The document discusses the work of the ETSI NFV Interfaces and Architecture Working Group (IFA WG). It provides an overview of the MANO architectural framework, including basic concepts, the architectural framework diagram, and information model. It also maps the MANO components to IFA work items, such as specifications for reference points and interfaces. Finally, it shows how the VIM northbound interfaces are mapped to relevant OPNFV projects.
Distributed vnf management architecture and use-casesOPNFV
Sridhar Pothuganti, NXP, Trinath Somanchi, NXP
Telco operators are on journey to discover what virtualization means for the network. Markets have believed that NFV architecture elements: NFVI and VIM, hold the complete responsibility in providing virtualized networks with carrier grade properties.
Telco operators have reached to a conclusion that VNFs must take their fair share of responsibility to realize NFV goals while meeting carrier-grade behavior in the entire NFV architecture. While the trend moves on, Cloud native VNFs are emerging best citizens of the cloud. Thus communication from EMS to VNFM is blurred and eventually may disappear in the future. This requires better understanding of, and agreement over the role of VNFMs and EMS for VNFs.
This presentation describes the evolution of Distributed VNF management, Architectural design considerations and Use-case scenarios. The following proposal is based on a comprehensive study on evolving cloud native VNF management.

Pushing Packets - How do the ML2 Mechanism Drivers Stack UpJames Denton
Architecting a private cloud to meet the use cases of its users can be a daunting task. How do you determine which of the many L2/L3 Neutron plugins and drivers to implement? Does network performance outweigh reliability? Are overlay networks just as performant as VLAN networks? The answers to these questions will drive the appropriate technology choice.
In this presentation, we will look at many of the common drivers built around the ML2 framework, including LinuxBridge, OVS, OVS+DPDK, SR-IOV, and more, and will provide performance data to help drive decisions around selecting a technology that's right for the situation. We will discuss our experience with some of these technologies, and the pros and cons of one technology over another in a production environment.

How to Reuse OPNFV Testing Components in Telco Validation ChainOPNFV
Morgan Richomme, Orange
OPNFV provides lots of tooling that can be adopted and adapted to Service providers solution. These solutions are OpenStack based but not necessarily OPNFV solutions.
This session will detail how some components developed in OPNFV have been introduced in Orange Integration Center, an OpenStack based vendor solution including Contrail SDN controller and third party elements.
The best practices learned in OPNFV were used to design and build a CI chain including jenkins, functest, yardstick, the test API and the Test DB.
Morgan Richomme, Orange
Power consumption is a key driver of NFV. However very few projects deal with this aspect.
This session will detail a prototype realized in OPNFV Orange labs aiming to track power consumption during CI operations.
We could imagine that, if we generalize the information colelction to the Pharos community, we may get significative figures to establish power consumption profiles and why not try to get even deeper and get applicative profile using statistical tools
Hands-On Testing: How to Integrate Tests in OPNFVOPNFV
Jose Lausuch, Ericsson
I have developed and integrated a new feature but… how do I write test cases and where do I put them? How do I start?
These are common questions asked by developers bringing new features that need to be tested and verified in our CI pipeline.
Storage Performance Indicators - Powered by StorPerf and QTIPOPNFV
Yujun Zhang, ZTE Corporation, Mark Beierl, Dell EMC
StorPerf uses heat to create VMs with attached cinder volumes. The volumes are used *without* a file system (ie target=/dev/vdb). The FIO workload is run and stats collected every minute. When we get 10 samples in a row that fit within a certain range and slope, we say it is a valid measurement. This avoids false numbers due to Ceph balancing or other warm up. The metrics can be read after job completes, and there is an indicator to state if the volume metrics stabilized or not.
Storage QPI will be calculated based on the test results from storperf by QTIP. It aims to be a comparable indicator for storage performance among different platforms.
Big Data for Testing - Heading for Post Process and AnalyticsOPNFV
Yujun Zhang, ZTE Corporation, Donald Hunter, Cisco, Trevor Cooper, Intel
The testing community created tens of testing projects, hundreds of testing cases, thousands of testing jobs. Huge amount of testing data has been produced. What comes next, then?
