- Latest ONAP/OPS 5G updates from Amar Kapadia
- ONAP/Magma discussions occurred on April 8th - Current understanding is that we could use REST API (northbound ITF) or Mesh
- OPS 5G meeting on April 9th - focus on E2E Network Slicing
Welcome and Introduction Neil Hoff, NIWC PAC
Super Blueprint and 2021 Roadmap, including slicing Amar Kapadia, Linux Foundation
OPS-5G Technical Area 3 (SABRES) – Secure Slicing Dr. Erik Kline, USC/ISI
MAGMA - Target release for network slicing and timeline for requirements development Amar Padmanabhan, Facebook
ONAP - How network slicing will be orchestrated by ONAP Swaminathan Seetharaman, Wipro
OUSD(R&E) comments / discussion
Key take away: Align people on "what it is a Slice" terminology
- How could ONAP orchestrate Magma?
Some additional info about Magma
- First deployment of 5G-FWA in June 2021 (Brazil)
- Can be deployed on ARM/ESXI
- Horizontal scaling
- NB ITF = REST (to be connected with ONAP) or Mesh3 options:#1 Create a dedicated controller via SDNC and handle Magma GW like any other device#2 Have an adapter for the magma in ONAP Service Orchestrator and use it as a resource orchestrator for the specific jobs. Disadvantage: create something specific
#3 5G PNF Plug & Play and consider Magma GW as a PNF?
Current proposal: Avoid to create something specific but re-use what it is already developed in ONAP (SO/SDNC/SDNR) and orchestrate directly the Magma GW via gRPC
Need to understand what it is behing the Magma GW and explore if there is a possibility to interact directly with the devices? Maybe not acceptable
Advantage: full re-use of the current E2E Network slicing capabilties developed in ONAP
