What will be in Release C (or maintenace phase of B, depends on the progress)
In the Bronze release, the O-Cloud deployment
...
scenario is only for AIO (all-in-one) single server. In the Cherry release, will extend the deployment scenario to the followings:
- 2 servers. 2 AIO servers with HA (high availability), the controller functionality and storage functionality will be deployed at the 2 servers with standby-active mode managed by "service management". If one server or one service in one server has error, it will be switched from active to standby one to maintain the service availability.
- 2 dedicated
...
- controller servers within the storage inside, and multiple worker nodes.
- 2 dedicated controllers servers, 2/3
...
- (more) dedicated storage
...
- servers, and multiple worker nodes. This is the standard configuration.
- Distributed Cloud
...
- OCU
- ODU
- RIC (need investigate what's the requirement for the RIC)
- Demo
- ONAP/CNF deployment
- DU pooling
...
- X86-64
- ARM
...
- architecture support.
In the Bronze release, the INF deliverable started to work with ODULOW team, the ODULOW deliverable asked the following requirement:
K8S features and plugins | Required for OSC lab (Y/N) | Comments |
Multus | Y | |
Calico | Y | Easy to deploy |
Native Huge Pages | Y | Best to have numa aware support but k8s don’t support yet |
SR-IOV Net Device Plugin | Y | Use for NIC SRIOV management. Better to extend support of VC sriov. |
Node Feature Discovery | Y | Easy to deploy |
FPGA device plugin | Y | Manager PAC N3000 VF devices in k8s |
K8s CPU manager/topology manager | Y | Key feature for CPU isolation |
In the Cherry release, will keep support those features, and will start to do the interoperability with the following components:
- ODULOW
- ODUHIGH
- OCU
- RIC ( need do more investigation )
In the Bronze release, it supports the following deliverables related ARCH
- IA Kubernetes cluster
- IA StarlingX enabled O-Cloud reference
- ARM Kubernetes cluster
In the Cherry release, it will support the:
- ARM StarlingX enabled O-Cloud reference
Alignment with O-RAN WG6 Orchestration and Cloudification specifications.
The following items are awaiting the board approval:
- Cloud Architecture and Deployment Scenarios v02.00 (O-RAN.WG6.CAD-v02.00)
- Cloud Platform Reference Design for Deployment Scenario B v01.00 (O-RAN.WG6.CLOUD-REF-B-v01.00)
- Orchestration Use Cases and Requirements for O-RAN Virtualized RAN v01.00 (O-RAN.WG6.ORCH-USE-CASES-v01.00)
Will adjust and modify the features to align with the upper document.
