Summit 16: OPNFV on ARM - Hardware Freedom of Choice Has Arrived!
Summit 16: OPNFV on ARM - Hardware Freedom of Choice Has Arrived!OPNFV Freedom of choice is one of the key concepts in the SDN and NFV revolution we are seeing today. OPNFV is at the heart of this revolution yet very limited freedom of choice has existed on the hardware architecture side. However, with the work done in the Armband project, ARM servers are now an alternative hardware architecture for Brahmaputra deployments. The Armband team has ported the OPNFV Fuel Project to support deployments on ARM servers. The necessary code changes have been upstreamed through the OPNFV armband project. End users are now able to download or build their own Brahmaputra OPNFV ISO ready for ARM and install it using available OPNFV documentation. In addition to this and to further the OPNFV VNF ecosystem, a full specification OPNFV Pharos lab based on ARM servers was built by Enea for running continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD). In this presentation, we will walk you through the experiences gained in this process, the challenges and how they were overcome and what is coming next.

OpenStack DVR_What is DVR?
OpenStack DVR_What is DVR?Yongyoon Shin OpenStack DVR (Distributed Virtual Router) allows L3 routing functions to be distributed across compute nodes by creating router namespaces on each compute node. This avoids bottlenecks and single points of failure at network nodes. DVR supports east-west inter-subnet routing, SNAT for external access without floating IPs, and floating IPs associated with internal VMs for direct external access. Traffic flows are encapsulated in VXLAN/GRE tunnels between compute nodes and routed appropriately within each node's router namespace.

Accelerate Service Function Chaining Vertical Solution with DPDK
Accelerate Service Function Chaining Vertical Solution with DPDKOPNFV Service Function Chaining (SFC) is one of top 5 NFV use case. Supporting SFC in provider and enterprise networks requires performance assurance. Specifically, the Classifier and the Service Function Forwarder which are typically implemented in software such as virtual switches need to match line rate requirement. DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) is an open source project comprising a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. In this presentation, we will discuss our experiences accelerating SFC with DPDK. In addition, Telco and Datacenter carriers demands dynamic SFC that requires new SFC wire protocols (e.g. VxLAN-GPE and NSH) support in both data and control planes. We intend to share our experiences and future works of a high performance, NSH-aware SFC vertical solution with open-source ingredients: Openstack, Opendaylight, OpenvSwitch with DPDK acceleration.

Tech Talk by John Casey (CTO) CPLANE_NETWORKS : High Performance OpenStack Ne...nvirters OpenStack is HOT! No doubt about it. A recent survey by The New Stack and The Linux Foundation shows OpenStack as the most popular open source project ahead of other hot projects like Docker and KVM. OpenStack is now taking its rightful place as the open source cloud solution for enterprises and service providers.
To date OpenStack networking has not yet achieved the performance, scalability and reliability that many large enterprises demand. CPLANE NETWORKS solves that problem by delivering secure multi-tenant virtual networking that overcomes the limitations of the standard Neutron networking service. By making all networking services local to the compute node and achieving near line-rate throughput, CPLANE NETWORKS Dynamic Virtual Networks (DVN) delivers mega-scale networking for the most demanding application environments.
In this session John Casey will cover the basics of DVN and explain how CPLANE NETWORKS achieves "at scale" network performance within and across data centers.

Storage Performance Indicators - Powered by StorPerf and QTIP
Storage Performance Indicators - Powered by StorPerf and QTIPOPNFV Yujun Zhang, ZTE Corporation, Mark Beierl, Dell EMC
StorPerf uses heat to create VMs with attached cinder volumes. The volumes are used *without* a file system (ie target=/dev/vdb). The FIO workload is run and stats collected every minute. When we get 10 samples in a row that fit within a certain range and slope, we say it is a valid measurement. This avoids false numbers due to Ceph balancing or other warm up. The metrics can be read after job completes, and there is an indicator to state if the volume metrics stabilized or not.
Storage QPI will be calculated based on the test results from storperf by QTIP. It aims to be a comparable indicator for storage performance among different platforms.

