Tacker - Building an Open Platform for NFV Orchestration

Virtualizing Network Functions is going mainstream in different Telecom operator networks. Come and learn from this talk from the OpenStack Tacker team on how Tacker project has provided a viable community built opensource software for NFV Orchestration. Tacker project is wrapping up its third release for Mitaka with many key features:

  • Tacker Multi-Site allows Operators to place, manage and monitor VNFs in multiple OpenStack Clouds
  • Tacker Service Function Chaining API for a VNF level service-chaining backed by an SDN Controller
  • TOSCA Parser integration brings industry's first OASIS NFV Profile Standards based TOSCA Orchestrator
  • Enhanced VNF Placement placing VNFs the most efficient way with CPU-Pinning, NUMA topology awareness, etc

Beyond Mitaka, Tacker project is embarking onto new areas - Network Service Orchestration, VNF Auto Scaling, etc. Audience will also learn how Tacker is being incorporated into OPNFV deliverables and in NFV Information Model Standardization efforts.
