VNF Onboarding Hackathon
VMware, Intel and Cloudify will be hosting an open VNF on-boarding hackathon at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC). The hackathon aims to accelerate cloud-based telecom service deployments by addressing one of the key challenges of Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); the ease of onboarding Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).
The hackathon will walk delegates through the use of the tools to achieve three outcomes:
- Create a basic TOSCA blueprint for their VNF
- Customize the blueprint with more advanced settings[NS2]
- Working with other participants, combine VNF blueprints into a fully featured Network Service Blueprint.
