      • Please start forming teams and adding topic to 2020 October Virtual Technical Event Topic Proposals#2020OctoberVirtualTechnicalEventTopicProposals-OPNFV/CNTTTopics

  • Agenda 

    1. Baraque:

       • Status update and readiness plan for Baraque release

       • Plan for  handover  to GSMA

    2. Telemetry requirements and guidelines for VNF/NFVI (added by Sukhdev)

  • CNTT Marketing is asking us for some talking points about Reference Model in the Baraque release, which they need to promote this release.  I gave him some points (see below). 

    • In Baraque release we focus on making RM technology agnostic to cover both VM-based virtualisation as well as containerisation of network functions.

    • We augmented the model to allow co-existence of different Cloud Infrastructure deployments in line with the evolving technology.

    • To enable the co-existence, a new important element was added to RM: Hardware Infrastructure Manager (HIM) which can allow different virtual infrastructure implementations simultaneously using the same share hardware infrastructure.  CNTT started a collaboration with ODIM on the definition of HIM   (possibly using RedFish).

    • We expanded network and storage discussion within RM, clarifying distinction between the virtual and hardware layers within networking and storage.

    • Baraque version of RM will be handed over to GSMA Networking Group (NG), where it is planned to be published as a GSMA NG PRD (Permanent Reference Document). 

    • The on-going maintenance of this PRD and hence  the collaboration with the CNTT RM will be a responsibility of a newly formed subgroup under GSMA NG called OITF (Open Infrastructure Task Force). In the course of this collaboration, several CNTT RM contributors registered as the members of OITF.
