Dear all, It is great to see a lot of enthusiasm from different companies about their Lab Center proposals. Per Lab Center (Physical Labs-CMCC, Reliance Jio, China Telecom,OPNFV, Orange & Open Labs-CMCC, China Telecom, Orange, WINLAB), we need to understand what type of labs, the Lab center can support and what will be their scope.
We have identified at least 4 different labs as part of the Integration project (Integration (5/11/2017)): • 1 lab non-resilient for Development Team (immediate) • 1 lab resilient for CIST Team (immediate) • 1 lab resilient for E2E Team (immediate) • 1 lab resilient for S3P Team (medium term - dependencies on Performance KPIs; Limited Performance testing will be performed as part of ONAP R1). Can we ensure that we can support all of these Development/Testing activities when the TSC will review the "Open Lab" and "Physical Labs" proposals? Thank you.

As Xiaojun mentioned, China Telecom would like to provide a physical lab for ONAP. Actually, in last year, China Telecom has already established a Physical Lab for Open-O mercury release, and finished the E2E connection test for vCPE extension use case. In the near future, a Physical Lab is still important and necessary, especially for operators with intention to deploy operational systems to manage not only the NFV networks/VNFs but also PNFs. China Telecom is going to introduce SDN techniques in our Backbone Network, e.g. Segment routing and TE. In this case, SDN enabled Physical Network and a corresponding Lab is our scope of works. I would suggest to build up multiple labs, including Virtual labs and Physical labs, and solving connectivity issues under integration team/LF governance, in order to address on different use cases covering most of the operators interests.

I think that what is important is to have clear specification of what is required (Open-O experience would help) asap, so that we can start to implement. This may be independent from the integration project if it allows us to be more efficient. RK PS: actually, today we have an operation lab that is shared (from our internal research, our work with universities to our testing for deployment). So the set up would be done marginally.

In order to demonstrate and test real life scenarios we will need to tie in physical equipment. However, it may not be practical to have all the necessary physical equipment in the lab. Therefore a more practical approach could be providing connectivity from the lab to physical equipment located on an operator or vendor premise. This could be done using some sort of VPN or secure tunnels over the internet. Consider the vVoLTE use case. It could be possible to test and demonstrate calls between handsets on an operator premise and ECP/IMS in the ONAP lab using tunnel connectivity (see attached diagram for a high level concept). So solving the remote equipment connectivity is a requirement for any ONAP lab, and once we address this, it does not matter anymore if the lab is physical or virtual. I am putting together a draft proposal for a virtual lab, it should be ready for discussion later this week. Regards, Ranny.

That is, there’s a place for virtual labs for our CI/CD environment, but I think we want to extend into physical community labs to demonstrate real-world integration and interoperability.

But we need to understand what we are getting ourselves into and make an assessment quickly. Here are few issues that come to my mind. 1. What is the cost of running on 3rd part cloud versus our own lab. Does LF have the budget to do that in support of the entire community. What cap do we enforce. 2. Will vendors be willing to have their commercial VNFs run on some commercial clouds 3. ONAP today runs on open stack. Azure, for example, uses ARM and it is not trivial to translate heat templates to ARM. We still need to certify ONAP on OPenStack solution. 4. Our requirements must match third party cloud requirements. It is not trivial to run VNFs on some cloud environments neither will they make changes to accommodate for your need. Bottom line, we need like a subcommittee to make an assessment quickly before we start creating big projects under Integration.

(at least physical-lab-less). ONAP is a software project, designed for orchestrating software network functions and applications. We must be able to avoid dependency on any hardware. My practical suggestion is to set up only virtual “labs” on some public cloud services such as Azure, SoftLayer, or other, and make them available to the community. This way we avoid: * Long hardware and real estate lead times as indicated by Mazin. * Limited elasticity when there is a need for extra testing capacity (E.g. before a release). * Susceptibility to downtime due to hardware failure and long RMA process of hardware. I am honestly failing to see the benefit of running a physical lab and having community members dedicating time to maintaining it. Perhaps I am missing something, so if someone would like to enlighten me, please do so. Thanks, Ranny.

I would like to get your feedback on separating the Lab from the integration project. Our goal for 4Q release is to have at least 2 labs up and running. One in Asia and the other in the USA. From my experience at AT&T, the single big factor to delaying development, testing, certification and deployment is lab availability. This is a major undertaking to ensure all hardware, software, networking, software versioning, licensing, etc are all ready to go. As we mature, I expect we will have other labs around the world. These labs can be LF operated, other open source operated or company operated but they meet our requirements, vendor/operator neutral and open to our community. The labs will need to be identical and run multiple VIMs. Given that practically any progress we do depend on the availability of this lab, I see that it is important that we separate the Lab effort from the Integration effort. I wanted to get your views on this. Either way, it will be feedback we will provide to the Integration team.
