0 likes•403 views
The number of production CI environments increased from 2 in Arno to 8 with Brahmaputra, each dedicated to a particular installer version (OPNFV flavor and scenario). In future in order to improve overall robustness of the platform production test resources should be independent from installers and scenarios. Furthermore testing between OPNFV deployments will be needed to ensure the promise of data-center interoperability. This presentation deals with mid and long term challenges of the OPNFV testing infrastructure.

Summit 16: How to Do a Pre-deployment NFVI Validation Quickly and Efficiently?
Implementing a real NFV solution is difficult, so we have the OPNFV platform. Building and deploying OPNFV platform is difficult, so we have the powerful installers. Now verifying the deployment platform suitable for VNFs is also difficult: different hardware/components/installers/SDN controllers/VNFs, what do we have? This presentation will first introduce the methodology of pre-deployment validation of NFVI which defined in NFV ISG standard, then show how to utilize yardstick's generic test suites to examine basic infrastructure metrics that reflecting the specific VNF type requirements, and last explain how to analyze the benchmarking data by using yardstick dashboard. A demo will also be provided to show the whole validation process clearly.
Summit 16: Stop Writing Legacy Code!
Unit testing is an important part of development, but does not always get the attention it deserves. In this session we will discuss how to write truly automated unit tests that run without any manual setup or special configuration, as well as producing Python code coverage reports within OPNFV Jenkins to ensure that the important paths are being tested. Additional topics include how to have code coverage part of the Gerrit review cycle to ensure compliance. Use of Python nosetest, mock and Coberatura code coverage will be discussed.
Summit 16: Deploying Virtualized Mobile Infrastructures on Openstack
Service Provider is evolving and competing with leaner Over the Top Providers (OTP) providers such as Google and Amazon to provide mobile services. Furture SP network has ot be agile, resilient and auto salable. SPs are leaning towards using COTS infra, open networking (OPNFV, ONOS) and VNF to run routers, switches, mobile gateways, firewall, NAT, DPI functions. Session covers design and deployment of virtualizing the mobile infra such as Virtual Evolved Packet Core, GiLAN and VoLTE as well as 5G core. We will also cover performance fine tuning using DPDK, SR-IOV etc. WE will present case study using Cisco (VNF Manager and NFVO), Redhat (NFVI), Openstack and block storage using CEPH technology. Participants will be able to understand complexities of mobile packet core, evolution NFV based solution and architecture framework for 5G mobile packet core.
Summit 16: Yardstick: Pre-deployment Tool
Yardstick is a pre-deployment validation tool that tests NFVI (Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure) compliance by generating test cases for various NFVI components like compute, storage, and networking. It aims to validate that the NFVI can meet requirements for performance, capacity, and reliability before VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) are deployed. The document outlines Yardstick's methodology of defining metrics and test cases for different VNF types and NFVI components. It also provides examples of generic metrics that Yardstick measures for NFVI components related to performance, capacity, and availability.
Summit 16: Carrier Grade Testing Integration
Brahmaputra included lots of possible combinations and created the concept of scenario. Continuous Integration allows testing of these combinations and produces lots of results. Functest, Yardstick and all the OPNFV test projects are in charge to create, integrate and run testcases. The production of lots of results for very heterogeneous tests is challenging for all the test projects. Lots of parameters are complex to manage (the POD, the installer, the scenario, ..), that is why success criteria are not always trivial to define. This presentation will explain how Functest & Yardstick are trying to address this complexity in test management.
Summit 16: Software Defined Operations: The UNIFY SP-DevOps Toolkit
UNIFY, a research project funded by the EU, released as open source a set of tools targeting operations and development in software-defined infrastructure and collectively known as the SP-DevOps Toolkit (URL). The SP-DevOps Toolkit includes an advanced network congestion detector, a scalable messaging bus that supports tenant isolation and aggregation, and a number of verification tools that address verification of VNFFGs both at a pre- and post-deployment stage. Furthermore, the project developed and publicly documented a set of workflows covering Observability, Troubleshooting and Verification aspects of software-defined infrastructure. The talk will examine the OPNFV Brahmaputra release, identify opportunities that could potentially be approached by hardened versions of the Toolkit tools and discuss how different OPNFV projects may be able to benefit from requirements supported by these tools as well as from potentially integrating or enhancing some of the tools themselves.

