Minutes

SIG Automation

• Some updates from KubeCon

• @Istvan Kispal presented proposal for elimination of tasklist and 3-way merge, which took up most of the time

  • Recording worth listening to as this will be a significant improvement

• Previous week was KubeCon so no meetings were held

• Bala discussed the user stories, they seem in good shape to go ahead

• Issue with upstream repos when we changed from revision-based tracking - this is a bug that needs to be fixed

• there is another issue brought up on “general” which needs further triaging

SIG Network Architecture

• R5 planning is set in terms of scope and execution

• No meeting this week due to absences

• Blueprint for the architecture needs to begin and a roadmap for R6

• Also need to bring some synergies with the Sylva group

  • @Timo Perala , @Eric Debeau , @Sagar Arora , @Stefan Bjurström should join to discuss

  • The proposal is to set up a meeting in 1 month

  • Many of the same problems are being addressed in both communities so we should aim for some synergies

  • Call to TSC to enable / encourage participation

  • We will fix up a date in the next SIG NW Arch meeting

SIG Release

• no update

SIG Security

• No update

Other updates

• Deprecation / removal of Free5GC

  • We are using an out-dated version of this workload and it has not been updated since R1

  • No-one is maintaining it

  • There is limited / no support from the community

  • We have no capacity in Nephio to maintain it

  • Planned features for R5 will only be implemented on OAI

  • There is a poll for this here: https://github.com/nephio-project/nephio/discussions/891

  • Disadvantages of taking this approach:

    • We will implicitly couple ourselves to OAI if we do not maintain multiple workloads in Nephio

    • there are changes coming in core specifications in the future that will need to be verified across multiple “vendors”

  • Options:

    • Continue to maintain the workload as a going concern

    • break out the code to a standalone repo and mark as deprecated / out-of-date, and ask for community engagement to uplift it

    • Formally deprecate / remove (with a timeline - e.g. a 6-month / two release window for people to step up)

      @balaji varadaraju and @Fiachra Corcoran will bring an action item to next TSC
