
  • Operator agreement to constrain number of choices to make the test space manageable
• Ryan - can we get a crisp definition of all the terms written down as a part of the deck
  • Alignment is not a perfect word - perhaps profiling is a better term
• Lingli - How do we mix open source and commercial?
• Randy - Lead with open source and make infrastructure available for commercial applications

Q and A

GSMA profile A and B? Rabi - these are defined in the profile
What is the difference between compliance and validation testing?

...

• Docs will be added soon - Dovetail and VNFSDK are currently leading

Action items

•  Heather to produce a written glossary of terms (validation/compliance/alignment)
•  Heather to send out survey on prioritization

ONS feedback

• ONS NA week of April 1  - assume many will attend - perhaps both working and social session

07:22:56 From Lingli-CMCC : What is the difference between VNF compliance testing and
07:23:05 From Lingli-CMCC : validation testing?
07:31:00 From Lingli-CMCC : This is the confusing point.
07:31:15 From Lingli-CMCC : VNF RQTS contains the spec
07:31:19 From Lingli-CMCC : for like
07:31:23 From Lingli-CMCC : lcm
07:31:39 From Lingli-CMCC : onboarding, creation, termination
07:31:56 From Lingli-CMCC : but not the VNF function itself
07:32:38 From Lingli-CMCC : agreed
07:33:08 From Brian Freeman AT&T : compliance checks artifacts - validataion actually instantiates and confirms it functions as a VNF
07:33:16 From Herbert Damker (DT) : What actually the abbreviation CVC stands for?
07:33:46 From Rabi A (Vodafone) : Compliance and Verification Comitee
07:34:01 From Lingli-CMCC : I understand VNF LCM to be part of compliance testing
07:35:42 From Lingli-CMCC : validation may be validate the VNF is an HSS as expected
07:36:55 From Lingli-CMCC : ONAP is required to do VNF LCM compliance testing
07:40:44 From Brian Freeman AT&T : Seems like Operators would want a repeatble and inspectable process for VNF testing that would make it clear a VNF works on a reasonable cloud with ONAP. Not clear NFVI testing is as important to all carriers.
07:52:49 From Lingli-CMCC : What do you mean by Alignment?
07:53:44 From Brian Freeman AT&T : I had the same question Lingli
08:01:20 From Lingli-CMCC : Will be ONS.