The testing community puts in place tools and procedures to declare testcases/projects, normalize and upload results. These tools and procedures have been adopted so we now have lots of data covering lots of scenarios, hardware, installers.
In this presentation, we shall discuss the stakes and challenges of result post processing.
* How analytics can provide valuable inputs to the community, end users or upstream projects.
* How can we produce accurate indicators, reports and graphs, focus on interpreting / consuming test results.
* How can we get the best of breeds of our result mine?
Testing, CI Gating & Community Fast Feedback: The Challenge of Integration Pr...OPNFV
Jose Lausuch, Ericsson, Nikolas Hermanns, Ericsson
How can we make sure that new code in OPNFV does not break or stop CI?
How can we ensure quick feedback for each patch-set?
With the new way to snapshot a virtual deployment it is now possible to get virtual clouds up and running in about 2 min. In addition, through low amount of disk/cpu consumption and isolation of the networking it is possible to have a very high number of virtual deployments co-existing in the same bare-metal server.
How Many Ohs? (An Integration Guide to Apex & Triple-o)OPNFV
Dan Radez, Red Hat, Tim Rozet, Red Hat
The OPNFV ecosystem is made up of projects that need to integrate with each other. Project Apex uses Triple-o under the covers which most people usually need some assistance to integrate with.
Come and spend a session with the Apex development team learning the ins and outs of Triple-o.
In this session participants will learn about the deployment process that is run when an Apex/Triple-o deployment is executed and how to assign services to nodes and generate networking configurations withing Triple-o to successfully integrate and deploy a new component in OpenStack.
Come learn how to untangle the learning curve presented when integrating and using Triple-o and simplify your future development and deployment endeavors with a new found intimate knowledge of the Apex & Triple-o platform.
Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson, Yolanda Robla Mota, RedHat, Markos Chandras, SUSE
OPNFV has been working with the communities such as OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and fd.io as part of its Cross Community CI (XCI) effort in order to provide means for the developers to work with the latest versions of upstream components, cutting the time it takes to develop new features significantly and testing them on the OPNFV Infrastructure.
Apart from developing and testing new features, OPNFV XCI will enable developers to identify bugs earlier, issue fixes faster, and get feedback on a daily basis. This is a prerequisite for OPNFV in its CD & DevOps journey.
OPNFV aims to run XCI by reusing what other communities developed such as bifrost and openstack-ansible. While doing this, OPNFV intends to develop, maintain, and evolve OPNFV Infrastructure like how the other OPNFV projects do; upstream first. Whatever missing functionality and issues we identify in the components we use as part of our infrastructure and CI/CD toolchain, we strive to fix them directly upstream.
During this session, we will talk about the progress we have made so far, contributions we made to our upstream communities, and share our experiences. We will also highlight the key benefits of XCI for the community in order for developers to utilize the mechanisms, work with OpenStack master to implement new features and fix bugs using the toolchain XCI established.
Jose Lausuch, Ericsson
OPNFV provides different test frameworks which help developers to write new test cases. Those frameworks also borrow and integrate a variety of testing tools from other open source communities (OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Open-O, ...).
This session will go through all the tools that have been integrated so far in OPNFV and the cross community collaboration that has already started in Danube time frame.
Enabling Carrier-Grade Availability Within a Cloud InfrastructureOPNFV
Aaron Smith, Red hat, Pasi Vaananen, Red Hat
Carrier-Grade Cloud Infrastructure (Aaron Smith, Pasi Vaananen, Red Hat): The move from vertically integrated hardware and software to distributed execution in a cloud complicates the delivery of highly available services. Vertically integrated systems enabled all system layers required to communicate and participate in the support of availability of the service to be under control of single system vendor. With NFV, the cloud philosophy of infrastructure and application decoupling requires new open interfaces to support the necessary flow of information between layers and clear separation of the fault and availability management responsibilities between the infrastructure and application SW subsystems. Even in the cloud environment, traditional availability concepts such as fast detection, correlation, and fault notification still apply. A fast, low-latency fault management platform will be presented that allows cloud-based services to achieve 5NINES of availability and service continuity. Performance measurements from a prototype of the system will be presented along with a demo of the operation of a service requiring 50 ms fault remediation.
