| ViNePerf | Sridhar Rao | - Support for Kubernetes dataplane benchmarking - east-west traffic - is added.
- Two new tools (stress generator for kubernetes dataplane benchmarking and cloud information collector tool to automate the testing) are added.
- Support for building using newer version of DPDK/OVS-DPDK is added.
- Minor bug fixes (Qemu build, VPP Build, T-Rex)
| - The DPDK-Based East-West dataplane benchmarking, using traffic generators such as T-Rex and DPPD-Prox, will be extremely valuable for testing
- The two tools support automation of dataplane benchmarking in kubernetes environment.
- Support for newer versions of DPDK is very important to evaluate the switching based on that (DPDK)

| Thoth | Sridhar Rao | - 6 Models under VM failure prediction is included (4 LSTM-variations, CNN and Decision Tree).
- Two research studies (ML Problems and Techniques for NFV and OSS projects for ML in NFV) are included.
- Two tools (Model Selector and Data Extractor) are included.
| - ModelSelector suggests the best model to start with, based on the data and problem in hand. This can be very useful and save significant time to the users.
- The research studies gives the thorough information about the state-of-art for ML in NFV.
- The Virtual-Machine FP models improves the performance compared to the existing models.

| Anuket Kubernetes Reference Architecture | Riccardo Gasparetto | - Added CNF workload guidelines, aligned with CNCF CNF certification test list
- added CNF packaging specifications
- Added Edge Cloud Hardware requirements
- Updated to Kubernetes 1.23
- Added Host OS requirements
| - Enables CNF providers to follow industry guidelines to ensure containerised workloads follow cloud native best practices and can run on Anuket compliant cloud infrastructure. These CNFs can be then easily deployed by operators.
- Standardised deployment practices include packaging.
- Relaxes strict requirements on hardware performance allowing constrained edge deployments - important for 5G.
- Kubernetes 1.23, the latest supported release of Kubernetes, includes important new features relevant to telcos such as IPv4/IPv6 Dual-stack, HorizontalPodAutoscaler v2 and Generic Ephemeral Volumes. Support is also extended until Dec. 22.
- Host OS requirement allow cloud providers to identify the minimum OS & kernel capabilities required to run Anuket compliant Kubernetes platforms, and leverage the latest security and other improvements.
