certification's Introduction

COMING SOON: CNTI Certification - v2.0-beta

The Cloud Native Telecom Initiative (CNTI) Certification program provides a way for open and closed source network functions (ie applications providing networking functionality) to demonstrate their adoption of cloud native best practices with the help of a open source testing framework called the CNTI Test Catalog.

The certification program will continuously evolve. The CNTI focus areas, including the CNTI Best Practices, the CNTI Test Catalog, and the CNTI Certification, work together in defining and overseeing what it means to be a cloud native certified telco application (eg. CNF). Work on the mechanics of the certification tests occurs in the CNTI Test Catalog focus area.

Why Certification Matters

With such a wide array of applications being developed today, workload certification tests help ensure that developers can follow cloud native best practices when building greenfield applications and/or modernizing existing applications. A certified application provides the following benefits:

Interoperability: Make it easier for applications to work well with other applications and the cloud platforms they run on

Shared experience: Build upon the work of the community through the adoption of cloud native best practices

Predictability: Certified applications act in a predictable manner when running on cloud native infrastructure like Kubernetes. Unexpected behavior should be rare because application specific issues are weeded out during the best practice testing.

Timely updates: To remain certified, vendors need to certify with new releases of their product and pass new certification tests yearly, or more frequently, so you can be sure that the products are following the best practices adopted by the cloud native community.

Confirmability: Any end user can confirm that an application remains compliant to cloud native practices by running the identical open source certification application (CNTI Test Catalog) that was used to certify.

Implementing and running applications in a cloud native manner will enable you to more fully benefit from the advantages of cloud native infrastructure.

PSI Bridge now supports only 1 webcam

PSI Bridge now supports only 1 webcam which ever is used for the initial secure browser has to be used for the complete exam. The implication of this for candidates giving the certification exam on desktop systems is the wired USB camera should be able to show the ID card for verification purposes clearly. It is not possible to switch to desktop fixed camera for validating the ID and then to USB wired camera to show the exam room. The exam pre-flight check only measures the resolution of the camera and not its focus. Most USB webcams are having fixed focus have no option to adjust focus when showing ID cards. The name of the candidate has to be clearly visible for exam proctor to release the exam. This pre-check has to be done manually as of now.

[Discussion] Should we change how a product earns a certification badge for v2.1+?

Problem

How can we convey that an application is making great strides in the right direction, versus showcasing an application that is widely considered to be following the majority of agreed best practices?

What we have now:

The first level of certification requires the passing of 10 of the 15 total essential tests.

Alternatives to consider:

  • add more essential tests
  • create multi-tier certification badges (Platinum, Gold, Silver)
  • etc

[Discussion] New essential tests - zombies, reaping, init system

Copied from cnti-testcatalog/testsuite#1795

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The testing of microservices currently verifies that there is only one process type per container (#156). The weight of this test (10 of 15) may be too heavy for those CNFs that need high performance and were originally engineered to have multiple process types within one container.

Describe the solution you'd like
The new version of the certification should include three new microservice tests: #1719, #1722 and #8. The rational for these can be found at: https://www.infoq.com/articles/cloud-native-network-functions-concern/
With three new tests, the weighting of the original test (#156) will be reduced by having three other microservice tests added into the essential tests. This will make the multiple process type test 1/4th of its original weighting.
