Project Proposal “NGVS” Nextgen VIM Scheduler
8 March 2017
Wassim Haddad, Ericsson
Amar Kapadia, Aarna Networks

2. Problem Statement
New upcoming requirements for the VIM scheduler (currently OpenStack Nova)
Higher performance
Higher density of compute instances
Higher security
Greater support for distributed NFV (MEC, network edge virtualization, vCPE)

3. Solution: Containers 10x density 10x faster boot time Lower security
Scaling NFV – Are containers the answer
OpenStack + Kubernetes + Hypercontainer = The Container Platform for NFV
Container Integrated for NFV

10x density
10x faster boot time
Lower security
Others thinking similarly
OPNFV already has container projects
3 K8s scenarios in Danube
LXD support
OpenRetriver
OpenStack Boston Summit has 18 NFV + Container Proposals

4. Solution: Unikernels 10x density 100x faster boot time 2x performance
Fast enough to support serverless (event driven) scheduling
2x performance
Higher security
But requires VNF recompile
See Unikernel presentation by Wassim & Heikki

5. Net-net
VM, containers and unikernels need to be supported all at once – on the same service chain
Static and serverless scheduling both need to be supported
Full support for distributed NFV

6. Project Description Requirements Collection
Reconfirm Nova as the best option or identify another open source scheduler (e.g. container orchestration engines)
Reconfirm KVM as the best hypervisor option or identify another open source hypervisor
Influence upstream project(s) to incorporate new requirements

7. Out-of-Scope Upstream code contribution Integration
Testing
Documentation
We are excluding these items to contain the scope of the project. We might request a scope expansion once this phase is complete.
