| Project, Workstream, or committee | Best contact for followup questions (Use @ notation) | What has changed? | Why is this significant/beneficial to a user/consumer of Anuket? | Notes, links to more information, etc. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reference Model | Walter.kozlowski | Updated contents in Hardware Infrastructure Manager section in Chapter 3, aligning and referencing (where needed) Redfish standard. | Prior to Pieman, Hardware Infrastructure Manager existed in RM as a concept only. Now, it can be implemented, e.g., using ODIM as a basis. | https://github.com/anuket-project/anuket-specifications/pull/3306 |
| Reference Model | Add Load Balancer into RM technology agnostic definition, aligned to RA2 PR #3415 . | Important definition of an important component; the importance is based on a functional description, not on a specific implementation as typically LB technologies are defined. | [RM Ch3] Load Balancer by petorre · Pull Request #14 · anuket-project/RM (github.com) | |
| Reference Model | Walter.kozlowski | We have started a technology agnostic guidance to assist in planning more efficient energy consumption by the open-source based cloud infrastructure. The RM focus is on the energy efficiency of the workload/infrastructure interaction. | The energy savings are becoming a major issue for the telecom industry. With the massive use of data, the energy efficiency in the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud environment needs a consolidated approach by the ecosystem players. |
|
| Reference Model | Added discussion on automated TLS certificate lifecycle management for workloads (from the infrastructure perspective). | This adds a missing piece in the Security chapter of RM (Chapter 7) | ||
| RA2 | Add Express Data Path (AF_XDP) network acceleration specs, enabling faster and more efficient data plane traffic processing. | This provides an agreed network acceleration implementation, which benefits all users with containerised data plane functions | https://github.com/anuket-project/anuket-specifications/issues/3354 | |
| RA2 | Update to Kubernetes 1.29, including API specs and new functionality | This keeps the kubernetes release in scope of RA2 in the kubernetes community support window, providing updated releases, security fixes, and functionality. | https://github.com/anuket-project/anuket-specifications/issues/3392 | |
| RA2 | Add PaaS Services requirements - including Load Balancer, monitoring, tracing, logging | PaaS services are essential operational add-ons to kubernetes, which implement containerised network function monitoring, logging, traffic steering, etc. | ||
| RA2 | Add cert-manager for TLS certificate lifecycle management | A number of network functions require TLS certificates, this plugin allows to manage their lifecycle automatically | ||
| RA2 | Add Load Balancer specs, for ingress traffic distribution across microservices | Load balancers steer traffic across the pods that compose containerised network functions. RA2 is specifying what is required of a load balancer to integrate with a Kubernetes based Telco cloud. | https://github.com/anuket-project/anuket-specifications/pull/3415 |
