Re: [Nfvrg] FW: New Version Notification for draft-unify-nfvrg-challenges-00.txt

Many thanks Robert for the interesting draft. Some initial comments/thoughts below.

>> We argue that given the multi-level virtualization of compute,
   storage and network domains, automation of the corresponding resource
   provisioning needs a recursive programmatic interface.  Existing
   separated compute and network programming interfaces cannot provide
   such recursions and cannot satisfy key requirement for multi-vendor,
   multi-technology and multi-provider interoperability environments.
   Therefore we foresee the necessity of a recursive programmatic
   interface for joint compute, storage and network provisioning.

Ramki: I believe energy is an as aspect which is worth mentioning explicitly. Some examples are -- NFV PoPs may have constraints on maximum energy consumption, idle power consumption has dependency on server-type etc.

Thanks,
Ramki

Abstract:
   The introduction of network and service functionality virtualization
   in carrier-grade networks promises improved operations in terms of
   flexibility, efficiency, and manageability.  In current practice,
   virtualization is controlled through orchestrator entities that
   expose programmable interfaces according to the underlying resource
   types.  Typically this means the adoption of, on the one hand,
   established data center compute/storage and, on the other, network
   control APIs which were originally developed in isolation.  Arguably,
   the possibility for innovation highly depends on the capabilities and
   openness of the aforementioned interfaces.  This document introduces
   in simple terms the problems arising when one follows this approach
   and motivates the need for a high level of programmability beyond
   policy and service descriptions.  This document also summarizes the
   challenges related to orchestration programming in this unified cloud
   and carrier network production environment.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
