Agenda
Discuss Proposed Webinar Panel Session for September with talking points and participants
Updated discussion on captured summary accomplishment talking points/Call to action in their areas that we can amplify in marketing messages –
Review any update on Field trials. – Mirantis is building the RI1 implementation based on the specifications from RA1
ROI Discussion - Brainstorming Nick & Scot- Update
Open Discussion on continued Marketing Messaging
Outstanding ARs
Bob Monkman (Deactivated) begin drafting questions for participant survey
Minutes:
1st pass summation of accomplishments/next steps polling
Accomplishments:
defined an architecture w/ clear APIs, requirements and test requirements
defined profiles for compute-intensive , network-intensive workloads , capabilities and measurements and mapped them together
Common APIs, common language about expectations and descriptions of needed solutions, makes it easier to deliver on the expected solutions
common ways to express resources and easier to track changes,; easier to code from common specification language
We have built a generic, flexible and yet concrete model that can spawn multiple Ref architetures
we have been identifying and closing gaps previously unaddressed
The Ref Model and profiles and relationships are already making it easier to write RFxs by creating standard ways of asking for and assessing solutions
For some operators, the RA is useful for operations to build a concrete architecture while RI/RC is becoming a recognized sandbox for evolving the solutions
Meanwhile, we have engaged experts from a broad cross section of the supply chain and established strong working relationships with other stakeholders on OSS projects and SDOs
Note: TIP Open COre project engaged to consider there k8s implementation to be based on RA-2
We are now evolving the models for practical real world hybrid deployments of VM/container architectures to realize the necessary co-existence of IaaS/Caas which much be managed on the same HW w/ complex multi-tenant ecosystem
CHallenges/where we need help
- how to integrate SDN into cloud arch
- how to automate build, deploy and operational aspects
- how to exploit HW capabilities in a vendor neutral way- Need Open HW Infra Mgmt