Learnings From the First Year of the OPNFV Internship ProgramOPNFV
Ray Paik, Linux Foundation, Serena Feng, ZTE
OPNFV launched its Internship program in Q1'2016, and there have been more than 10 interns around the world contributing to different OPNFV activities ranging from cross community CI, documentation, infrastructure, testing, etc. In this talk, there will be an overview of the OPNFV internship program that is different from more traditional internship programs and a discussion on areas for improvement that were identified. A community member who mentored two interns will also share her experience managing interns remotely and her advice for future interns & mentors. Finally, OPNFV interns will give a quick lightening round talk on their internship projects highlighting their contributions to the community. [NOTE: This is designed as a 60-minute session with interns' lightening round talks as 6-8 interns could be attending the OPNFV Summit. Presentations from Serena/Ray is expected to take about 20-25 minutes]
Juha Kosonen, Nokia, Mika Rautakumpu, Nokia
The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a collaborative community focused on redesigning hardware technology to efficiently support the growing demands on compute infrastructure. The designs have been optimized to lower cost of infrastructure and operations e.g. by removing non-essential components, disaggregating rack level solution with common resources, and simplifying server serviceability.
OpenStack provides the foundation for the NFVI and MANO components within OPNFV. OPNFV releases Colorado and recent Danube have been successfully integrated to OCP hardware and running smoothly. Also hardware acceleration is supported. The concept itself has gained a lot of interest from mobile operators, some of them are running OPNFV on top of OCP hardware in their test laboratories too.
This presentation will introduce how OpenStack, OCP and OPNFV open source projects fits perfectly together.
The Return of QTIP, from Brahmaputra to DanubeOPNFV
Yujun Zhang, ZTE Corporation, Julien Zhang, ZTE Corporation
QTIP project was suspended due to the changes in project team after Brahmaputra. Now it has returned to the community in Danube. Here is the story behind it.
- transfer from original team
- achievements in Danube
- intern projects
- vision for future
Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson, Jack Morgan, Intel
The OPNFV community relies on our community labs, CI and testing projects to ensure we release quality code. The current strategies to use hardware resources in OPNFV community labs will not be able to sustain its current growth. New strategies need to be implemented to allow for new OPNFV projects. The presenters will look at the current lab usage model and discuss ways already being worked in OPNFV community labs through the POD descriptor file. In our CI process through Dynamic CI, Cross Community CI and other initiatives. In our testing projects use of hardware resources and its importance in the release process. The presenters will show current tools used to track usage such as the Bitergia dashboard.
Run OPNFV Danube on ODCC Scorpio Multi-node Server - Open Software on Open Ha...OPNFV
Zhiqiang Yu, China Mobile, Huabin Tang, China Mobile
Open Data Center Committee (ODCC) is co-founded by Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, China Telecom, China Mobile, Intel, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). It is a non-profit industrial organization, focusing on researching open hardware such as server, data center and open network technologies to meet the growing demand on hardware in Chinese market.
Scorpio Multi-node Server is an ODCC project sponsored by China Mobile. It is a 4U size server chassis with 8 compute nodes or 4 storage nodes in maximum. It can also be mixture of different kind of servers, like 4 compute nodes and 2 storage nodes. Compared with traditional ATCA or Blade server, Multi-node Server's advantages include:
1.It is easier and cheaper to extend.
2.It has more choices for compute and storage nodes combination.
3.It is easier to maintain by engineers.
4. Even higher density.
5. 4U is more flexible than 10~14U Blade server.
OPNFV develops an integrated and tested open source platform that can be used to build NFV functionality. We are running OPNFV releases Colorado on Scorpio Multi-node smoothly and will try recent Danube on it in China Mobile’s Novonet (Next Generation Network) laboratory.
This presentation will introduce how OPNFV and Scorpio Multi-node server fit perfectly together. It's a fully open implementation of open software and open hardware.
