Open Baton is the result of an agile design process having as major objective the development of an extensible and customizable framework capable of orchestrating network services across heterogeneous NFV Infrastructures. In this current release, Open Baton significantly increased the list of features provided. It can manage a diverse ecosystem of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), through its Generic EMS and Generic VNFM, composing them runtime in any kind of network services. It integrates with existing VNFMs via a plug-and-play model, exposing AMQP and RESTful APIs, as well as SDKs in different programming languages (Java, Python, Go). Developing a VNFM adapter takes minutes using the SDKs and tutorials provided. It manages a multi-site NFVI supporting heterogeneous virtualization and cloud technologies. Although OpenStack is the major supported VIM, it provides a driver mechanism for supporting additional VIM types. It supports multi-tenancy, aka network slicing, at the infrastructure level making use of SDN technologies for ensuring isolation between multiple network services sharing the same physical resources. It supports runtime operations fullfilling the needs of the FCAPS model integrating external Operational Support Services (OSS) components. For instance, it provides autoscaling and fault management based on monitoring information coming from the the monitoring system available at the NFVI level. Learn More
