NFV infrastructure will be distributed across multiple geo-locations, to place workload close to the end user for better user experience, and introduce some cross -site requirements like service chaining, high availability and disaster recovery. There are gaps in OpenStack in such geo-distributed clouds such as:
- Support VNF high availability across OpenStack
- Support Multisite VNF geo site-disaster recovery
- Single unified view for operators
- Multi-site quota management
- Sync tenant resources like images, ssh-keys, security groups
- Policy driven VNF placements
- Optimized resource utilization
- Dynamic Service Functions Chaining across sites
Several projects like OPNFV Multisite, Tacker, Kingbird and Tricircle projects have collaborated to address the requirements for NFV. In this session, come learn about:
- Need for multisite in NFV
- Gaps in OpenStack
- Existing projects and solutions
- Gaps in these solutions and what different teams are doing to fix it
The Telecom/NFV track is brought to you by OpenStack and OPNFV.
Attendees will be able to understand the challenges in multisite NFV orchestration and learn how Tacker NFVO component working alongside projects like Tricircle and Kingbird provides a solution through a unified view of resource management.
