CNF Scalability

From an Orchestration perspective: Cluster Autoscaler, HPA and VPA

Handling within its own cluster

From an Automation, Control Loop (CL) perspective

OOF, SO, Multi-Cloud

CL (DCAE, Policy, CLAMP + Triggered Action)

Adding value: Handling multiple K8S, Clusters

See K8S/SO presentation (3/17)

As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application.

based on grafana technologies (UI part) 

Specific VES

Integration with Promotheus and Grafana technologies (UI) as POC by AT&T

-Check the CNF Conformance to understand what are the requirements

-Shall we integrate one of the open sources to DCAE (like we did with PNDA) or shall we create DCAE CNCF version?

OpenTelemetry provides a single set of

OpenTelemetry provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture distributed traces and metrics from your application. You can analyze them using Prometheus, Jaeger, and other observability tools. - https://opentelemetry.io/

CNF Compliance:

The CNF supports OpenTelemetry-compatible tracing
– Does the CNF generate Open Telemetry compliant data?
– Is there traffic to Jaeger? 

Dual Stack Network:

•  IPv4 K8s cluster with IPv4 pods and services 
•  IPv6 

• DPDK
• SRIOV