Software-defined migration how to migrate bunch of v-ms and volumes within a...OPNFV
Kentaro Matsumoto, KDDI Corporation, Hyde Sugiyama, Red Hat, Inc
As telecom career, we KDDI have been managing thousands of physical servers and run various kinds of workloads. In our operation of such a huge environment, We are frequently required to shut down our servers for maintenance, but it is not easy to negotiate with our tenant users to allow downtime. To make it easier, we are developing the structure called "Zone Migration", using the framework of OpenStack project "Watcher". "Zone Migration" makes it possible to migrate tenants’ workloads from compute nodes and storage devices we want to maintain (source zone) to new blank ones (destination zone) efficiently, automatically, and with minimum downtime.
These requirements as follows are realized.
-A lot of VMs and volumes should be migrated within a limited time frame
-Operations should be automated, but also can be controlled manually
-Time and load of migration should be under control so that tenants’ systems will not be affected
We are proceeding with the project in cooperation with NEC and Red Hat, and developing this structure on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
Securing your nfv and sdn integrated open stack cloud- challenges, use-cases ...OPNFV
Sridhar Pothuganti, NXP, Trinath Somanchi, NXP
Network security and reliability are the most challenging tasks in any cloud. With NFV and SDN in place, Network Functions are virtualzied and network traffic is managed in separated control and data planes. Thus reducing the operational and capital expenditure. Virtualized Network Functions are tied with Software Defined Networks to boost the power of virtualization. This itself is challenging when Network services and security is a concern. While OpenStack is the best opted solution for IaaS, many service provides are moving towards best solutions to deal with service delivery and security challenges in SDN and NFV integrated OpenStack Cloud.
The Presentation outlines the challenges and proposes probable solutions for NFV and SDN integrated OpenStack Cloud.
My network functions are virtualized, but are they cloud-readyOPNFV
Ulas Kozat, Huawei, Yaoguang Wang, Huawei
In the first phase of telco-cloud vision, the physical network functions are targeted for virtualization and became Virtual Network Functions (VNF) decoupled from the specific hardware platform. As we dive into the second phase of the cloud era, the core need is to provide VNF implementations that can take advantage of what cloud has to offer in terms of utility based computing (a.k.a. scaling), availability, data durability, etc. To this end, we have been developing a VNF Performance Modeling framework for automatic characterization of a particular VNF implementation in terms of its cloud-readiness and its bottlenecks towards cloud-readiness. We will present the details of our performance modeling framework and show its utility based on the existing open source VNF implementations. The next frontier of telco-cloud vision is to develop cloud-native network functions and services. Thus, in the last part of our talk, we will cover the future evolution of the framework and discuss the needs, requirements, potential metrics for evaluating the cloud-nativeness of network functions.

Shuya Nakama, Okinawa Open Laboratory / NEC Solution Innovators, Eric Chang, Institute for Information Industry, Hideyasu Hayashi, Okinawa Open Laboratory and NEC Solution Innovators, Torii Takashi, NEC Corporation and Okinawa Open Laboratory
There are many countries in Asia region those have the motivation to innovate their telecom system and educate new technologies to young engineers. It is important how to encourage and involve these countries to OPNFV communities, and also educate to contribute to open source activities.
In these session, we will introduce our trial to the issue. Okinawa Open Laboratories (OOL) in Japan and Institute for Information Industry (III) in Taiwan, have been doing joint research activities in these years about SDN/NFV area, and this year, we have connected each testbed using OPNFV. Over the distributed testbed, we have started our POC of NFV use cases such as vEPC, vCPE etc. We also have communication with several research and academic organization in Asia region, so we would like to connect each country’s testbed and expand our testbed to Asia region.
There are many challenges, and we have learned from our experience, so in the session we will share the lessons learned from our trial. That will be good example for the whole community, and help progressing collaboration of global eco system.
Accelerated dataplanes integration and deploymentOPNFV
Tim Rozet, Red Hat, Feng Pan, Red Hat
This session will explore the challenges and lessons learned with integrating accelerated dataplanes into OPNFV deployments. More specifically the talk will focus on FD.IO (VPP) and OVS DPDK integration into Apex, including different types of configuration options, platform requirements, performance tuning, and deployment challenges. This talk will also provide context to how OpenStack functions differently with these types of dataplanes, and how integration with the OpenDaylight controller works.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
