Minutes
Research survey on cloud native maturity for telecom
- Heather Kirksey reviewed a third party research plan on the "Cloud Native Maturity Model" Analysys Mason EUAG.pptx
- Caroline Chappell will be reaching out to many EUAG members that sign-up directly for input.
AI/ML data and model sharing project status
- Insufficient interest in the operator and vendor community for continued project focus
- CSP/vendors are welcome to add ideas to https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/JIEZAw
- Foundational data model is the key to open collaboration @HJ Han
- Massimo Massimo mentioned that Huawei has done some work in this area - "catalyst" effort = POC - on network intelligence and machine learning. Focus was to demonstrate functionality that could be practically applied. TM Forum sponsored.
- @HJ Han sometimes what is demonstrated is not what people are actually doing.
Synchronization of NFV testing white paper and webinar
- Published initial NFV white paper at the end of March
- Thanks to Beth & Randy & Lei for a great webinar
- Community contributions made the white paper a complete perspective of the NFV testing topic
- Future white papers: 5G SDN adoption
End user requirements in Anuket
- EUAG participants cover a very broad range of networking topics
- EUAG would provide another set of eyes to review the conformance testing objectives of Anuket releases
- Randy Levensalor should include K8s - but many features are in beta/early development phases
- Hardware acceleration (eg. FGPAs) is one area that could use some attention
- FPGAs - No common programming language
- Smart NICs - largely testing well
- Interop testing of acceleration is under-tested - Anuket Reference Model - has started to pick up HW acceleration
- VSperf is broadening a bit - unsure if that is covered or still a gap
- ODIM also investigating how to uniformly report on acceleration facilities
- Lei Huang How to better work with Anuket?
- ONAP priorities get input from EUAG. Input to Anuket is currently loosely connected via common participants
- Perhaps a joint meeting with Anuket TSC and EUAG at June virtual event as the next step in getting stronger collaboration between Anuket/EUAG
- Heather Kirkseygave an overview of Anuket
- @HJ Han discussion of inclusion of ODL in the graphic
Action items
- Investigate moving the EUAG meeting to 1400 Tuesday with Anuket TSC Jim Baker
- Investigate the base foundational data model for network elements as a basis of AI/ML data model sharing @HJ Han
- Approach Huawei to see if we can leverage the Catalyst work on AI/ML Massimo Massimo
