<p><span lang=EN-US>Hi all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>I'm from China Mobile, China Mobile is recently working on
build a new </span><span lang=EN-US>information</span><span lang=EN-US> </span><span
lang=EN-US>infrastructure</span><span lang=EN-US> focusing on connectivity,
computing power, and capabilities, this new information infrastructure is
called Computing Force Ne</span><span lang=EN-US>t</span><span lang=EN-US>work,
we think OpenStack community which gathers global wisdom together is a perfect
platform to discuss topics like CFN, so we are proposing to creat</span><span
lang=EN-US>e</span><span lang=EN-US> a new SIG for CFN(Computing Force
Network). Below is CFN brief </span><span lang=EN-US>introduction</span><span
lang=EN-US> and initial SIG scope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>With the flourish of new business </span><span lang=EN-US>scenarios</span><span
lang=EN-US> such as hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, AI, big data processing, edge
computing, building a new information infrastructure based on multiple key
technologies that converged cloud and network, will better support global
digital transformation. This new infrastructure is not only relates to cloud,
it is getting more and more connected with network, and at the same time, we
also need to consider how to converge multiple technologies like AI,
Blockchain, big data, security to provide this all-in-one service.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>Computing Force Network(CFN) is a new information
infrastructure that based on network, focused on computing, deeply converged
Artificial intelligence, Block chain, Cloud, Data, Network, Edge computing, End
application, Security(ABCDNETS)</span><span lang=EN-US>, </span><span
lang=EN-US>providing all-in-one services. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>Xiaodong Duan, Vice president of China Mobile Research
Institute, introduced the vision and architecture of Computing Force Network in
2021 November OpenInfra Live Keynotes by his presentation <i>Connection +
Computing + Capability Opens a New Era of Digital Infrastructure</i>, he
proposed the new era of CFN. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>We are expecting to work with OpenStack on how to build
this new information infrastructure, and how to promote the develo</span><span
lang=EN-US>pment</span><span lang=EN-US> and implement</span><span lang=EN-US>ation</span><span
lang=EN-US> of next generation infrastructure, achieve ubiquitous computing
force, computing & network convergence, intelligence orchestration,
all-in-one service. Then computing </span><span lang=EN-US>force </span><span
lang=EN-US>will become common utilities like water and electric step by step, </span><span
lang=EN-US>computing force </span><span lang=EN-US>will be ready for access
upon use and connected by single entry point. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>The above vision of CFN , from technical perspective, will
mainly focus on unified management and orchestration of computing + network
integrated system, computing and network deeply converged in </span><span
lang=EN-US>architecture,</span><span lang=EN-US> </span><span lang=EN-US>form</span><span
lang=EN-US> </span><span lang=EN-US>and proto</span><span lang=EN-US>cols
aspect, brin</span><span lang=EN-US>ging</span><span lang=EN-US> potential
changes to OpenStack components. CFN is aiming to achieve seamlessly migration
of any application between any heterogeneous platforms, it's a </span><span
lang=EN-US>challenge</span><span lang=EN-US> for the industry currently, we
feel that in </span><span lang=EN-US>pursuit</span><span lang=EN-US> of CFN
could potentially contributes to the </span><span lang=EN-US>development and
evolution </span><span lang=EN-US>of OpenStack.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>In this CFN SIG, we will mainly focus on discussing how to
build the new information infrastructure of CFN, related key technologies, and
what's the impact on OpenStack brought by the network & could convergence
trend , the topics are including but not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:10.5pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US>1, </span><span
lang=EN-US>A computing basement for unified management of container, VM and
Bare Metal</span><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:10.5pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US>2,
Computing infrastructure which eliminated the difference between </span><span
lang=EN-US>heterogeneous</span><span lang=EN-US> hardware <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:10.5pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US>3,
Measurement criteria and scheduling scheme based on unified computing
infrastructure<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:10.5pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US>4,
Network solutions for SDN integrating smart NIC for data center<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:10.5pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US>5,
Unified orchestration & management for "network + cloud", and </span><span
lang=EN-US>"cloud + edge + end" integrated scheduling solution</span><span
lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>We will have regular meetings to investigate and discuss
business </span><span lang=EN-US>scenarios</span><span lang=EN-US>, development
trend, </span><span lang=EN-US>technical</span><span lang=EN-US> scheme,
release technical documents, technical proposal and requirements for OpenStack
Projects, and propose new project when necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>We will also collaborate with other open source projects
like LFN, CNCF, LFE, t</span><span lang=EN-US>o have a consistent plan across
communities, and</span><span lang=EN-US> align with global </span><span
lang=EN-US>standardization</span><span lang=EN-US> </span><span lang=EN-US>organization</span><span
lang=EN-US> like ETSI, 3GPP, IETF, to promote CFN related technical scheme
become the standard in industry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>If you have any thoughts, interests, questions,
requirements, </span><span lang=EN-US>we can discuss by this mailing</span><span
lang=EN-US> list</span><span lang=EN-US>.</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
