Event Technology: Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC)

ETSI ISG MEC is pleased to host the first of a series of Multi-access Edge Computing live panels. Hybrid event taking place on 26 June 2023 in the ETSI premises and online, this live panel will explore the drone business from a MEC perspective with a variety of speakers coming from this vertical market. 

The goal is to share insights from experts on regulation, technology and business, and understand how the various drones use cases (e.g. private sky/network and public U-spaces) can benefit from computing resources at the edge and information exposed.
After the intervention of the various speakers, a final panel discussion will include a Q&A interactive session with both F2F and remote participants.

Speakers will participate in a final panel discussion which will include a Q&A interactive session with both face to face and remote participants.

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the TeraFlowSDN Community are organizing the second TFS Hackfest on 20-21 June 2023. The event will be held face-to-face during the IEEE NetSoft Conference in Madrid, Spain.

Participation in ETSI Hackfests is free and open to all upon Registration. You are most welcome to register to NetSoft2023 as well, though it is not mandatory.

Scope

This edition will feature TeraFlow Release 2, allowing participants to get hands-on experience with TeraFlowSDN. 

The event will take the form of a competition with the objective of integrating ETSI TeraFlowSDN Controller Release 2 with the ContainerLab environment.
ContainerLab is an environment that enables deploying versatile lab network topologies where each node can run a containerized Network Operating System, allowing to establish and test connectivity services traversing the network devices.
Participants will be grouped in teams and each team will collaborate to complete the following list of challenges (tentative):

Deploy a ContainerLab environment together with ETSI TeraFlowSDN controller Onboard the network devices emulated with ContainerLab in TeraFlowSDN Establish packet connectivity services through ContainerLab network devices Monitor the packet traffic on ContainerLab devices, e.g., through gNMI, and plot the data in TFS's L3 Monitoring Grafana dashboard

Each team is expected to focus on a specific ContainerLab network device kind, e.g., IPInfusion OcNOS, Nokia SR Linux, SONiC, etc. Some ETSI TFS experts will be around to help you and resolve your questions during the hacking sessions.
NOTE: It is under study the possibility of involving P4 in the challenge through SONiC (To Be Decided).

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OpenSourceMANO community are organizing the OSM#15 Hackfest on 12-16 June 2023. The event will be hosted by CTTC and co-located with the OSM#15 Plenary Meeting.

Participation in ETSI Hackfests is free and open to all upon registration.

Scope

This event is a development oriented Hackfest in the form of several self-contained challenges such as bug fixes, developing small features, writing unit tests, or automating end-to-end tests exercising some use case. Challenges will be mentored by key members of the OSM community.

The Hackfest will start on Monday 12 June and finish on Friday 16 June. On Monday, some theory sessions will be provided, followed by a description of the different challenges to be completed through the week. Participants will select a challenge to work on individually or by pairs.

During the week, participants will code autonomously (individually or by pairs) to solve their challenges. Daily sessions will be scheduled with the mentors, so that participants can ask questions and solve blocking points.

On Friday, participants will share their achievements and lessons learn with the OSM community.

All active participants will receive a Certificate of Participation. Certificates of Excellence will be awarded to all those participants that complete their challenge.

This event will be an opportunity for participants to:

Understanding the role of NFV Orchestration and OSM Understanding OSM architecture and relationship with ETSI NFV Specifications Getting familiar with OSM installation Understanding OSM development workflow, practices and tools: git, tox, gerrit, jenkins.. Understanding the way of working in an open source project: contributing code, code reviews, automated testing... Developing a first-hand experience with code development in OSM Getting to meet and interact with key OSM community members.

The accelerated worldwide deployment of 5G networks drives a radical change in the way networks and services are created, orchestrated and managed. Evolving towards zero-touch and full end-to-end network and service automation have become an urgent necessity to manage this complexity and deliver services with agility and speed, while adapting, assuring and ensuring the economic sustainability of the highly diverse service portfolio. The ultimate target is to achieve the highest degree of automation, ideally 100%, while enabling fully autonomous operation driven by high-level business goals and policies.  The autonomous networks will be able to self-manage and self-organize (configuration, healing, assurance, optimization, etc.) without human intervention beyond the initial transition of the business intents. 

Realizing this vision requires a novel end-to-end architecture framework and enablers designed for self-management, near-real-time closed-loop automation and optimized for data-driven analytics. Advanced machine-learning algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be essential tools to deal with the complexity and the diverse services.

The ETSI ZSM (Zero-touch network and Service Management) group was formed in December 2017 with the goal to define a future-proof, end-to-end operable framework and solutions, key automation technologies (e.g. closed-loop and AI enablers, intent), as well as countermeasures and solutions to high-priority security risks/issues.

The speakers will present the ETSI ZSM deliverables and their contribution to the industry automation journey. They will also provide an update on the ongoing work, Proof of Concepts (PoCs), and share the ZSM outlook.
