Intel Network Builders Summit: Key Lessons from an advanced multi-vendor NFV ...Kiran Sirupa
A leading Tier-1 Operator in APAC was evaluating new technologies to deliver enhanced managed network services for its Enterprise customers. With the growth in the demand for these services driven by the region’s growing consumption of web-based content and applications, the full-fledged telecommunications company embarked on an initiative to enhance the capacity and capabilities of its managed network services, with the aim of positioning itself as the best-in-class provider of next-generation cloud data center services.
As part of this transformation, the Operator identified NFV-based intelligent service orchestration, leveraging SDN and NFV technologies to pioneer the development of a portfolio of managed network services and invited vendors to participate in a Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate solutions that will be able to deliver these capabilities.
In response to the initiative, Anuta Networks in collaboration with the Tier-1 Operator, HPE and Logicalis, a leading IT solutions and managed services provider, conducted a PoC that saw the company validating the first end-to-end Managed Network Service Delivery using the IETF YANG Modeling Framework.
The PoC saw the deployment of Anuta Networks' NFV Orchestrator and VNF Lifecycle Manager - Anuta NCX - which provides carrier-grade NFV orchestration for instantiating, managing, and chaining Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in accordance to IETF’s Management and Orchestration (MANO) guidelines. HPE provided the NFVI including Helion OpenStack, HP Compute, HPE Virtual Router (VRS) and HPE DCN SDN (OEM version of ALU Nuage VSP) controller.
First of its kind, the highly successful PoC demonstrated capabilities of Anuta Networks via its NCX solution to deliver carrier-grade NFV orchestration while dynamically and intelligently provisioning computing, storage and networking resources to enable the Tier 1 Operator to efficiently deliver next-generation cloud services to clients across the region.

VMware NSX + Cumulus Networks: Software Defined NetworkingCumulus Networks
Witness the enablement of a true integration of a virtual network platform and an underlay physical network for a scalable data center orchestration, automation and multi-tenancy solution over high-capacity IP fabrics. With the integration of VMware NSX Layer 2 gateway services on networking hardware running Cumulus Linux, customers can now connect virtual workloads to physical workloads with no performance impact.
In this session we explore the future of new network services and how Universal CPE (uCPE) is used by service providers to combine many separate fixed-function network elements with a single multi-function device. Using virtualized network function software (VNFs) on Universal CPE, providers have a consistent and flexible foundation they can build on to offer new SD-WAN, SIP Trunking, and other services while improving network security with SBC and firewall VNFs.

Faced with the dual threats of rising operating costs and declining revenues, network service providers are increasingly turning to network functions virtualization (NFV) to help them keep up with constantly changing market conditions.
In a virtualized Telco environment, service providers can deploy and deliver new network functions, services and capacity on demand—reducing normal rollout time from months and weeks to just hours.
Leveraging the principles of cloud computing, network service providers can deliver a level of responsiveness never before available, easily scaling capacity up or down to meet the evolving needs of their subscribers.
The result is a highly agile system that allows new revenue-generating services to be quickly developed, exhaustively tested and selectively rolled out to targeted groups in a fraction of the time and at a much lower cost than previously thought possible.
In this session, the speaker will present how the solution from Juniper networks look like and how it can be deployed by service provider to improve their agility in delivering services to their customers.

The complexity of these functions at Line Rate, have been traditionally handled by ASICs and NPUs. However with the availability of faster and cheaper CPUs and hardware/software accelerations, it is possible to move these functions onto commodity hardware. This tutorial will talk about the various building blocks available to speed up packet processing both hardware based e.g. SR-IOV, RDT, QAT, VMDq, VTD and software based e.g. DPDK, Fd.io/VPP, OVS etc and give hands on lab experience on DPDK and fd.io fast path look up with following sessions. 1: Introduction to Building blocks: Sujata Tibrewala

Mobile edge computing delivers cloud computing at the edge of the cellular network to drive services quality and innovation. The ability for CSPs and ISVs to effectively develop, deliver, and deploy MEC services on a given platform directly correlates with the availability and maturity of associated tools and test environment. Dronava is a hyper-connected, web-scale network reference design for the 5G mobile network, suitable for use as a test and development socket for cloud applications developed for MEC platforms with tools such as the Intel NEV SDK. With Dronava, developers can drive the application with real traffics from the network edge to the EPC core, and if need be, connect with services in the core network in order to fully characterize the functionalities, latency, and throughput of the platform and application.Teranium is an integrated development environment that simplifies the development, packaging, and deployment/management of cloud applications. Teranium can be utilized to develop and deploy MEC applications on a number of platforms. Together with Dronava, Teranium helps to reduce complexity and improve efficiency in the ability of CSPs and ISVs to adopt and deploy MEC-base services.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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!

computing hardware coupled with NFV software can be leveraged to reduce capital expenditures
for dedicated networking hardware by leveraging the diminishing costs and increasing scale
of multi-core processors combined with high-density network adaptors. While NFV offers many
benefits to network and data center operators, there is an abundance of uncertainty in selecting
technologies, configuring infrastructure, optimizing performance and hardening for security. The
flexibility NFV promises also increases the number of permutations that must be considered in
a nearly exponential fashion. One not only has to test the virtual network functions but also the
virtual infrastructure on which the virtual machines are hosted. The functionality and performance
of the virtual network function are deeply dependent on the predictability of the NFV infrastructure.
Spirent TestCenter Virtual delivers high rate layer 2-7 functional and performance testing of virtual
and physical network resources by generating simultaneous LAN unicast, multicast, and VLAN
traffic along with SAN IO as well as, stateful application protocols such as HTTP and FTP.
