Help lead the conversation on open source software-defined storage and share your knowledge.

Why Attend?

• Learn about the latest trends in SDS and open source technologies
• Talk with leading experts to learn how to start, implement, and scale your SDS environment
• Network with peers on best practices and case studies
• Hear from other community members and contributors on what workloads they are using for SDS
• Learn to how to overcome the pitfalls of SDS
• Gain a competitive advantage by learning about the latest trends of SDS

Cloud-native Network Functions (CNF) Seminar

Date: August 28, 2018
Time: 1:30 – 4:30pm
Learned Focus: Telcos are engaging on how their Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) could evolve into Cloud-native Network Functions (CNFs) running on Kubernetes.
Designed for: Cloud Architects, Network Architects, and Developers
Registration Cost: There is no charge for the seminar but it is capacity controlled. If you attend, please be willing to speak up.

Two of the fastest-growing Linux Foundation projects – ONAP (part of LF Networking) and Kubernetes (part of CNCF) – are coming together in the next generation telecom architecture.

Telcos are engaging on how their Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) could evolve into Cloud-native Network Functions (CNFs) running on Kubernetes. This interactive seminar will be co-moderated by LF Networking GM Arpit Joshipura and Cloud Native Computing Foundation executive director Dan Kohn. Among topics we plan to discuss:

• Differences and similarities: networking & cloud native terminologies explained side by side.
• Deeper dive into Telecom Services: Migrating & Automating Network Functions to Virtual Networking Functions to Cloud-native Network Functions (CNF)
• Overview of Sub-Projects focusing on this migration, including Cross-Cloud CI, ONAP/OVP, FD.io/VPP etc.
• What is the role for a service mesh like Envoy, Istio, or Linkerd in connecting together CNFs with load balancing, canary deployments, policy enforcement, and more.
• What is involved in telcos adopting modern continuous integration/ continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools to be able to rapidly innovate and improve their CNFs while retaining confidence in the reliability.
• What are the differing security needs of trusted (open source and vendor-provided) code vs. running untrusted code. What’s the role for security isolation technologies like gVisor or Kata?
• How does CNI fit in? How does VPP/Ligato fit in?
• What are the requirements on the underlying OS?
• What are strengths and weaknesses of different network architectures such as multi-interface pods and Network Service Mesh?
• What is the status of IPv6 and dual-stack support in K8s?
