WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:13.680
Okay. Hello. My name is Modelliniag. I'm product manager for the 5GNH at OpenEblast Systems.

00:13.680 --> 00:20.240
And today I would like to present to you a few skates related to the highly distributed cloud architecture

00:20.240 --> 00:28.560
for Telco and VD deployments. I split my presentation in three parts. Firstly, yeah, representing

00:28.560 --> 00:35.600
OpenEblast Systems and talking about OpenEblah. I need to introduce these notions to you.

00:35.600 --> 00:43.840
After that, I would like to enter more in that related to these use cases. And in the end,

00:43.840 --> 00:55.120
I will present a very easy example on how we manage to test these use cases. Firstly,

00:55.200 --> 01:01.760
OpenEblah is the product. OpenEblah Systems is the company. OpenEblah Systems has developed and

01:01.760 --> 01:08.720
supported OpenEblah since 2010 and is a European open source technology vendor. Headquartered in Madrid,

01:08.720 --> 01:15.360
but also having offices in Brussels, Bruno and USA. And yeah, we are a widely spread team across

01:16.000 --> 01:24.800
Europe, US and Central America. This is a success story that has emerged from new innovation programs

01:24.880 --> 01:31.200
arriving nowadays to be the leader in several innovation projects like cognitive cloud or advanced

01:31.200 --> 01:36.960
5G, playing the key role in access forums here say and sharing the U cloud alliance and EPSIC's

01:36.960 --> 01:42.400
industry facilitation group. We are also members of Linux Foundation, cloud native computing

01:42.400 --> 01:50.320
foundation, Linux foundation edge and silver. That is about the company, now related to the product.

01:51.280 --> 01:57.920
We are handling the virtualization layer, offering a simple and simple solution and a light profile

01:58.960 --> 02:04.320
ensuring an extensible architecture and supporting multi-tenancy and multi-VM's. And art so

02:04.320 --> 02:10.160
is DevOps friendly. It supports virtual machines, system containers, and on top of virtual machines

02:10.160 --> 02:16.880
Kubernetes clusters. Talking about Kubernetes, we have our own distribution called one key

02:17.520 --> 02:24.080
and insights that distribution we have different add-ons. All those in order to support cloud

02:24.080 --> 02:31.760
edge continuum applications. We have multiple advantages trying to combine simplicity and agility

02:31.760 --> 02:38.720
of public cloud together with the performance and security of the private cloud. We try to bring

02:38.720 --> 02:45.360
the real freedom to your enterprise cloud, letting you to control as you wish your cloud,

02:45.680 --> 02:53.280
having customer approach to security privacy and management. We give the freedom to choose

02:54.160 --> 02:58.800
the infrastructure, offering a parallel choice of infrastructure and cloud providers,

02:58.800 --> 03:05.920
but also the freedom to change, avoiding vendor location. We support any kind of application.

03:07.440 --> 03:11.200
We measure Kubernetes and virtual machines. We deploy manage and provision those,

03:11.280 --> 03:15.840
any type of infrastructure across cloud edge continuum and any type of cloud.

03:16.880 --> 03:25.120
Saying those, let's get closer a little bit to our use cases. One H5G is a Spanish project

03:25.120 --> 03:32.080
that brought us in the telco and 5G world. And from this project, we were able to shape

03:32.080 --> 03:38.480
better our priorities, bringing intelligence and automation for the operation of distributed edge

03:38.480 --> 03:45.120
systems and beyond 5G infrastructures. We started focusing on 5G, but nowadays of course 5G

03:45.120 --> 03:51.600
being deployed, we have to shift our focus to beyond 5G or 6G how it's called. We need to satisfy

03:51.600 --> 03:56.640
the demand for opening European technology for beyond 5G telco cloud. We need to integrate the

03:56.640 --> 04:01.920
functionality of beyond 5G to improve the cloud continuum and to expand it, making use of open

04:01.920 --> 04:11.920
solutions to manage a moment of private and widely spread beyond 5G networks. As said, we need to

04:11.920 --> 04:17.760
expand the cloud edge continuum to new beyond 5G infrastructures and to facilitate the distributed

04:17.760 --> 04:23.280
management of cloud edge continuum for business and users. All those in order to create an

04:23.280 --> 04:28.640
ecosystem of research and innovation of advanced beyond 5G networks for next generation cloud edge.

