#3 TREND: CONTAINERS

Container Adoption

4 © 2017 WIND RIVER. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

➢ The virtualization layer is starting to mature beyond VMs

➢ CSPs and OEMs starting to explore Linux Container technologies as

viable alternative to VMs for VNFs

➢ Some workloads will remain running on bare metal for maximum

efficiency

Containers

VMs

Container in a VM▪ Better HW resource sharing

▪ separate kernel for each VM/VNF

▪ separate user space

▪ HIGHEST LEVEL OF ISOLATION & SECURITY

▪ HIGHER OVERHEAD wrt both resources and performance

OS / System Container▪ Lighter-weight virtualization

▪ Containers deployed standalone;with full user space image

▪ SINGLE kernel

▪ Designed to run mulitiple processes,typically a full OS Distribution

▪ Ideal for embedded type applications e.g. LXC, Linux VServer, BSD Jails

Application Container▪ Even more light-weight virtualization

▪ SINGLE kernel, can have separate user space

▪ Small Layers that reference other Layers,

▪ Designed to run single service / process (microservices)

▪ e.g. Docker, Rocket

TodayArea of

Focus

Future

Exploration

➢ Wind River innovating with containers for Linux

✓ Wind River Linux supporting LxC, Dockers, xxxxx

✓ Innovating and Contributed ‘OverC’ container management project for Linux

➢ Wind River Titanium Cloud supports Container Orchestration Engines (COEs)

✓ Docker Swarm

✓ Kubernetes

➢ Laying foundation for Bare Metal Edge Node management

# 2 TREND: ORCHESTRATION

8 © 2017 WIND RIVER. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

What is NFV Orchestration

➢ On-boarding of new network services (NS) and virtual

network function (VNF) packages

➢ Network Service lifecycle management

➢ Global resource management

➢ Validation and authorization of network functions

virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) resource requests

Evolution of NFV Orchestration

1. Initially a void of technology and solutions in the area of Management

and Network Orchestration (MANO)

2. Many OEMs acquired or created their own solutions

3. Then many competing Open Source groups

4. NOW a convergence and consolidation to a single Open Source

solution

5. A major workgroup in OPNFV

The Announcement @ MWC Feb 2017 & Coverage

Will it all be successful? Probably….. Tom Nolle (industry analyst)

“It could garner two-thirds to three-fourths of all operators…..”