What are the limitations they have? What if I have a different VIM than OpenStack? What about K8? We need solutions that address next generation telco needs.
Software-defined migration how to migrate bunch of v-ms and volumes within a...
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.
Summit 16: The Hitchhiker/Hacker's Guide to NFV Benchmarking
The document summarizes benchmarking methodologies and tools for network function virtualization (NFV). It discusses standards from groups like ETSI and IETF, as well as open source projects from OPNFV. Traditional approaches to benchmarking physical network devices need to evolve to address virtual network functions (VNFs) and their supporting infrastructure. New methods are needed to test virtual switches, controllers, and other infrastructure components in NFV environments.
My network functions are virtualized, but are they cloud-ready
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.
How OPNFV Uses OpenStack & How It's Useful
OpenStack has been a part of OPNFV from the start and the OpenStack and OPNFV communities have strong areas of overlap. We will explain OPNFV from an Openstack and practical perspective, providing a specific example (SFC scenario) of how we are daily testing different components of OpenStack and other communities (ODL, OVS, etc). We’ll also talk about how OPNFV is useful to OpenStack because (hint: telco requirements & testing) and briefly describe several OPNFV projects which have contributed to OpenStack: NetReady, Multisite, Doctor, Cross CI, Copper, etc.
Open stack gluon + opnfv netready
OpenStack Gluon is a model-driven, extensible framework that enables telecom network operators to provide customers with NFV networking services on-demand by generating APIs from a YAML file which models the NFV Networking Service. We’ll give an overview of Gluon and share a demonstration that will show how Gluon enables quick development and accelerates deployment of new networking service APIs (a.k.a. Protons). We’ll also provide an overview of the OPNFV NetReady project, whose goal is to investigate how the current OpenStack networking architecture needs to be evolved in order to ensure that NFV-related use cases can be flexibly and efficiently supported.
Faster, Higher, Stronger – Accelerating Fault Management to the Next Level
Yujun Zhang, ZTE Corporation, Carlos Goncalves, NEC
Fault management is a component that allows operations teams to monitor, detect, isolate and automate the recovery of faults. With an efficient fault management system, countermeasures can negate the effects of any deployment faults, avoiding bad user experiences or violation of service-level agreements (SLAs). The OPNFV Doctor project has been developing fault management features that increases resiliency to cloud-based mobile platforms and provides system integration.
The OPNFV Doctor team continues improving its framework, not only making fault management more reliable but also faster to satisfy Telco requirements. The 4G mobile system demonstrated at the OpenStack Summit Barcelona keynote featured already a double-digit millisecond fault notification. The team has identified scalability issues in and between relevant OpenStack projects and in conjunction with other open-source software. We will share performance figures, how we continuously profile and red-flag unexpected results (e.g. performance regressions). Finally, we will present solutions to make the overall OpenStack-based fault management framework even faster.

Enabling Carrier-Grade Availability Within a Cloud Infrastructure
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.
OPNFV scenarios challenges and opportunities
OPNFV scenarios represent different variants of the NFV reference platform. The number of scenarios has increased each release, creating challenges around release effort and management. A process is needed to consolidate scenarios and manage their lifecycle. The presentation proposes defining generic scenarios that represent stable stack compositions and specific scenarios for experimental development. It also introduces scenario descriptors and relationships between scenarios to help organize and understand the different options. This approach aims to make scenarios and their capabilities more clear for users while keeping their number manageable.
Summit 16: Service Function Chaining: Demo and Usage
The document discusses a demonstration of service function chaining using OPNFV, including an overview of service function chaining and the network service header encapsulation, a demo network topology using OpenStack and OpenDaylight, and a use case applying a chain of services for parental control traffic classification and filtering. Additional reference materials are provided in the appendices about service function chaining specifications, the OPNFV SFC implementation, and an example use case diagram.
Summit 16: Achieving Low Latency Network Function with Opnfv
It's challenging to have low-latency VNFs in virtualization and cloud environment. OPNFV KVM4NFV project, together with other OPNFV projects like OVSNFV, helps to achieve low latency network functionality. This session will firstly introduce KVM4NFV project. Then some DPDK workload will be used to show how the KVM4NFV project helps reducing the packet latency and compare the result with and without OPNFV environment. In the end, experience will be shared on how to setup the OPNFV environment correctly, and how to tune the OPNFV environment to meet the latency and performance requirement.
Multisite OpenStack for NFV: Bridging the Gap
NFV infrastructure will be distributed across multiple geo-locations, to place workload close to the end user for better user experience, and introduce some cross -site requirements like service chaining, high availability and disaster recovery. There are gaps in OpenStack in such geo-distributed clouds such as:
Support VNF high availability across OpenStack
Support Multisite VNF geo site-disaster recovery
Single unified view for operators
Multi-site quota management
Sync tenant resources like images, ssh-keys, security groups
Policy driven VNF placements
Optimized resource utilization
Dynamic Service Functions Chaining across sites
Several projects like OPNFV Multisite, Tacker, Kingbird and Tricircle projects have collaborated to address the requirements for NFV. In this session, come learn about:
Need for multisite in NFV
Gaps in OpenStack
Existing projects and solutions
Gaps in these solutions and what different teams are doing to fix it

