FD.io Mini Summit

Mini Summit Details - SOLD OUT

FD.io (Fast Data) is the first truly open data plane project focusing on data IO performance, scalability, efficiency, and programmable flexibility for networking and storage. FD.io provides a modular, extensible user space IO services framework that supports rapid development of high-throughput low-latency resource-efficient IO services. The design of FD.io is hardware, kernel, and deployment (bare metal, VM, container) agnostic. FD.io has been integrated with OpenStack Neutron, OpenDaylight, and Calico to provide a drop in upgrade for all of your dataplane needs. A key component of FD.io is the Vector Packet Processing (VPP) library contributed at the foundation of the project. The commercial-ready code targetable to run on standard x86, ARM, and Power servers is already running in products on the market today. VPP when connected to DPDK for network IO has shown to perform two orders of magnitude faster than currently available open source options implementing switching or routing workloads, reaffirming one of the core principles of FD.io: a focus on performance.

Join us at the FD.io Mini Summit to hear and learn from FD.io community experts who will be sharing information about the projects, use cases, capabilities, integration between FD.io and OpenStack/ODL/OPNFV/Other communities,  tools and many more exciting topics. This is a great opportunity for the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon attendees to share their thought leadership and innovations at one of the industry’s premier events. 

Tuesday, December 5
Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Meeting Room 10C, Level 3 at ACC
Registration Cost: Free - $50 no show fee*

 

*No Show Fee - Note that while FD.io Mini Summit is free to attend, anyone that is a no-show onsite will be charged $50 for each event not attended. This helps us in planning accurately for the event.

Container Networking with ONAP - Sold Out

Workshop Details

Telecom providers as well as many enterprises are partway through a transition to a cloud-native environment, where the need for speed is all-consuming. But the agile orchestration of the supporting infrastructure remains a challenge for many.

In February 2017, The Linux Foundation introduced the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP), to enable network operators to automate, design, orchestrate, and manage virtual network functions and end-to-end network services in support of distributed applications. 

This workshop is designed to bring together networking and cloud application developers to discuss their needs, ideas and aspirations for automating the deployment of secure network services on demand.

Date: Tuesday, December 5
Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Meeting Room 3, Level 1 at ACC
Registration Cost: Free - $50 no show fee*

*No Show Fee - Note that while ONAP Mini Summit is free to attend, anyone that is a no-show onsite will be charged $50 for each event not attended. This helps us in planning accurately for the event.

Workshop: Automating Networks in a Container World

9:00 – 9:10 Welcome & Intro Phil Robb, The Linux Foundation
9:10 – 9:50 Overview & Discussion: Networking & Containers: Where Are We Now? Challenges, Opportunities Xuan Jia, China Mobile
9:50 – 10:20

How Networking Will Be Transformed by DevOps

The rollout of networking services has traditionally followed a very rigorous, but time-consuming process to ensure “carrier grade” service quality. As the networking industry moves to Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and software-based architectures, how do they keep the same service quality while gaining the benefits of reduced cycle times? In this talk, we’ll take a look at how ONAP is applying DevOps techniques throughout the service lifecycle, and discuss opportunities for ONAP to leverage more cloud native concepts.

Jason Hunt, IBM
10:20-10:30 Break  
10:30 – 11:00

NFV in the Enterprise (Panel)

The Enterprise and Telco networking approaches have historically been quite different in their choice of technology stacks, processes, security, languages and many more aspects. Where the approach to networking in the enterprise has largely remained unchanged over the course of the last two decades, the cloud native revolution has created a tectonic shift in the way networking concepts are now applied in the Telco world, that are moving into cloud, DevOps and open source practices. This can be seen through large-scale open networking projects like ONAP, OpenDaylight, OSM. The enterprise has started to understand the changes that need to be applied - however, Enterprise NFV is in its very early stages, whereas network virtualization in the telco world is reaching levels of maturity, stability and production-readiness.

The move to distributed cloud - edge computing, IoT, distributed security practices - will impact both enterprises and telcos. This panel will dive into how these shifts will affect both enterprise and Telco IT infrastructure, such as:

  •  Will these ultimately converge? 

  •  Will telcos become yet another enterprise? 

  •  How will both sides be able to compete with new cloud native enterprises like Amazon, Facebook and Google offering competitive services?

The answer may lie with NFV and the open source networking projects being applied in the telco industry.

 

 
11:00 – 11:30

Open Source Cloud Native NFV Operations Management & Security: ONAP Perspective

This session analyzes the various Cloud Native NFV deployment options from a Management, Security and Open Source lens. With this background, this session discusses key architectural aspects for a comprehensive ONAP operations management solution. It serves as a single platform for deployment of containerized ONAP components using K8s on VM-based and Bare metal hosts. VM-based hosts provide proven HW security/isolation, especially for open source components, and a HW agnostic programming layer. It simplifies workload management by enabling deployment of containerized applications including VNFs and VM-based VNFs in the same cloud instance with secure policy controls. This session demonstrates this architecture in an unconference multi-vendor demo where a VMware VIO 4.0 Cloud instance runs in the core data center hosting the ONAP components and vDNS VNF and a Wind River Titanium Cloud instance runs in the edge data center and hosts the vFW VNF.

Ramki Krishnan, VMware and Sastry Isukapalli, AT&T
11:30– 12:00

Toward Container Support As VNF-based Cloud Infrastructure

This session is on how ONAP can/should adopt Kubernetes. Traditionally
ONAP assumes cloud infrastructure will run VNFs on VMs. Since the concepts around containers are very different from VMs, there are many gaps. We will show status update of the effort and discuss how Kubernetes can/should fit in ONAP architecture, the relationship with other ONAP components, especially with the Multi-cloud project. APIs for other ONAP components to consume and planned model-driven APIs and TOSCA specifications.

Isaku Yamahata, Intel
12:00 – 12:40

Overview & Discussion: Security In The Modern Virtualized Data Center

This session discusses key architectural aspects for a comprehensive network operations management solution. ONAP provides a model for examining the security considerations of the virtualized data center.  It serves as a single platform for deployment of containerized ONAP components using K8s on VM-based and bare metal hosts. VM-based hosts provide proven HW security, especially for open source components, and a hardware-agnostic programming layer. It simplifies workload management by enabling deployment of containerized applications including VNFs and VM-based VNFs in the same cloud instance with secure policy controls.

Gadi Naor, Alcide and Phil Robb, The Linux Foundation
12:40 – 1:45 Lunch (provided)  
1:45 – 2:15

Open Source Multi-Cloud Orchestration for Kubernetes with a Single Provider

When a user wants to build a cluster, they tell Kubernetes to use a specific Cloud Provider, which is built into Kubernetes. Recently, Kubernetes decided that native Cloud Providers are not a good idea, so they are in the process of externalizing them, allowing users to create their own Cloud Providers instead of Kubernetes-native ones.

Using a TOSCA-based open source, multi-cloud orchestration tool as the Cloud Provider enables users to create a distinction between the "Cloud Brand" and their "IaaS", enabling:
- Easy-to-build custom clusters
- Multi-account/multi-tenant/multi-cloud/bare-metal clusters
- Ability to customize the Cloud Provider infrastructure

In this talk, Trammel will present the Kubernetes Provider concept and how multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments can be made simpler for users by treating the orchestration tool as the infrastructure provider.
