ONAP Beijing Release Developer Forum

Container technology is gaining momentum. Container implies lighter resource usage, more preformance faster boot time, faster scale out/in etc. Kubernetes is one of most popular Container Orchestrain Engine which is industry-wide wisdom of the experience for more than 10 years. ONAP community wants to take advantage of container technology to enjoy the achievement. This session is on how ONAP can/should adapt kubernetes. Traditionally ONAP assumes cloud infrastructure to run VNFs as VM based. Since the concepts around container is very different from VM, there are many gaps. We will show status update of the effort and discuss how kubernetes can/should fit in ONAP architecture, the relationship with other ONAP components, espcieally with Multi-cloud project. APIs for other ONAP components to consume and planned model driven API which is currently discussed and TOSCA specification.
