Cloud infrastructure and workload verification has a history in the telecom industry. As the workloads are dealing with extreme amount of traffic and/or extreme low latency requirements it is natural that they are more sensitive to their cloud platform than other applications. To decrease the cost of integration and expensive surprises during deployment there is a need to agree on what a telecom application can expect from its runtime environment and there is a need to certify if the applications expectations are correct and the platform can fullfill the expectations. Anuket defines a set of application requirements in its Kubernetes based Reference Architecture and plans to build the certification for it in its Anuket Assured certification program while CNCF announced in the 2022 KubeCon EU their CNF Certification program. While Anuket RA2 defines an opinionated Kubernetes distribution and its workload requirements ensure that the CNF is able to run in the distribution, the CNF Certification tests the adherence to cloud native principles. For a CNF vendor the ideal situation would be to run only one set of open source CNF certification tests, but due to the different targets of these certifications this is not the case today.
In this panel discussion the panelists presentation Georg and Gergely will discuss how these two communities should could work together to achieve a good collaboration between the initiatives, how to draw the limit of the testings scope and how to minimalize the testing overhead for CNF vendors. For this the panelists will need to find presenters will invite a set of key community members to disucss what is the common denominator of the tests and focus on the distinguishing parts. - Audience (Describe who the audience is and what you expect them to gain from your presentation.)

We plan to invite some key contributors form the CNCF CNF Certification program, Anuket Assured and Anuket RC2 programs and initiate a discussion in the last part of the panelpresentation.

The Open Source community tends to focus on Day 0 or requirements, but increasingly the telecom industry is looking for community to standardize operations and deployment activities.

- Abstract Title Cultural Transition: Open Source Across Telecom and Hyperscalers
- Abstract
As telecommunications is a backbone service to society the industry has been highly regulated since its inception. Thus Telcos must demonstrate a culture of high levels of operational availability, reliability, and recoverability in performance and cost management. Hyperscalers are relatively new entities in the communications space that leverage a more collaborative/adoptive culture with lesser concern for the operational efficiency. Open-Source specifications/code, and Hyperscaler partnerships can provide new features and greater capacities to their consumers with reduced time to market and lower capital costs. However, deltas between the operational efficiency culture of operators and the collaboration/adoption of hyperscalers could inhibit success on either side of the relationship. We posit that resolving conflict between cultures would allow consumer access to beneficial features that would improve the operator’s bottom line at a time when labor and cost challenges impact the industry’s overall growth and health.
In this discussion, we ask the question “How can Open-Source impact and affect culture to support telco industry growth and health?” We will explore insights and possible paths through the lens of a significant and multi-faceted telco hyperscaler partnership.
- Audience: anyone Involved with technology selection, deployment, management, and leadership in the telco industry
- Benefits to the Ecosystem Transforming the culture of the industry to a more trusting, collaborative, and adoption mentality will provide numerous benefits to all participants through the improving the speed of development and adoption. This will generally support lower cost of implementation.
