[PROPOSAL] Liaison with ETSI NFV ISG
Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an effort to utilize server
virtualization in conjunction with industry standard servers, network
hardware switches and storage hardware to achieve significant time and
costs reductions in the Telecommunication industry. ETSI [1] has a group
(NFV ISG [2]) that is trying to develop guidelines and frameworks around
NFV (note: not standards). They have published a White Paper [3] which
makes very interesting reading.
Among other things, the group identifies
"The NFVI (Network Functions Virtualisation Infrastructure), which
provides the virtual
resources required to support the execution of the Virtualised Network
Functions. It includes
Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, accelerator components where
necessary, and
a software layer which virtualises and abstracts the underlying hardware."
This software layer is assumed to be a form of IAAS software. Currently
the group members use OpenStack as an example, but it should be our (the
CloudStack community) goal to popularize and encourage the adoption of
CloudStack as well.
The white paper [3] also goes on to say:
"
We are interested to ensure that the Open Source community actively
engages in NFV to help create
virtualised network capabilitiesŠ
...we intend to actively collaborate with existing reference
open-source initiatives in the areas relevant to NFV, as well as to
encourage and support new ones
aligned with the NFV goals, especially when addressing new issues
identified by the NFV community."
One way to improve visibility and collaborate actively with this community
is to have a liaison with the ISG.
The liaison can contribute to the activities of the various working groups
(e.g., Management and Orchestration MANO WG) and convey the activities
and requirements of the NFV ISG back to the CloudStack community.
If the community is OK with the Liaison idea, then we could solicit
volunteers on this list to act as the Liaison(s)

Looks good to me. I'd suggest that Daan send it, since he's a PMC

Re: [PROPOSAL] Liaison with ETSI NFV ISG
Posted by Chiradeep Vittal <Ch...@citrix.com>.
OK, here's the draft of the Liaison request (template borrowed from
OpenDaylight)
--------------------------------------------------------------
To:
ETSI Industry Study Group (ISG) on Network Functions Virtualization
Prodip Sen, Chairman NFV ISG prodip.sen@verizon.com
Andrew Malis, NFV Liaison Officer <an...@verizon.com>
I am a member of the Apache CloudStack Project Management Committee (PMC)
and have been asked to serve as liaison from the Apache CloudStack
community to the ETSI Industry Standard Group on Network Functions
Virtualization.
Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage
large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. The platform
has pioneered the use of VNF to provide network services to IAAS tenants.
We are excited to see that NFV is going to realize its potential and look
forward to collaborating to realize this promise expeditiously.
The community would like to suggest these areas of collaboration:
1) ETSI NFV ISG Documents: It would be very helpful to receive pointers
to the various documents being produced by the ETSI NFV ISG, even before
their formal publication, so that your needs can be incorporated into the
Apache CloudStack development effort.
2) Sharing ideas and experience: We have many shared goals and a large
community of experienced cloud implementors. We have several opportunities
where someone from ETSI NFV ISG could present to the Apache CloudStack
community, including meetups and online fora , and our CloudStack
Collaboration Summit. We would also be quite pleased to present on Apache
CloudStack to ETSI NFV ISG in any forum you find appropriate. If
appropriate we can participate in working groups such as the MANO WG.
3) Open Source: We would love to get members of the ETSI NFV ISG
participate in our community, especially in design ideas, code
contributions and the like. We hope that we can assist in producing
reference implementations and help iterate faster on crucial issues such
as interoperability.
Of course we welcome other ideas for collaboration with the NFV ISG.

How about Chiradeep makes the contact and proposal for CloudStack to join/be represented ?
Then we can decide who is the representative. Daan could do it and Nguyen could be the substitute ?

I don't mind being involved if needed.

I'd say you are... you're a committer on the project. Perhaps you and
Chiradeep can discuss how to get involved?

Not sure if I have permitted to join, I'm in agreeable timezone (9pm at
local time). It's great and I'm willing to join to liaison team.

While I appreciate the confidence, there are weekly calls to attend.
The particularly interesting one (MANO WG) happens on Wednesdays at 6am
PST.
I've tried but there's very little chance that I can attend these
meetings.
Anybody in a more agreeable timezone?
