This document discusses Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and its relationship to OpenStack. It provides an overview of NFV and the ETSI NFV specifications. It describes how ETSI NFV defines the virtualization of network functions and services. It also discusses how OpenStack addresses some of the infrastructure requirements for NFV such as multi-hypervisor support, different virtualization models, and exposing network and resource functions. The document presents examples of how NFV would virtualize a media resource function and related descriptors. It concludes by discussing the relationship between ETSI NFV and OpenStack/OPNFV and their collaborative efforts.
Slides introducing NFV and what is done on the subject in OpenStack and explaining the benefits of 6WIND Gate in an NFVi setup with OpenStack. Presentation done with Vincent Jardin, CTO at 6WIND.
The Next Step ofOpenStack Evolution for NFV DeploymentsDirk Kutscher
NFV is now a well-known concept and in an early deployment stage, leveraging and adapting OpenStack and other Open Source Software systems. In the OPNFV project, a large group of industry peers is building a carrier-grade, integrated, open source reference platform for the NFV community. The telco industry has successfully adopted Open Source Software for carrier-grade deployments. It is now time for taking the next steps and to extend the colloaboration with upstream projects -- by opening up previously proprietary developments, by contributing code and other artifacts in order to create a ecosystem of NFV platforms, applications, and management/orchestration systems.
This talk shares some insights on how Red Hat and NEC are working together to foster collaboration in the NFV ecosystem by actively working with OpenStack and other upstream projects.
NEC has pioneered the adoption of Linux, KVM, Open vSwitch, and OpenStack for their mobile network core product line (virtualized EPC) and has gained significant experience through development work and deployments. NEC's extensions for high efficiency and high availability have led to contributions of new features to OpenStack, such as DPDK vSwitch control and CPU allocation features. For NEC, it is very important to have those features integrated into the mainstream code base for building reliable infrastructure systems.
Red Hat, one of main contributors to OpenStack, leads the development of those functions to meet NFV requirements in OpenStack, making critical and demanding applications run of top of open platforms. The presentation explains how NEC and Red Hat are integrating and optimizing Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and NFV, along with contributions to open source communities, including OpenStack and Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV).
If you missed my presentation at the SDN World Congress this week, here it is !
It explains how we analyzed the use of SDN based within an NFV environment. We picked the ITU model of Network resources, SDN controller and SDN applications and mapped those elements to the ETSI NFV architecture. Then we studied some design patterns, typical design of a network architecture with SDN and NFV, many different models. We also described SDN hierarchy and federation and collected lessons learnt from ETSI NFV POC using SDN and NFV. Finally we looked into few specific use cases such as Transport Network, or vCPE, but also policy. and last we looked into opensource SDN controller. We ended up with 35 recommendations that we are reviewing now in ETSI NFV to decide upon next steps. Comments welcome !
And if you want to see real life implementations, go and see HP NFV POC #34 and #38 in the POC Zone on site in Dusselfdorf this week Oct 8-16 2015 !

Presented at TM Forum Live ! on May 16th 2017
by Red Hat - François Duthilleul Telco Solutions Architect
For the past few decades, telecommunications networks have been built using closed-source monolithic products from network equipment vendors. Today, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are disrupting the way telecommunications networks are being built and operated and are gradually becoming the foundation of modern networking. The introduction of virtualisation, automation and orchestration provides the basis from which the networks will evolve towards a Zero-touch Orchestration, Operations and Management (ZOOM) target.
This presentation highlights the prominent role of open source and Red Hat’s portfolio in the implementation of future networks.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
