Founding LFN projects FD.io, OpenDaylight, ONAP, OPNFV are all represented while PNDA and SNAS are considering a multiple-project analytics demo for Open Networking Summit Europe this fall. A great example of inter-project collaboration is the Cross-Community Continuous Integration (XCI) demo that establishes a new framework for telco use cases that simplifies end-to-end testing and integration by giving developers full control over components and versions to use while creating various combinations of an integrated stack. End users will also benefit from learning how the OPNFV Doctor project has built something completely new in open source with a framework to perform infrastructure maintenance and upgrades with zero virtual network function (VNF) downtime by scaling down applications and utilizing capabilities of the underlying compute nodes with OPNFV software running on OCP hardware.
Cloud-native, containerized VNFs are an industry hot topic and will be on display in multiple demos. Folks from the FD.io project will show how to create cloud-native VNFs using Ligato and compare their performance and scale to VNFs deployed in other environments. Containers are a crucial vehicle on the path toward edge computing and the folks from the Container4NFV project in OPNFV will present a high-performance container cloud solution for edge computing on the Arm platform.
Automation and orchestration will also take center stage as ONAP Amsterdam will be used to design, orchestrate and manage VoTLE — a complex end-to-end real-world service composed of multiple VNFs from different vendors based on the ETSI NFV architecture. ONAP and Kubernetes will also be demoed together in the CNCF booth, showing the best of network automation and cloud native orchestration by enabling ONAP deployments to any public, private, or hybrid cloud.
Listed below is the full networking demo lineup:
To all the demo managers down in pit row with the greasy hands, thanks for your hard work pulling these together. To everyone else, we’ll see you at the race.
