Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) in WP 6 3 | www. geant. org
Current Status • OAV consensus building team was formed with 12 people from 8 project partner countries • NREN OAV Survey • 31 organisations participated in the survey • Co-organised GN 4 -3 Future Service Strategy Workshop • Focused on the use of Automation, Orchestration and Virtualisation in the GÉANT Community • TNC 19: Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) Bo. F • Thursday morning side meeting – registrations still open 4 | www. geant. org
NREN OAV Survey 5 | www. geant. org
Survey Objectives • Learn about the strategy and actions of each NREN related to network and service orchestration, automation and virtualisation • Explore if there are common use cases, ideas, needs and issues in the community in the areas of automation, orchestration and virtualisation • Identify potential areas of collaboration both amongst NRENs and between NRENs and GÉANT • Determine and recommend potential future work within Work Package 6 (or other WPs) of the GÉANT GN 4 -3 project that could be of benefit to as many partners as possible for identified use case(s) 6 | www. geant. org
Survey • Areas: • • • Existing platforms (OSS/BSS) Current OAV use cases Challenges in adopting OAV Future OAV use cases How GÉANT might help NRENs • Results: • Presented at the workshop, serving as a starting point for discussion there • https: //wiki. geant. org/pages/viewpage. action? space.

Survey Results Interpretation • NRENs have common pain points: • Lack of appropriate manpower, time, cost, priorities, . . . A wide variety of systems and components are in use No obvious common single direction or architecture for OAV Opportunity exists for work on BSS and OSS – BSS integration The most important OAV use cases for NRENs are configuration integrity, problem troubleshooting and security operations centre enhancements • The current NREN focus is more on providing their own services, rather than inter-domain services with other service providers • • 8 | www. geant. org
GN 4 -3 Future Service Strategy Workshop OAV in the GÉANT Community 9 | www. geant. org
OAV Workshop • 70 representatives in person or remote • 34 NRENs and affiliated organisations • Objectives: • Present the survey results • Gather input about the longer term vision / strategy • Gather input about immediate next steps along that path • Group discussions – on site and remote participants 10 | www. geant. org
OAV Workshop Outcomes • • • There was a high interest in OAV topics NRENs are all at different stages of their OAV journeys Scope exists for greater collaboration between the NRENs There is no “one size fits all” solution A common terminology needs to be agreed We must avoid reinventing wheels A particular interest exists in OAV for connectivity services Initial focus should be "intra-domain" Value, uptake and sustainability are all important 11 | www. geant. org
Next Steps 12 | www. geant. org
Next Steps • Focus groups • Developing common terminology and a “reference architecture / framework” – explore APIs, interfaces • Exploring use case(s) • Knowledge sharing/exchange • • Regular Info. Shares on OAV technologies and NREN use cases OAV Tools Repository – potentially using GÉANT Git. Lab Open Wiki – https: //wiki. geant. org/display/OAV (launching soon) Continuing the discussion: • TNC 19 OAV side meeting on Thursday - https: //eventr. geant. org/events/3148 • STF meeting in Dublin on 3 -4 July - https: //eventr. geant. org/events/3126 13 | www. geant. org
Conclusions • The GN 4 -3 Network Technologies and Services Development Work Package wants to raise the level of OAV in the community • Important to focus on specific use cases, initially intra-domain • Many differences in approaches to date by NRENs • Future work upcoming in the areas of: • Focus groups • Knowledge sharing/exchange • The TNC 19 OAV side meeting / Bo. F is the immediate result of inputs from the survey and the workshop 14 | www. geant. org