Enabling Carrier-Grade Availability Within a Cloud Infrastructure
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.
OPNFV scenarios challenges and opportunities
OPNFV scenarios represent different variants of the NFV reference platform. The number of scenarios has increased each release, creating challenges around release effort and management. A process is needed to consolidate scenarios and manage their lifecycle. The presentation proposes defining generic scenarios that represent stable stack compositions and specific scenarios for experimental development. It also introduces scenario descriptors and relationships between scenarios to help organize and understand the different options. This approach aims to make scenarios and their capabilities more clear for users while keeping their number manageable.

Summit 16: OPNFV on ARM - Hardware Freedom of Choice Has Arrived!
Freedom of choice is one of the key concepts in the SDN and NFV revolution we are seeing today. OPNFV is at the heart of this revolution yet very limited freedom of choice has existed on the hardware architecture side. However, with the work done in the Armband project, ARM servers are now an alternative hardware architecture for Brahmaputra deployments. The Armband team has ported the OPNFV Fuel Project to support deployments on ARM servers. The necessary code changes have been upstreamed through the OPNFV armband project. End users are now able to download or build their own Brahmaputra OPNFV ISO ready for ARM and install it using available OPNFV documentation. In addition to this and to further the OPNFV VNF ecosystem, a full specification OPNFV Pharos lab based on ARM servers was built by Enea for running continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD). In this presentation, we will walk you through the experiences gained in this process, the challenges and how they were overcome and what is coming next.

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 OPNFV
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 QTIP
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 Analytics
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...
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)
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.
Being Brave: Deploying OpenStack from Master
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.
Learnings From the First Year of the OPNFV Internship Program
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]
OPNFV and OCP: Perfect Together
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 Danube
The document summarizes the story of the OpenStack community project QTIP, which benchmarks OpenStack platform performance. It describes how the project started, paused for 3 months, and then a new team resumed it by taking over as project leaders. They improved committer policies, refocused the project scope, and successfully transitioned and released QTIP in the Danube cycle. Key lessons learned included communicating with the original team, understanding the original purpose, pivoting when needed, and refactoring bravely when necessary.
Improving POD Usage in Labs, CI and Testing
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.
Distributed vnf management architecture and use-cases
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.
Securing your nfv and sdn integrated open stack cloud- challenges, use-cases ...
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.

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.

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.
Crossing the river by feeling the stones from legacy to cloud native applica...
Doug Smith, Red Hat, Inc, Gergely Csatari, Nokia
There is an anecdote about a tourist lost in the middle of the countryside in Ireland, who pulls over and asks a local, "How can I get to Galway from here?" To which the local, after thinking for some time, responds, "If I was going to Galway, I wouldn't start from here at all."
Cloud native application development can feel like that sometimes, especially in the telecom industry. I have an application, it's running fine on a bare metal server, and now I am expected to make it resilient, scale-out, cloud native, microservice architecture, buzzword compliant. But how do you get there from where you are?
This presentation will present the hero's quest, identifying the key constraint to cloud resiliency at each stage, and identifying measures for addressing them. By showing the evolution story from the perspective of two applications, including a real telecom application, this presentation addresses the practical problems. The approach is not "rewrite your app from scratch", it is refactoring for incremental improvements.
Doug and Gergely will address the automation of application deployment and configuration, separation of state from behaviour, clustering, handling storage for cloud native applications, monitoring and event management, and container orchestration, so that, at each step along the journey, you know what problem you are solving, and how to get to the next step from where you are.
This presentation is in addition to a series of workshops held at the summit sponsored by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and organized by Dave Neary, and includes a short summary of the topics presented in those workshops in addition to the perspectives on how to complete the quest to cloud native applications.
OPNFV with 5G Applications
Juha Oravainen, Nokia, Tapio Tallgren, Nokia
In the future factory robots will communicate wirelessly and cars on the highways will exchange the information with each other. This requires extremely low latency mobile networks, known as 5G. This network will run on telco grade cloud platforms of which OPNFV is one example.
The first cloud radio access networks have already been deployed to operators. More is needed with future technologies/networks as more functionalities will be moved to the cloud. This talk tells what is needed to overcome low latency and high availability challenges with cloud platforms. At Nokia we are continuously evaluating the latest OPNFV SW on Nokia HW with radio VNFs to guarantee interoperability with open source components.

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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.
