Open Networking Summit North America 2018

To introduce the 5G network, telco must employ several technologies such as NFV/MEC/vRAN. These are based on OSS. In KDDI, we have experienced a major change from the support & maintenance phase through developing the OSS based NFV environment. We realize that skillful OSS engineers are the key to this change.

How do we secure OSS engineers? KDDI’s solution is education, not recruitment. According to our strategy, we have launched an OSS hands-on lab named “Terakoya” which features (1) learning VIM/NFVI through building and troubleshooting, and (2) CI/CD platform for Kaizen using Rancher/Jenkins and etc. Documents and codes are maintained by participants through the full CI/CD process. We have 100+ yearly alumni who are Level 3 LPI-Japan classified. In this session, you can learn the benefits of educating existing members and how to build labs that yield agility/flexibility/dynamicity.