Being Brave: Deploying OpenStack from Master
Being Brave: Deploying OpenStack from MasterOPNFV Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson, Yolanda Robla Mota, RedHat, Markos Chandras, SUSE
OPNFV has been working with the communities such as OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and fd.io as part of its Cross Community CI (XCI) effort in order to provide means for the developers to work with the latest versions of upstream components, cutting the time it takes to develop new features significantly and testing them on the OPNFV Infrastructure.
Apart from developing and testing new features, OPNFV XCI will enable developers to identify bugs earlier, issue fixes faster, and get feedback on a daily basis. This is a prerequisite for OPNFV in its CD & DevOps journey.
OPNFV aims to run XCI by reusing what other communities developed such as bifrost and openstack-ansible. While doing this, OPNFV intends to develop, maintain, and evolve OPNFV Infrastructure like how the other OPNFV projects do; upstream first. Whatever missing functionality and issues we identify in the components we use as part of our infrastructure and CI/CD toolchain, we strive to fix them directly upstream.
During this session, we will talk about the progress we have made so far, contributions we made to our upstream communities, and share our experiences. We will also highlight the key benefits of XCI for the community in order for developers to utilize the mechanisms, work with OpenStack master to implement new features and fix bugs using the toolchain XCI established.

Enabling Carrier-Grade Availability Within a Cloud Infrastructure
Enabling Carrier-Grade Availability Within a Cloud InfrastructureOPNFV Aaron Smith, Red hat, Pasi Vaananen, Red Hat
Carrier-Grade Cloud Infrastructure (Aaron Smith, Pasi Vaananen, Red Hat): The move from vertically integrated hardware and software to distributed execution in a cloud complicates the delivery of highly available services. Vertically integrated systems enabled all system layers required to communicate and participate in the support of availability of the service to be under control of single system vendor. With NFV, the cloud philosophy of infrastructure and application decoupling requires new open interfaces to support the necessary flow of information between layers and clear separation of the fault and availability management responsibilities between the infrastructure and application SW subsystems. Even in the cloud environment, traditional availability concepts such as fast detection, correlation, and fault notification still apply. A fast, low-latency fault management platform will be presented that allows cloud-based services to achieve 5NINES of availability and service continuity. Performance measurements from a prototype of the system will be presented along with a demo of the operation of a service requiring 50 ms fault remediation.

Distributed vnf management architecture and use-cases
Distributed vnf management architecture and use-casesOPNFV Sridhar Pothuganti, NXP, Trinath Somanchi, NXP
Telco operators are on journey to discover what virtualization means for the network. Markets have believed that NFV architecture elements: NFVI and VIM, hold the complete responsibility in providing virtualized networks with carrier grade properties.
Telco operators have reached to a conclusion that VNFs must take their fair share of responsibility to realize NFV goals while meeting carrier-grade behavior in the entire NFV architecture. While the trend moves on, Cloud native VNFs are emerging best citizens of the cloud. Thus communication from EMS to VNFM is blurred and eventually may disappear in the future. This requires better understanding of, and agreement over the role of VNFMs and EMS for VNFs.
This presentation describes the evolution of Distributed VNF management, Architectural design considerations and Use-case scenarios. The following proposal is based on a comprehensive study on evolving cloud native VNF management.

Software-defined migration how to migrate bunch of v-ms and volumes within a...OPNFV Kentaro Matsumoto, KDDI Corporation, Hyde Sugiyama, Red Hat, Inc
As telecom career, we KDDI have been managing thousands of physical servers and run various kinds of workloads. In our operation of such a huge environment, We are frequently required to shut down our servers for maintenance, but it is not easy to negotiate with our tenant users to allow downtime. To make it easier, we are developing the structure called "Zone Migration", using the framework of OpenStack project "Watcher". "Zone Migration" makes it possible to migrate tenants’ workloads from compute nodes and storage devices we want to maintain (source zone) to new blank ones (destination zone) efficiently, automatically, and with minimum downtime.
These requirements as follows are realized.
-A lot of VMs and volumes should be migrated within a limited time frame
-Operations should be automated, but also can be controlled manually
-Time and load of migration should be under control so that tenants’ systems will not be affected
We are proceeding with the project in cooperation with NEC and Red Hat, and developing this structure on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.

Securing your nfv and sdn integrated open stack cloud- challenges, use-cases ...OPNFV Sridhar Pothuganti, NXP, Trinath Somanchi, NXP
Network security and reliability are the most challenging tasks in any cloud. With NFV and SDN in place, Network Functions are virtualzied and network traffic is managed in separated control and data planes. Thus reducing the operational and capital expenditure. Virtualized Network Functions are tied with Software Defined Networks to boost the power of virtualization. This itself is challenging when Network services and security is a concern. While OpenStack is the best opted solution for IaaS, many service provides are moving towards best solutions to deal with service delivery and security challenges in SDN and NFV integrated OpenStack Cloud.
The Presentation outlines the challenges and proposes probable solutions for NFV and SDN integrated OpenStack Cloud.
My network functions are virtualized, but are they cloud-ready
My network functions are virtualized, but are they cloud-readyOPNFV Ulas Kozat, Huawei, Yaoguang Wang, Huawei
In the first phase of telco-cloud vision, the physical network functions are targeted for virtualization and became Virtual Network Functions (VNF) decoupled from the specific hardware platform. As we dive into the second phase of the cloud era, the core need is to provide VNF implementations that can take advantage of what cloud has to offer in terms of utility based computing (a.k.a. scaling), availability, data durability, etc. To this end, we have been developing a VNF Performance Modeling framework for automatic characterization of a particular VNF implementation in terms of its cloud-readiness and its bottlenecks towards cloud-readiness. We will present the details of our performance modeling framework and show its utility based on the existing open source VNF implementations. The next frontier of telco-cloud vision is to develop cloud-native network functions and services. Thus, in the last part of our talk, we will cover the future evolution of the framework and discuss the needs, requirements, potential metrics for evaluating the cloud-nativeness of network functions.

