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
