OPNFV, later CNTT and Anuket were formed with the idea in mind to decrease the integration costs of cloud applications and clouds. OPNFV intended to build integrated cloud stacks, at that time only based on OpenStack, which would become the de-facto cloud stacks of the telecom industry, so every VNF would know what to expect from it. OVP provided a verification program around it. The integrated OPNFV stack did not really become the de-facto cloud stack of telecom workloads and only a small number of NFVI or NFV vendors verified their solutions with OVP. Then CNTT was formed. The idea of CNTT was to specify the properties of the cloud stacks, this time both OpenStack and Kubernetes, and build a certification framework for clouds and their workloads. Then CNTT and OPNFV merged under the name of Anuket. OPNFV stacks became the Anuket reference implementations, the OPNFV test frameworks and tools used for the Anuket reference conformance program and OVP became Anuket Assured. During this time, CNCF started to build the CNF Testbed to test infrastructure capabilities needed for networking applications. CNCF created the CNF WG to define the characteristics of CNF and the CNF Testsuite implemented a set of CNF tests. In its Moselle release, the Kubernetes based reference architecture in Anuket adopted most of the application tests from the CNF Testsuite as application requirements. In KubeCon EU 2022 CNCF announced their CNF Certification program based on the tests defined in the CNF Testsuite.
...
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 presentation Georg and Gergely will discuss how these two communities 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 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.)
...
Due to the flexibility of cloud platforms and the sensitivity of CNF-s the integration of CNF-s and their platforms is a continuous issue. The industry tries to address this with different conformance programs, but that only makes the CNF vendors life more difficult. This session attempts to explain the current situation and trigger a discussion to make this situation better. This panel is about the collaboration of these certification programs.

Cost Benefits of Building an Open Reference Cloud Native Platform for Telco Cloud
- Abstract
Kubernetes-based Reference Implementation (RI2) is a project in LFN Anuket which focuses on providing reference k8s based Telco Cloud infrastructures for Telco Providers, Telco Cloud vendors and CNF software vendors. As a bridge of providers and vendors, RI2 gives providers a reference platform to test and choose both commercial Cloud infrastructures and CNFs running on it. Also it serves as a reference platform for Cloud vendors and CNF vendors to develop and test against. With this bridge, both providers and vendors can reduce the time and cost for developing, testing and integrating Telco Cloud infrastructures and CNFs. In this session, Dan Xu and Scot will give an introduction about what RI2 is, how to use RI2 to deploy a reference k8s based Telco Cloud infrastructure on bare metal and virtual machine, what’s new in Anuket Nile release, and what benefits users can get from RI2. Also will give a demo about how to use the tool kuberef to setup the k8s infrastructure on Baremetal.

- 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.