Challenge in asia region connecting each testbed and poc of distributed nfv ...OPNFV Shuya Nakama, Okinawa Open Laboratory / NEC Solution Innovators, Eric Chang, Institute for Information Industry, Hideyasu Hayashi, Okinawa Open Laboratory and NEC Solution Innovators, Torii Takashi, NEC Corporation and Okinawa Open Laboratory
There are many countries in Asia region those have the motivation to innovate their telecom system and educate new technologies to young engineers. It is important how to encourage and involve these countries to OPNFV communities, and also educate to contribute to open source activities.
In these session, we will introduce our trial to the issue. Okinawa Open Laboratories (OOL) in Japan and Institute for Information Industry (III) in Taiwan, have been doing joint research activities in these years about SDN/NFV area, and this year, we have connected each testbed using OPNFV. Over the distributed testbed, we have started our POC of NFV use cases such as vEPC, vCPE etc. We also have communication with several research and academic organization in Asia region, so we would like to connect each country’s testbed and expand our testbed to Asia region.
There are many challenges, and we have learned from our experience, so in the session we will share the lessons learned from our trial. That will be good example for the whole community, and help progressing collaboration of global eco system.

Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?
Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?Christian Folini Everybody is driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices.
There is a huge resource problem in IT, especially in the IT security industry. Therefore, you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and the ones they create with their budget allocation, their awareness training, their security reports, etc.
But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online training annoying corporate users.
But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products, and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time.
It takes people like you and me to say "NO" and stand up for real security!

GDG Cloud Southlake #42: Suresh Mathew: Autonomous Resource Optimization: How...James Anderson Autonomous Resource Optimization: How AI is Solving the Overprovisioning Problem
In this session, Suresh Mathew will explore how autonomous AI is revolutionizing cloud resource management for DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering teams.
Traditional cloud infrastructure typically suffers from significant overprovisioning—a "better safe than sorry" approach that leads to wasted resources and inflated costs. This presentation will demonstrate how AI-powered autonomous systems are eliminating this problem through continuous, real-time optimization.
Key topics include:
Why manual and rule-based optimization approaches fall short in dynamic cloud environments
How machine learning predicts workload patterns to right-size resources before they're needed
Real-world implementation strategies that don't compromise reliability or performance
Featured case study: Learn how Palo Alto Networks implemented autonomous resource optimization to save $3.5M in cloud costs while maintaining strict performance SLAs across their global security infrastructure.
Bio:
Suresh Mathew is the CEO and Founder of Sedai, an autonomous cloud management platform. Previously, as Sr. MTS Architect at PayPal, he built an AI/ML platform that autonomously resolved performance and availability issues—executing over 2 million remediations annually and becoming the only system trusted to operate independently during peak holiday traffic.

Could Virtual Threads cast away the usage of Kotlin Coroutines - DevoxxUK2025
Could Virtual Threads cast away the usage of Kotlin Coroutines - DevoxxUK2025João Esperancinha This is an updated version of the original presentation I did at the LJC in 2024 at the Couchbase offices. This version, tailored for DevoxxUK 2025, explores all of what the original one did, with some extras. How do Virtual Threads can potentially affect the development of resilient services? If you are implementing services in the JVM, odds are that you are using the Spring Framework. As the development of possibilities for the JVM continues, Spring is constantly evolving with it. This presentation was created to spark that discussion and makes us reflect about out available options so that we can do our best to make the best decisions going forward. As an extra, this presentation talks about connecting to databases with JPA or JDBC, what exactly plays in when working with Java Virtual Threads and where they are still limited, what happens with reactive services when using WebFlux alone or in combination with Java Virtual Threads and finally a quick run through Thread Pinning and why it might be irrelevant for the JDK24.
