TY - CONF AB - Despite recent progress in orchestration of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and in multi-technology SDN connectivity, the automated provisioning of end-to-end network services composed of virtual functions deployed across distributed compute locations remains an open challenge. This problem is especially relevant to support the deployment of future 5G networks, comprising virtual access and core network functions connected through a potentially multi-domain transport network. In this paper, we present and demonstrate the 5GOS, a lightweight end-to-end orchestration framework that enables the automated provisioning of virtual radio access network services. Using an experimental multi-domain testbed we demonstrate that the 5GOS can provision multi-domain virtual Wi-Fi and LTE services in less than three minutes.

While 5GPPP has identified smart manufacturing as one of the most important vertical industries, there is still a lack of specific, practical use cases. Using the experience from a large-scale manufacturing company, Weidm{\"u}ller Group, we present a detailed use case that reflects the needs of real-world manufacturers. We also propose an architecture with specific network services and virtual network functions (VNFs) that realize the use case in practice. As a proof of concept, we implement the required services and deploy them on an emulation-based prototyping platform. Our experimental results indicate that a fully virtualized smart manufacturing use case is not only feasible but also reduces machine interconnection and configuration time and thus improves productivity by orders of magnitude.

The 5GTANGO NFV platform enables SLAs through policies and custom service lifecycle management components. This allows the operator to trigger certain lifecycle management events for a service, and the network service developer to define how to execute such events (e.g., how to scale). In this demo we will demonstrate this unique 5GTANGO concept using an elastic proxy service supported by a high availability SLA enforced through a range of traffic regimes.

Current work mostly focuses on high-level scenarios or emulation-based prototype deployments. Extending our previous work, we showcase one of the first cloud-native 5G verticals focusing on the deployment of smart manufacturing use cases on production infrastructure. In particular, we use the 5GTANGO service platform to deploy our developed network services on Kubernetes. For this demo, we implemented a series of cloud-native virtualized network functions (VNFs) and created suitable service descriptors. Their light-weight, stateless deployment on Kubernetes enables quick instantiation, scalability, and robustness.
