<p class="MsoNormal">Great to see everyone at the summit! For those not in attendance and interested, see the below etherpad that is being used to collect input and requirements as our team moves forward with work. I have also included the outcomes that I have

<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate all the feedback during the forum session, and it was great to have active participation on how to grow and shape this unique feature. We discussed the feature, what it allows,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">how to actually leverage it, and discussed about further refining the applicable use cases so that operators and users can effectively use it and to help drive interest. A prime example was<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">of a company wanting to shift their infra from x86_64 to arm for the sake of power consumption, and whether this feature could lend its hand to perform some initial fact finding and testing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The answer is yes, you can spin up some of the infra (in your desired arch) on top of your existing deployment and perform your tests and validations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the great items that came out of the discussion was that this can not only be to support education, research, and training but it can act as a great 1st step within planning. Meaning<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">when you are going from the drawing board to implementation, you can now model and design your network environments within the cloud for IT and OT systems. This is where refining the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">use cases really came to light, as our organization leverages OpenStack as a private cloud for hosting extremely customizable network environments (i.e. enterprise iT, IOT, Critical infrastructure,<o:p></o:p></p>