04:29.200 --> 04:39.360
Talking about top priorities, as I said, we started as or we are the result as multiple European

04:40.160 --> 04:49.040
projects and we continue to support European Commission in all its ideas and diverse or initiatives.

04:49.040 --> 04:57.120
One of them is to enable the European Union started to have 10,000 climate neutral

04:58.080 --> 05:05.280
highly secure edge nodes. Here we are to what means highly distributed telco networks.

05:06.800 --> 05:12.800
If you look in the digital decade policy program for 2030, you will find this picture going from

05:12.800 --> 05:19.920
own device to cloud that can go thousands of kilometers away from devices and yeah, sovereign

05:19.920 --> 05:30.080
edge initiative will try to put all the European in-house initiatives in this big idea of

05:30.080 --> 05:39.840
European Union and to try to bring the cloud in a huge house cloud to this idea.

05:40.560 --> 05:47.040
Open Nebula Systems is committed to support this through multi-country large scale projects dedicated

05:47.040 --> 05:53.680
to data infrastructure, 5G communications, high-performance computing, AI farms, public administration,

05:53.680 --> 06:00.560
digital innovation hubs and to ensure that 75% of cloud update by EU enterprises in 2030.

06:01.600 --> 06:06.400
Also, we try to support the European SMEs willing to explore innovative business models.

06:08.320 --> 06:14.800
Another example of what means highly distributed cloud architecture is when operators are having

06:15.200 --> 06:25.680
very distributed network beyond the borders of a country or when new business solutions are appearing on

06:25.680 --> 06:33.600
the market, offering services across multiple countries or even multiple continental continents.

06:37.840 --> 06:44.000
Pricewaterhouse cooperates defined last year. This kind of new business models highlighted

06:44.000 --> 06:52.000
in the right table and what happens when we have a company that is solution co-platform co and

06:52.000 --> 06:57.600
net co developing solutions and products for business customers as convention services,

06:58.240 --> 07:02.400
bringing orchestrating and brokering services among multiple network companies and

07:02.400 --> 07:09.600
wholesale buyers or owning and operating fixed or mobile network that sell access and capacity

07:09.600 --> 07:17.440
to telecom as multi-asset world seller. The things are getting much more complicated to support

07:17.440 --> 07:23.520
those and we need to deal with long-fat networks that are having very high latencies and

07:25.440 --> 07:33.360
small throughput. Besides that, the target architecture should support new and very complex

07:34.320 --> 07:40.800
VM-based workloads such as firewalls, load balancers, routers and other non-generic compute services.

07:43.760 --> 07:47.200
In order to support this kind of initiative, so this kind of business models,

07:48.080 --> 07:54.160
we've in openable assistance, we try to adapt openable or with or better said, we try to map

07:54.160 --> 08:00.960
openable out to different initiatives. First of them talking about visualization is of course

08:00.960 --> 08:08.960
it's in a VMAM. I'm using here I think a release three picture and but the purpose is to say

08:08.960 --> 08:16.240
that openable is a VM in this context. Being robust and flexible, being designed for heterogeneous

08:16.240 --> 08:24.800
infrastructure, managing the software images, the virtualization resources, the performance,

08:25.360 --> 08:32.160
the NAV acceleration capabilities, but also ensuring the orchestration of usage and provisioning

08:32.160 --> 08:39.440
of the virtual infrastructure. Having a northbound interface towards VMFM and NVVU, but also a

08:39.440 --> 08:48.240
southbound interface to the NAVIs elements. In the same time, or in this context, as I highlighted before,

08:49.040 --> 08:53.280
it's not enough only to talk about virtual infrastructure manager, but also run infrastructure

08:53.440 --> 09:01.920
manager, which is a VM a little bit more particular. A second initiative to which openable

09:01.920 --> 09:10.640
a tries to map itself is infrastructure and service, openable assistance being a general sponsor

09:10.640 --> 09:16.400
of Linux Foundation in Europe City. Through that we are trying to ensure unified infrastructure

