Intro and Deep Dive to the CNF Working Group
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Friday, 2021-10-15· at 17:25· Room 501 ABC + Online·
summary
CNF Working Group defines concrete best practices for running Cloud Native Network Functions on Kubernetes, with an emphasis on portability, flexibility, extensibility, automatability. Work targets real problems: how to give pods multiple interfaces, packet‑by‑packet dataplanes such as a bump‑in‑the‑wire firewall, lifecycle and onboarding for telco pipelines, least‑privilege security patterns, and large deployments like 5G packet core and RAN. Deliverables include a CNF Test Suite, collaboration channels, and written guidance tied to reproducible use cases.
