Subtopic 2: Performance & Isolation - "Towards a performance-aware and portable cloud-agnostic Infrastructure"
Description: Multi-vendor cloud portability and interoperability while delivering performance is a mandatory feature of distributed DC deployments. The practical challenge in achieving this goal is the lack of standardization of Platform-aware and QoS features, for example extra specs in OpenStack, which results in a vertically integrated solution. This session will focus on how Multi Cloud can offer policy standardization and translation as a microservice for platform-aware and QoS features (hard-guarantee, min-guarantee, best effort etc.) for addressing this challenge and how NFV application classes such as IMS/EPC Control/Data Plane can benefit from this framework.

Subtopic 3: SDN - "Architectural options for Multi-vendor SDN Controller and Multi Cloud Deployments in a DC"
Description: Multi-vendor components in a DC including underlay, overlay, gateway and SDN Controllers for the same pose various architectural challenges in terms interoperability, security etc. This session will focus on an in depth analysis of the architectural options including related efforts such as OpenStack Gluon. This proposal also addresses communication latency-bound multi-side physical DCs which can be treated as a single virtual DC for management purposes.
