Integrating Kubernetes CNFs and OpenStack VNFs with Tungsten Fabric
We will demonstrate the features based on a couple of deployment scenarios. We will start with a simple network filter running as a VNF on OpenStack and go through a basic demonstration on replacing it with a Kubernetes pod. Then we will show the advantages of combining VNFs and CNFs with a mixed load-balanced multipath service chain and finish with a full on-line replacement scenario of the VNF with a CNF while synchronizing state and assuring the continuity of traffic.
This will demonstrate the TF abilities to integrate OpenStack and Kubernetes workloads with a single control plane, offering: shared networking, L2/L3 connectivity, network policing and service chaining. This unified control plane can be used directly or to ease implementation of higher-level orchestrator projects like ONAP and OPNFV, helping in the adoption of Cloud-native Network Functions.
