Multisite OpenStack for NFV: Bridging the Gap

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: 

  1. Need for multisite in NFV 
  2. Gaps in OpenStack 
  3. Existing projects and solutions 
  4. 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.


What can I expect to learn?

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.
