• Cluster BYOH - Internship work (@Sridhar Rao & Rehan)

  • Started working with Nephio

    • Now using the Nephio O2-IMS (Provisioning) CRD/Operator & FOCOM CRD/Operator to deploy clusters (e.g. RAN & Core) 

    • Then deploy some workloads on those clusters 

      • Hoping to deploy OAI + Free5GC

    • https://github.com/sknrao/oransc-sanity/tree/main/rehan/CAPI_BYOH-O2IMS-FOCOM

• Gather PM from Viavi Nodes (@Sambit Sahoo) 

  • Some ongoing work with PM - Any suggestions? 

    • Think NTUST proposed file-based PM already with Viavi

    • Suggest using https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-nonrtric-plt-ranpm/en/latest/ 

    • Streaming would be good - but no implementation 

    • Suggest to Not use VES for PM-Data delivery 

      • (Note VES is used for PM file-ready message)
