Open Networking & Edge Summit 2020

The OPNFV Verification Program (OVP), which was kicked off in fall of 2018, is an open source, community-led compliance and verification program to demonstrate the readiness and availability of commercial NFV products and services, including NFVI and VNFs, using OPNFV and ONAP components.

Now entering its second phase, the program is shifting towards a focus on cloud native network functions (CNFs) as they become more pervasive alternatives to VMs. An established initiative, OVP has the infrastructure and governance already in place and is ready to move forward and explore what it means to be a cloud native NFVI and how to automate testing and compliance in this new space.

Coming off the heels of successfully demonstrating an end-to-end, global, 5G, cloud native network live on-stage at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, industry experts will include lessons learned from this demo as they discuss the next iteration of OVP.
