Plenary - Reference CNF development journey and outcomes

  • Short Description:  Deep dive session for sharing lessons learned during the testing and implementation of a CNF.

  • Detailed Description: Transforming VNFs to CNFs requires many considerations. Some of them are related with the architecture of the application (e.g. use of micro-services instead of monolithic architecture) and others refer to the proper usage of the container's toolset (Docker, Docker-Compose, Kubernetes, Multus, Flannel, Helm, etc.) . This session covers lessons learned discovered during the implementation and validation of the go-gtp CNF used by the CNCF Testbed project. The audience will get familiar with the CNF used along this journey. The relevant resources such as Helm charts and images will be shared so they might be used as a reference model for a CNF by some of the LFN projects dealing with CNF on-boarding and orchestration. People from the ONAP, OPNFV and CNTT communities might find this information relevant to their projects.

Plenary - Cloud Native in Telecom Cloud

Plenary - OVP Status and Evolution

  • Short Description:  Provide an update on the current status of the OVP programs and discuss some key topics on the evolution of the programs.

  • Detailed Description: Provide an update to the community on the current status of the OVP programs and the latest 2019.12 release, followed by discussions of open questions for the evolution of the programs.  Questions / Discussions: 1) Some operator participants have suggested updates to the review process and teams may help encourage more vendors to participate in the programs, by limiting expose of test results to competitors.  How can we evolve the programs to best meet the needs of the participants, while protecting their investments in their implementations?  2) As the programs evolve, there may be more optional test cases or levels of testing, especially within the Cloud Native testing of CNFs.  In these cases, how should the listings of the programs evolve to enabled external viewers to clearly understand what has been tested for each badge? For example, should a "badge record" include some type of report or documentation of what test cases were run? 3) How to deal with previous releases of OVP, and how "long" of a tail should be officially supported?
