EUAG Working Group proposal 2   

@Atul Purohit  

None of the current attendees were a part of the original formation of the EUAG!

Objective: Create more valuable engagement by focusing on important projects: ONAP (initially)

Focus areas: 

  • Carrier priorities for ONAP

    • get a catalog of service provider priorities

  • State of play

    • PoC examples and Production examples

  • Cross-carrier initiatives

  • Distribution strategy

    • MVP approach/platform maturity plan

Atul reviewed a set of "homework" for each of the CSPs to get more insight to the interests and actions of each of the CSPs

  • CSPs are to complete the 3 worksheets for review by 2019-05-07

  • We'll review the CSP inputs in the next EUAG meeting

  • At the 2019-05-21 meeting, we'll review the normalized view

OVP value proposition/MVP review 

@Heather Kirksey @Lincoln Lavoie



Heather presented the concept of a Minimum Valuable Product proposal

Asking for feedback on the assumptions and priorities of the MVP

Lincoln reviewed the progress to date on the OVP

  • We have basic "compliance" testing today

  • Next step is VNF "validation" testing - sitting atop a NFVI w/ONAP

?Is this a set of requirements?

Considerable discussion on the nature of the NFVI used for testing

Lifecycle management 

  • Instead of looking at the full range of LCM - focus on day0 (on-boarding & instantiation) activities

?Does this provide value for the CSPs in the Rel E timeframe?

  • @FREEMAN, BRIAN D Yes - it is a step along a progression

  • @Saad Ullah Sheikh Useful but not sufficient

  • @Guy Meador  Not the NFVI nor is it ONAP MVP - it's only focused on the NFV

Looking to finalize by end of April - will provide a final recap of the MVP by next meeting

07:30:44 From Catherine Lefevre : i can not speak - here is catherine
07:30:59 From Catherine Lefevre : 32475 77 36 73
07:32:30 From Catherine Lefevre : thanks I will disconnect since i was only attending to the first part as ONAP TSC :-)
07:32:36 From Catherine Lefevre : have a nice day
07:42:07 From Brian : onap doesnt provide a Openstack - wording issue
07:43:27 From Heather Kirksey : Brian, we were under the impression that ONAP does ship w/ a vanilla OpenStack. If that's not the case, that's a great point to bring up. Thx
07:44:54 From Marc-Alexandre Choquette (Bell Canada) : you could swap ‘provided’ by ‘supported’.
07:45:51 From Brian : 'supported' would be much better
07:46:13 From SAAD SHEIKH <STC> : Do we have a plan to output some specifications that can support us during RFP bcz from OPNFV OVP also we find challenge for this point
07:51:15 From LinMeng : how does the requirements& deliverables designed? why the test only focus on HEAT based VNFs?
07:53:58 From Lincoln Lavoie (UNH-IOL) : @LinMeng, the focus on HEAT is largely based on the relationship to the timing. TOSCA would likely require additional work on requirements and test tooling. So, the value question is, Does HEAT in the E-release timing create the first level of value, or does it need to include TOSCA and push the timing out to create the value
07:55:43 From LinMeng : thanks
07:56:45 From Heather Kirksey : And LinMeng, that is one of the questions we wanted to ask all of you here?
08:03:04 From Lincoln Lavoie (UNH-IOL) : VNF Validation Minimum Viable Product
08:03:32 From LinMeng : I will confirm and provide the feedback . I think we have the requirements for the testing of TOSCA based VNFs
