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 LF 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.
