A survey of 120 telecommunications providers found that 34% plan to procure best-of-breed components for their NFV infrastructure, management and orchestration, and virtualized network functions and do the integration themselves. Another 34% will take the same approach but use a systems integrator for integration. Reliability, security, and availability were viewed as the most important attributes of an NFV infrastructure platform.
OPNFV director Heather Kirksey and OPNFV TSC Chair, Chris Price discussed the approach the project took with the second release; what is new and different; the challenges of working upstream; and how the community is preparing the industry to move from NFV Proof of Concepts (PoCs) to NFV deployments.
Software supply chain management: Gaining velocity without losing controlmatthewabq
Competitive software organizations require high velocity production, operational efficiency, and continuous innovation – often achieved by sacrificing product quality, development process visibility, and corporate governance. As OSS consumption increases, such compromises are less acceptable as they render organizations blind to the building blocks comprising their software, thus accumulating technical debt and introducing risky defects. Learn how a holistic, automatable supply chain management approach to software improves product quality, OSS governance and mean-time-to-repair.
Findings Revealed: 2015 State of the Software Supply Chain Sonatype
Gain new insights on how to deliver higher quality software even faster -- with less unplanned, unscheduled rework. If you are using open source components as part of development you may be unknowingly sabotaging your efforts by introducing known vulnerabilities – shockingly there are 24 vulnerabilities in the average application. Hear the results of an extensive analysis of open source usage across 106,000 development organizations. We’ll be drawing analogies between modern software development and traditional manufacturing supply chains, focusing on proven steps to improve speed, efficiency and quality.

DevOps and All the Continuouses w/ Helen BealSonatype
DevOps promises to make better software faster and more safely and many organizations begin by practicing Continuous Integration and moving on to Continuous Delivery and sometimes even extending as far as Continuous Deployment - but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
DevOps demands a fundamental shift in the way we work and requires all participants in an organization to live its principles. It’s much more than a tool chain.
When you are delivering software in an Agile manner in fortnightly sprints, are you still funding in an annual manner? Are you adhering to The Third Way? I.e. are you practicing Continuous Experimentation? Continuous Learning? How are you doing Continuous Testing? Are you including security in that? Have you have Continuous Improvement in your organization for years? When does Continuous Everything turn into Continuous Apathy?

TST Working Group is the part of ETSI NFV ISG which investigates the testing, experimentation and open source aspects of ETSI NFV. The working group covers a wide area of topics from the definition of virtual machine metrics to the investigation of OpenStack API-s or organizing Plugtest events. This presentation provides an overview of the ongoing activities in the working group and highlights the possible connection points to OPNFV.
Ildikó Váncsa, Chris Price, and Carsten Rossenhövel's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Communications service providers (CSPs) have a wide range of options when building virtualized services from the ground up including multiple choices for each functional block in the ETSI NFV reference architecture. CSPs prefer heterogeneous systems with building blocks from different vendors including open source software; for such deployments interoperability becomes a crucial requirement.
OpenStack, as the NFVI and VIM, serves as a widely used cloud platform for telecom and NFV use cases. As a common base, OpenStack offers the means for vendors and other open source projects to ease the interoperability challenge by providing a set of open API’s while focusing on upgradeability and backward compatibility.
However, when it comes to productization, interoperability testing often falls short and is sometimes left to the carrier as shown by the testing programs actively run by no fewer than 10 organizations today.
Join Carsten Rossenhövel from the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) and the rapporteur (editor) of ETSI’s NFV interoperability standards, Ildikó Váncsa from the OpenStack Foundation, and Chris Price, Ericsson and OpenStack board director to learn more about

The Illusion of Control: Seven Deadly Wastes in Your Devops Practicematthewabq
Every software development organization on the planet has a software supply chain that is consuming a massive volume of open source and third-party components at extremely high velocity.
Those in DevOps who have pursued improved visibility, supplier choices, and control mechanisms across their software supply chains have boosted developer productivity by 15%, crumbled mountains of technical debt, and shifted millions of dollars from sustaining operations to accelerating innovation. Yet the vast majority of organizations developing software are blind to their free-for-all consumption volume, patterns, and velocity. Their software supply chain practices are silently sabotaging efforts to accelerate development, improve efficiency and maintain quality.
During this discussion, attendees will gain new visibility as to what’s happening in their own software supply chains, how to avoid the seven deadly wastes, and how leading organizations like ServiceNow, Blackboard, Aetna, the US Air Force, Federal Reserve and Department of Homeland Security are applying proven supply chain principles from other industries toward improving their DevOps practices.

Summit 16: Bridging Open Source & Open Standards - Oma Survey ResultsOPNFV
The traditional means of innovating the mobile network has been through the thoughtful and consensus based efforts of technologists working in a standards setting environment. However, the maturation of the Internet as an app platform and the related rise of Internet-enabled device and service providers, esp on the Web, have helped renew a focus on innovation and differentiation. The development of 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) will employ a process likely to be dominated by agile development of technology and platform prototypes often in open source, collaborative projects, which put a premium on "code first.†In March 2016, OMA launched an industry-wide survey to study attitudes and industry needs for better collaboration between the SDOs that build specifications, and Open Source communities that would like to use them. In this session, OMA will present the results.

NFV interoperability, for the success of commercial deploymentsOPNFV
Timo Perala, Nokia, Michael Wiegers, Ericsson
To further enhance Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) industrialization, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia announced Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create the NFV Interoperability Testing Initiative (NFV-ITI) last year December.
The main objective of NFV-ITI is to promote competition and create industry alignment on generic principles for NFV interoperability testing and support for specific customer situations. NFV-ITI will focus on testing interoperability configurations of commercial NFV solutions actually used in the communication services providers' networks. The initiative is open for ratification by any NFV vendor subscribing to the objectives of the MoU.
NFV-ITI will address NFV multi-vendor interoperability challenges for communication service providers, enabling them to optimize NFV deployment and integration costs, and reduce time-to-market for new services.
NFV-ITI will complement and heavily build on other industry interoperability activities, including but not limited to those of OPNFV, ETSI NFV Testing WG, and NVIOT Forum.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Incident ResponseLancope, Inc.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
