WG06 Hackathon Opportunity study

This page is dedicated to collaboratively imagine a Hackathon on Kubernetes operators for CSPs leveraging GitOps methodology.

The goal is to define the perimeter of the event, its format, collect the candidate operators and the possible participants. This page is open for edition, feel free to contribute.

Perimeter

The event shall focus on creating Kubernetes operators to simplify Telco solution deployment, specifically discussing vendor configuration operators and APN/MPN business operators. A critical mass of participants (CSPs and vendor) is needed.

Operators

We may distinguish different level of operators depending on your GitOps journey. Lots of operators are described in Operatorhub Some of the WG member already developed, are developing or using operators. presentations have been done during WG06 sessions.

We may indicate in this category:

• Schema Driven Configuraion
• NetBox Operator
• Harbor Configuration Operator

We can imagine some interested for Telco oriented operators for:

• Security (Trivy, Falco, KubeArmor, Neuvector, Starboard,... )
• Observability (loki, OpenTelemetry)

The main interest seems to be use case operators:

• APN
• X

Audience

The event is integrator/developer oriented. the goal is to produce and test code.

Expected participants are:

• Telco Devops Team
• Vendor
• Open Source contributors

Event Format

• Event –3 months:
• List of candidate operators, description of the stake, objective during monthly WG06
• Identification of the operator leaders (vendor+Telco+..)
• Call for participation
• Event –1 month:
• Building the teams
• Day 1: Presentation of the operators
• Day 1-2-3: Hackathon, development and tests of the oeprators
