  2. Dataset related to these problems.
  3. ML Models used by these existing works.
  4. "Novel problem"  - Not yet considered by any existing works - or a better technique to an existing problem.

Cloud-Native - Observability is kind of 'Default', even Tracing is common. This results in generating lot of Data and analysis of this data is a hot topic. Are there any ML problems ?

4Openstack Inputs

Ildiko

Apart from CNTT "specification" around Openstack - how it should be used - there isn't any.

Openstack - Ironic-based Baremetal cloud, and from there it can be K8S.

Openstack - Zune : Orchestration of Containers.

5ModelSelector - Phase2

Based on Inputs from smcasey

Current State: Ask users a bunch of questions and then based on the answer decide which tool to use.

Proposal: Build (reuse existing) framework that has 'implementations' of all these models, and collect sample data from user (and the problem) and run through this framework (select set of models) and then decide which model to use based on the 'performance-metric'. This will result in better suggestion/estimation of a 'model-to-use'.

This could be used for MaaS.
