Scope

The 1st OSM Hackfest concentrated on VNF on-boarding activities covering Day 0/1/2 operations. It addressed complex descriptor development to leverage the full suite of capabilities offered by OSM Release THREE, from service and resource orchestration to VNF configuration with charm development.

Objectives were to:

• Install OSM and run some examples
• Get familiar with OSM's GUI and CLI
• Create your own VNF and NS descriptors and build packages
• Understand how to deploy NS/VNF with EPA
• Learn how to add dynamic LCM with Day-1 and Day-2 actions with charms
• Basic troubleshooting Special attention will be paid to troubleshoot real cases from co-located NFV Plugtests.

Participation was free and open to all. 

Who could Attend?

• VNF vendors, who wanted to onboard their VNF in OSM following best practices
• System Integrators, who wanted to get used with OSM
• Service providers, who wanted to get first hand operational experience with OSM
• Academia and Universities, who were considering OSM as platform for their research activities in networking
• And, of course, participants in the 2nd NFV Plugtests who might have had specific demands of troubleshooting for their VNF descriptors or Infrastructure

Prerequisites that were absolutely needed:

• Laptop / VM in laptop Linux installed (preferred, Ubuntu 16.04)
• User-level knowledge of Linux
• Familiarity with NFV and SDN concepts

FOR OPTIMAL USE OF THE SESSION:

• Laptop / VM in laptop: MINIMUM: 4 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 40GB disk
• RECOMMENDED: 8 CPUs, 16 GB RAM, 80GB disk
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Bring your own VNF
• Basic knowledge of:
  •  Its internal structure (picture is recommended) and resource requirements
  •   How to change/adapt its configuration
  •   Other known restrictions/limitations
• VM images available
• Participating in the NFV Plugtests