09:16.400 --> 09:21.040
as service layer, supporting a deployment of 5G networks over cloud edge continuum,

09:22.080 --> 09:27.600
and to that to easily and efficiently scale the networking computing capacity servers and

09:27.600 --> 09:32.960
or storage resources to their cloud tailored for every specific use case. We want to bridge the cloud

09:32.960 --> 09:37.520
edge continuum to the containers and service platform and in the same time to deliver the optimal

09:37.520 --> 09:44.400
performance for the services built on top. I mentioned before that we have one key distribution

09:44.400 --> 09:51.600
as well, that can act as a container as a service, but that will be led for a later phase.

09:51.600 --> 09:56.960
Anyhow, I just want to mention that is offered by ourselves to telecom actors benefiting from

09:56.960 --> 10:07.520
the control and orchestration down via a cap. Another flavor that open-nebula can fulfill in this context

10:07.520 --> 10:13.600
is the facilitator of the revitalization. Last year, Gardner brought to everyone's attention

10:13.600 --> 10:19.120
to the concept of revitalization, practically being a virtual to virtual migration.

10:20.240 --> 10:28.960
And of course, that means that arises from the idea to address a viability or commercial risk.

10:29.680 --> 10:34.160
It's a concept at its peak, being applicable to 5% to 20% of the companies.

10:34.880 --> 10:43.040
This has been on the market since more than 10 years, but now it's as its peak, as I said.

10:43.120 --> 10:49.200
And open-nebula systems supports this. And in the same time, tries to avoid

10:49.200 --> 10:54.240
devirtualization. That's a very big risk for the virtualization in this moment.

10:55.200 --> 11:02.720
And open-nebula has a very particular approach mapped on the advantages that open-nebula can offer

11:03.440 --> 11:11.520
what also on the projects where it participates. It offers a unified management for a single control

11:11.520 --> 11:17.600
pain. It ensures an easing migration from VMware, including dedicated feature and workflows.

11:17.600 --> 11:22.720
So we have developed that. We have developed those specifically for this use case.

11:22.720 --> 11:27.120
We try to enhance the security using open source solution for both VMs and containers.

11:27.840 --> 11:35.120
We ensure the scalability, helping to adapt VM container workloads to meet dynamic network demands,

11:35.120 --> 11:39.120
but also ensure the coexistence and seamless integration with other platforms.

11:39.120 --> 11:46.240
Because, of course, migrating from one virtualization platform to another cannot be done like that.

11:46.240 --> 11:49.360
In its time, so the coexistence is much needed.

11:51.600 --> 11:53.840
Coming back to this kind of example.

11:54.880 --> 11:58.720
Of course, we have to simulate that once we enter in this kind of project,

11:59.280 --> 12:04.240
the things will go smoothly. And for that, we perform an exercise with our partner

12:04.880 --> 12:12.080
and we try to simulate the long-fat networks. I mentioned them before and I would like to come back

12:12.080 --> 12:19.040
to them as I said. We have latencies that are over 200 milliseconds and the throughput is limited

12:19.040 --> 12:26.480
even to 100 megabits per second. Moreover, our partner said, we don't care about the infrastructure.

12:26.480 --> 12:31.040
We don't want to focus on that. That's your job. We want to focus on the functionality of the VMFs

12:31.040 --> 12:37.680
and those have to work without interruption. We want to avoid putting too much effort into

12:37.680 --> 12:46.480
underlying layer. And on top of that, we need to ensure that the coexistence of VM and containers

12:46.480 --> 12:56.640
can work. The points of presence that our partner had were resource constraint and more

12:56.640 --> 13:02.880
over they wanted multi-tenacity. So we entered in a very long exercise with them and that's still

13:02.880 --> 13:10.080
continuous. Ensuring that we have different types of points of presence, here I'm highlighting

13:10.080 --> 13:17.760
only two of them, a central one and a remote one, gathering storage networking, management, playing

13:17.760 --> 13:26.000
APIs, webgoos and, of course, open-nabla.net manages everything. And open-nabla is there to ensure that

13:26.080 --> 13:32.640
the migration of the VMs from one virtualization platform to another can be fulfilled. But also helps

13:33.520 --> 13:41.120
our partner to grow its basis or to why it's network in other locations as well.

