The road to 5G! First live 5G trial of the 5G ESSENCE project at the Egaleo Football stadium, many thanks to Dimitris Tzempelikos for organizing the event, and Ακαδημία Ποδοσφαίρου Α.Ο. Θεμιστοκλής for being the first 5G team! Video Photos
Take the “red pill” and let’s dive into monitoring basics with Prometheus. Post structure: KEEP IT SIMPLE COUNTERS rate() vs irate() CPU usage Setup Keep It Simple source: https://www.robustperception.io/keep-it-simple-scrape_interval-id spoiler: Keep things simple. Pick one scrape interval, and stick with it. Preferably not just per Prometheus, but across your team/organisation. A value in the range […]
What did we talk about? This week, the subject of our MNLAB meetup was Kubernetes! Well…, not only Kubernetes but also a few other topics which are included in the following presentation title. We started with a short history of how things evolved from the bare-metal age, to what we call today serverless. Then we […]
SONATA announces the launch of an upgraded release of its integrated service platform, SONATA 3.0, which includes all the software components developed, integrated, tested and qualified within the time frame of the project. Read our press release here
SONATA H2020 project, where NCSRD is participating, officially announces the launch of its release 2.0, the third official software release delivered since the project started in July 2015. SONATA is developing a Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) service framework that provides a programming model and development tool chain for virtualized services, fully integrated with a DevOps-enabled […]
In this tutorial we will show detailed instructions and debugging info, in order to deploy a DPDK enabled OVS on an Openstack Newton environment, on Ubuntu 16.04. First and foremost you must have a working Openstack Newton environment with OVS networking. Secondly you need to have a DPDK enabled OVS, built and running on your […]
The proposal of the MediaNet Lab in the first open-call of the SoftFIRE project has been accepted and therefore MediaNet Lab will participate in the first experiments of the SoftFIRE project. SoftFIRE aims at creating an ecosystem of organizations around the technological field of NFV/SDN and and its evolution towards 5G developments. In order to achieve this […]
In the framework of the EC-funded research project VITAL, MediaNet lab presented at EC premises during the second review meeting, the v2.0 of the VITAL NFV Manager: A lightweight NFV Orchestrator, capable of composing, deploying, instantiating and managing a Virtual Satellite Network (i.e. a Network Service which includes beyond the terrestrial VNFs, also virtualised Satellite […]
The First International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2016) in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE NFV-SDN conference, 7-9 November, Palo Alto, California, USA Workshop website: http://computing.derby.ac.uk/sns2016/ CALL FOR PAPERS Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) have changed the networking industry dramatically. NFV virtualizes network services by utilizing virtualization technologies to reduce the […]
Single Root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in networking is a very useful and strong feature for virtualized network deployements. SRIOV is a specification that allows a PCI device, for example a NIC or a Graphic Card, to share access to its resources among various PCI hardware functions: Physical Function (PF) (meaning the real physical device), from it […]
In this post we will show how to configure a compute node in OpenStack to launch Docker containers. We assume that you already have a working OpenStack installation. The configuration we describe below worked for OpenStack Juno, while the controller and compute nodes were running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Install Docker and Docker driver for OpenStack on […]
In the frame of the EU funded ICT T-NOVA Project, Medianetlab will host one of the project’s pilot sites. The project has presented an initial reference demonstrator architecture based on the integration of Openstack and Opendaylight constituting the Virtualised Infrastructure Manager for the Network Function VIrtualisation Infrastructure (NFVI. The first take on T-NOVA high-level architecture […]
