Bringing Order to the Chaos – Platform and Workload Conformance for Cloud Native Telco Applications

• Type: Panel
• Panelists: Rihab Banday , Georg Kunz , Gergely Csatari (will submit) , Taylor?, Bill?
  
• Abstract: 

  Stable platform APIs and capabilities are key for application portability across platforms. One of the key success factors of the Kubernetes project has been to define stable APIs by means of the K8s conformance project. Telco workloads, often referred to as Cloud Native Network Functions (CNF), impose a few specific additional platform requirements. In CNCF, the Telco User Group and the CNF Working Group are addressing this challenge by defining best practices for building CNF-s based on use cases. The LFN Anuket project is complementing this effort by building on top of these CNCF projects by specifying cloud infrastructure and matching workload properties and by leveraging CNCF tooling to build reference implementations and conformance test suites.

  In this panel we will discuss how these projects are complementing each other and how the two teams work together to jointly support the telco industry on their journey to adoption of cloud native principles.
