ETSI NFV Specs’ Requirements vs OpenStack Reality forum

5 years ago, ETSI NFV started generating the industry momentum around Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in telco. To this day, it remains the forum with the broadest representation of telco service providers, vendors, regulators and other stakeholders in that space.

From an implementer’s perspective, however, the vast amount of ETSI NFV specs with their technology-agnostic, formal language can be daunting. One and a half year ago, a small team of valiant souls from within ETSI NFV set out to decode the cloud API specs and document in how far OpenStack meets user requirements expressed in those specs.

We had a great session in Boston and a fruitful workshop in Denver where we presented an overview of what is done in the gap analysis, invited users/operators to provide feedback on the results, their priorities from the list, and what else they might see missing. As we were able to cover only a small fractions of the gaps in the first two sessions we believe there is a need to continue the discussion in Sydney also.
