10 min

Announcements

  • LFN Operations Survey - see e-mail, URL
  • LFN-TAC Security Forum - see e-mail, URL
  • Network Cloud will continue!
  • Anuket Ambassadors - please join!
  • ETSI NFV Plugtest Participation - Interoperability Event
  • LFN Operations survey is still active (it'll be open for at least yet another week).
    Please consider filling out the survey (take rate was relatively low, hence the extension).
  • On Network Cloud (ATT - Microsoft agreement) - Scot Steele: https://news.microsoft.com/2021/06/30/att-to-run-its-mobility-network-on-microsofts-azure-for-operators-cloud-delivering-cost-efficient-5g-services-at-scale/
    Several former ATT members will switch to MSFT on Aug/9th, incl. Scot. Team members will continue to participate in Anuket - but now having the "supplier" hat on as opposed to the "operator hat". Note: Our TSC co-chair (Al) will continue to work for ATT.
  • Anuket Ambassador program is still looking for additional members.
  • Mark Beierl asks whether Anuket is interested in ETSI NFV Plugfest (2 week long interop event - fully remote). Deadline for participation is July/15. Check with Mark if you/your project is interested in participating.
20 min
  • Kali - release aftermath and next steps
  • Lakelse (Milestone updates)
  • Kali retrospective: Rebranding to "Anuket" of all documentation continues (getting rid of logos was a bit of a challenge - thanks Georg for a solution!)
  • Lakelse: Projects submitted their release plans. TBD: Version mapping between RA - RI - RC.
5 min
  • New Projects  in Anuket
    • Network Automation - Link to project proposal. Request for Feedback.
    • AI/ML for NFV - Request for Repo.
  • Potential Project: Automated Network Device Configuration - Jie Niupresented the current proposal. Riccardo makes the case for flexible architecture support, as opposed to supporting only one "very opinionated" architecture/topology choice. Al mentiones that there might be a need for several "flavors". Others: Please add your comments to the wiki. Suggestion is to discuss the draft project proposal as part of the weekly technical meeting and mature the project there: It'll become a topic of tomorrow's (Jul/7) technical meeting.
  • Thoth - Sridhar Rao describes that this effort currently is an "experiment". If the experiment is successful and the project succeeds in getting access to appropriate data, then it would very likely evolve into a proper project. The project would like to get a repo to store their current data. 
    Al mentions that this effort is sufficiently different from existing efforts that it could become a new dedicated project. Suggestion is to also add this draft project to the agenda of the technical meeting tomorrow (Jul/7).
