Topic Overview

Slides & Recording

Minutes

  • Release planing

    • Backlog of issues

    • Network orchestration

      • No solution as of today

        • There is an activity in the RM

        • #tug-networking-orchestration is also working on this

    • Multiple interface support

      • There are different approaches to provide multiple connections, not only CNI Multiplexers. Tungsten Fabric way and NSM way are also options

      • Let's investigate if we can find an optimal way to use multiple interfaces and have compatibility on descriptor level

      • Different clusters might have different multi interface support (this is a cluster capability what is not expressed to the external word)

    • Multitenancy

      • For hard multitenancy a separate cluster is needed

      • Support for "soft" multitenancy features within a cluster needed for isolation

        • Define what features we require in a cluster

        • Define a solution when different tenants are separated to different hosts

        • Solutions require network policy support from all components

    • More clarifications to acceleration (and SR-IOV)

      • How accelerators are handled with device plugins?

      • How the activation LCM works

      • @Petar Torre (Deactivated) volunteered to provide initial text

    • Cluster LCM

      • Is this in or out of scope?

      • 5 out of 16 voted for it

    • Listing of enabled / disabled features in alpha or beta status

      • Include relevant features as in RA2 Ch4

    • Define the Kubernetes version clearly

      • Now RA2 is not consistent on the Kubernetes version

    • Gap analyzis of requirements in Ch2

      • In the "Specification Reference " column we will have either a link to a specification in Ch4 or an N/A

      • Every pr affecting Ch4 should update also Ch2 references and vice versa

  • pr 2252
