Hello ONAP TSC and the Technical Community ? Intel and AT&T are planning to host a breakout session on ?Service Assurance? during the upcoming ONAP developer summit in Middletown, NJ. Our plan is to reserve a 4 hour slot on Friday, May 5th. AT&T (Alok Gupta) and Intel (Tim Verrall, Maryam Tahhan) are leading this effort and will coordinate the session. Below is a short abstract:
In this breakout session we will cover the need for platform, infrastructure and NFV service assurance. Providing tools and methodologies for tracking the service levels being delivered by NFV infrastructure and VNFs is a challenging area that has not been fully addressed as yet, we will discuss the types of telemetry and alarms required to locate and resolve points of contention or failure in these environments. Expanding on this, we will discuss collection methodologies and frameworks, common event and metric formats, common distribution schemes and the integration of this into management frameworks for the virtualized environments. We will also discuss the implications to ONAP and what we need to support ?Service Assurance? in ONAP. Service Assurance ? In the Enterprise or Telco, Service Assurance is the application of policies and processes to ensure that services offered over networks meet a pre-defined service quality level for an optimal user or subscriber experience. ? Network Service Assurance practices enable the ability to identify faults and resolve these in a timely manner so as to minimize service downtime. This also includes the ability to proactively locate, diagnose and repair degradations or malfunctions in service quality before users or subscribers are impacted. ? Provisioning, monitoring and service impacting fault detection for infrastructure platforms ? Enable Reactive and Pro-active fault detection, fault reporting and support corrective actions ? Support current Industry Standard FCAPS<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCAPS>, Platform Telemetry and flow Telemetry interfaces ? Support Open Interoperable Interfaces to integrate with High Availability, NFV MANO, and Service Assurance software elements A detailed agenda will follow next week. If you have interest in this key topic, please reach out to Alok, Tim and Maryam and they will invite you to this breakout.