13:43.120 --> 13:48.160
And yes, the tests were oriented towards virtual infrastructure manager because that was the language

13:48.240 --> 13:56.720
that our partner speaks. And we had to have a tailored test scenarios to showcase open-nabla's

13:56.720 --> 14:03.680
advantages. We started, of course, with VM-based features like host aggregation, back-apply recovery,

14:03.680 --> 14:11.200
long-fat network support, authentication, access control mechanism. The second step consisted

14:11.200 --> 14:17.760
into validating the VM-advanced features like tenant management, multi-image data store exposure,

14:18.560 --> 14:24.960
automatic, and manual host placement, manual installation of VM movement and relocation

14:24.960 --> 14:32.240
infrastructure usage and conception. And in the end, we showcased also the networking and enhanced

14:32.240 --> 14:38.720
platform awareness features like, obviously as the PDK SRI or the PCAPT in Numa awareness,

14:38.800 --> 14:44.320
your based Numa scheduling and Numa higher affinity, huge pages and CPU trading policies.

14:45.200 --> 14:49.920
All those to ensure that automatic and demand deployments of points of presence of

14:49.920 --> 15:00.560
bar metal support, bar metal servers are giving hypervisor is supported. We can use the existing infrastructure

15:00.560 --> 15:07.040
and we can add the PDK SRI before enhancing the performance. We can ensure that the central

15:07.120 --> 15:13.680
multi-tannent add-driven node management can exist and can support the whole deployment. We can

15:15.600 --> 15:20.880
use efficiently the infrastructure that we have at node and points of presence that I'm

15:20.880 --> 15:28.320
ensuring that open-nabla uses minimal hardware and everything else. Every other workload is using

15:28.320 --> 15:35.040
the available hardware efficiently. And in the same time, we avoid locking, increase flexibility,

15:35.040 --> 15:42.800
and we minimize the costs for our partner. Thank you very much, that was all, and that's

15:42.800 --> 15:47.600
I said, everything started from this project and we move forward with that one in order to

15:49.040 --> 15:55.120
map customer demands on our functionality and vice versa. Thank you very much.

15:55.920 --> 16:01.920
Yes, please.

16:10.560 --> 16:16.000
Epsices. Networks slices. We are not involved in that one.

16:19.040 --> 16:24.800
We can talk about that. I presented only two flavors. My colleagues will come later and we

16:24.800 --> 16:31.120
present another flavors. Some of them may be related to this one. Epsices, for example, which is

16:31.120 --> 16:36.480
the biggest European open source project and that can be also another flavor that can be mapped

16:36.480 --> 16:43.600
on clouded continuum and one of its sub-initiatives like Virtuaera that will be also presented.

16:43.600 --> 16:53.440
Yes, please. So, both those European governments are around 5G on top of open stock and governance

16:53.440 --> 17:00.880
on top of that. So, how do you position yourself? I mean, where do you see the market?

17:00.880 --> 17:06.800
We are also as an alternative to top of stock. And we are, all types of stuff, I know,

17:06.800 --> 17:13.440
are key are key things up and stuff. And we are in a place where the end of funders

17:14.240 --> 17:20.720
are going to Kubernetes, right? Yes. I'm very sure for example, and if you prefer to have

17:20.720 --> 17:29.280
their own Kubernetes and cluster, so I'm just thinking how you can, you know, how open the

17:29.280 --> 17:38.800
Google can position in this market, but it's already top out. We are a recent, yes, sorry.

17:40.080 --> 17:46.080
The gentleman here asked about how open, able, can be positioned in the 5G framework,

17:46.080 --> 17:50.560
taking to account that most of the operators are using open stack for the virtualization layer.

17:50.560 --> 17:58.400
And on top of that VNFs and moreover that operators are willing to move towards Kubernetes clusters.

17:59.520 --> 18:06.800
From open stack. Well, as I said, we are as an alternative to open stack and a lot of operators

18:06.800 --> 18:12.000
we like to migrate from that one, because when you deploy open stack, you need an army behind.

