Anuket Outreach Taskforce

Need to  create a sub-committee / working group for outreach specifically. Anuket Ambassadors?

OVP Brand Evolution

Jim needing proposal for CVC/OVP. Suggest Anuket MWG to develop a position on OVP Brand Evolution. Post Launch, OPNFV brand will be largely defunct. Need a proposal for the community.

Initial Recommendation: Translate OVP into AVP (and build other project/org support (e.g. ONAP, CNCF, GSMA) into supporting messaging. "Anuket Assured"? 

Take to LFN MAC & CVC for review / endorsement. Need to have conversations with ONAP. Who? Heather to follow up with Kenny/Trevor Lovett. 

Caterogies:

  • AA Platform
  • AA Network Functions
    • VNF
    • CNF
    • Kernel

Anuket or LFN Brand focus?

DRAFT STATEMENT

As the OPNFV project no longer exists, the Anuket Marketing Working Group and LFN MAC endorse the naming/branding evolution from "OPNFV Verification Program" (official name of the program) and "OPNFV Verified" (official name on the badge) to "Anuket Assured" for both program name and name on the badge. The badge will also incorporate the Anuket branding elements, e.g. the wavy lines. We feel that the Anuket project, is well positioned to represent the testing and integration work required for program conformance and verification and that the Anuket Assured brand can serve as the anchor for other participating projects. Existing OVP badge holders will be encouraged to resubmit their applications to become Anuket Assured using an Anuket release designated by the LFN Compliance and Verification Committee (CVC). Existing group documentation will be reworked and the program launched on a new web portal in 1H2021.

Anuket Performance Testing. What's the status?

Benchmarking, etc. Difficult to set minimum bar but threshold testing possible. Sub-aspect of brand, .eg. AA means X, Y, Z. Results would be confidential but generating data for participants useful. Vendor concerns: Did not want to expose data results to operators. Thorny. Idea: AA Benchmarking Suite: Overarching brand for program, short WP on benchmarking considerations, here's how you test on your infrastructure. A set of test suites to run against. Use our test suites in your own labs. Benchmarks help ensure that you are not regressing in terms of performance while moving off of proprietary boxes to virtualization to cloud infrastructure. 


Elbrus Update

Date? Link?

Should be done today / Monday. Walter Blog post? Brandon/Jill to follow up with Walter. When ready, add to Anuket.io blog and link to Elbrus Wiki page. Jim to advise on link.

Future naming convention open. Continue with Mountains, switch to rivers?

MWG Recommendation: Switch back to rivers and pick up where OPNFV left off. Brandon to share MWG with David (Release manager).
