Notes from CNTT - CNCF TUG F2F workshop in KubeCon NA 2019



Notes from Joint TUG/CNTT Meeting Part 1 (Gdocs version)

Overview of TUG and CNTT groups



Interactive workshops/discussions 



Review of Chapter 1 of TUG Whitepaper

  • Feedback:

    • We should have a clear reference to things, like immutable infrastructure

    • Maybe we should describe that CNF-s can be run on any cloud and even bare metal

CNTT Cloud Native Reference Architecture (RA2)

  • Validation of the ToC of RA2. Are we discussing the right topics in RA2? (@Gergely Csatari @Former user (Deleted) )

    • Reference Architecture table of contents

      • If we would like to be agile we need less standardisation

      • What if a new CNI is released after we fixed it?

      • Let's define only CNI capabilities ↔ define a list of CNI-s

    • Cloud native

  • Validation of the principles we have in RA2 (@Former user (Deleted))

    • Scope diagram:

      • It was asked if the genesis node is part of the RA → not

  • RI2

    • Where will it be implemented (OPNFV or other)? → we do not know yet. 

  • Validation of the different chapter content of RA2 (@Former user (Deleted))

  • Validation of gaps if we have any (@Former user (Deleted))

LFN OVP compliance and validation

  • Where is this going? What needs to be added, updated, and/or removed to support K8s based platforms? What about hybrid platforms? (@Former user (Deleted) )

  • Scoping of a RI-2 based on RA-2 (@Former user (Deleted))

  • ONAP collaboration with CNCF for test automation (@Lingli Deng )

ONAP TSC/CNCF TUG meetup (@Lingli Deng @Srinivasa Addepalli @Ramki Krishnan )

  • Moved to an other timeslot

  • New time and place to be added

  • We will also have monthly CNCF TUG - ONAP synch meetings

Motivations to use Kubernetes in telco (@Gergely Csatari @Former user (Deleted) )

  • Business agility

  • CNTT assumes that there is a need for a Kubernetes based RA

  • CNCF TUG WP could cover this in a motivation of telecoms to move to cloud native

    • Principle chapter have some of the motivations

    • There are some problem statements on the CNCF TUG Google Drive