18:12.000 --> 18:21.280
Here is a 5 minutes deployment. And it's not really, not really. Not really.

18:21.840 --> 18:25.280
Not really. I read recently about a study that

18:25.920 --> 18:32.560
looking at the 5G stand-alone. There are very few operators that are using that. And 5G stand-alone

18:32.560 --> 18:40.960
was built for cloud-nated or having cloud-native in its base at its bases. Here, open-enbular

18:40.960 --> 18:46.160
arrives. We are supporting a green field virtualization. We are supporting Kubernetes on top of

18:46.960 --> 18:52.560
infrastructure service, on top of VMs, and also ensure the regularization, as I said.

18:53.120 --> 18:59.760
It's not only about VMware, it's also about open stack. And we have had few successful projects

18:59.760 --> 19:06.720
showcasing this kind of things. So it's not too late for us. On the contrary, we just arrived

19:06.720 --> 19:16.320
on this market and we are coming with a huge package of features that can help operators transition

19:16.400 --> 19:24.800
and make this kind of 5G deployments much smoother, easier to handle, easier to maintain.

19:24.800 --> 19:30.880
Is anyone currently using it? I mean, I asked my question, but I'm more here with y'all

19:30.880 --> 19:33.760
in conversation about it. I've got my hand out to you. Yes, please.

19:33.760 --> 19:34.160
Yes.

19:34.160 --> 19:39.360
What's the state of arms support? Have you seen the man for arms service in a few decades?

19:40.080 --> 19:49.280
Yes. The gentleman here asked about the state of the arm and if we saw the demand of arm on the

19:49.280 --> 19:56.640
market. Well, yes, we are on the verge to support it and express it through our EPSIC project.

19:56.640 --> 20:03.200
We'll bring that on the market. And we see some of our potential customers requiring this kind of thing

20:03.200 --> 20:09.360
because, as I said, we are supporting multiple types of clouds. And if we are getting closer to

20:10.160 --> 20:17.280
this, to the device or to on premise, we say the need for supporting this kind of low resources

20:17.280 --> 20:20.320
environments. Yes, please.

20:20.320 --> 20:27.280
I was talking about an appla. Our video is also allowed like IC and occupation, for example,

20:27.600 --> 20:34.560
when you call a border and you don't interrupt the connectivity one border and another one company.

20:39.600 --> 20:45.680
Yeah, the gentleman here asked about if open ebola supports this kind of transition moving from one

20:45.680 --> 20:55.280
country to another, crossing the border. I think that's what roaming is about, right? So you

20:57.440 --> 21:03.760
was the boy and you don't lose the connectivity? You actually lose the connectivity?

21:03.760 --> 21:10.880
Well, that for sure has to be handled at a higher level. It's not as the low level. We

21:10.880 --> 21:17.440
managing the cloud edge continuum. We do not have this kind of capacity to handle this with the

21:19.360 --> 21:25.280
upper layer messages between the coordinate work and the device for the for the telco. We ensure

21:25.360 --> 21:32.320
that all the resources are met for the 5G or 6G workloads. And through that, after what's happening

21:33.040 --> 21:37.360
at the upper layer is not all business anymore. Yes, please.

21:55.280 --> 22:06.160
Yes. Very good question. The lady behind us does about what kind of workloads we have

22:06.880 --> 22:16.160
on top of open ebola. And if we met this kind of picking us of different vendors, which we are

22:16.160 --> 22:24.400
cooperating. Yeah, that's not so public yet. We have multiple projects. If you look on our website,

22:24.480 --> 22:32.480
you will see a rise from Sweden that is public and uses multiple types of vendors on top of open

22:32.480 --> 22:42.800
ebola enabling different types of workloads on top of our product. But open ebola being so flexible

22:44.080 --> 22:52.000
hasn't created any issue for the moment, really regards to this kind of vendors. They works very

22:52.080 --> 22:59.200
well. And our partners who took open ebola handled that complexity for us if exists. But

22:59.200 --> 23:12.320
to our knowledge, it was some kind of like plug and play. Yeah. Any other questions?

23:12.320 --> 23:18.960
Thank you.
