ETSI TeraFlowSDN Controller Tutorials

Abstract

This document provides a walkthrough on how to prepare your environment for executing and contributing to the ETSI TeraFlowSDN OSG.

This walkthrough makes some reasonable assumptions to simplify the deployment of the ETSI TeraFlowSDN controller, the execution of experiments and tests, and development of new contributions. In particular, we assume:

• VirtualBox version 6.1.34 r150636
• VSCode with the Remote SSH extension
• VM software:
  • Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • MicroK8s

Contact

If your environment does not fit with the proposed assumptions and you experience issues preparing it to work with the ETSI TeraFlowSDN controller, contact the ETSI TeraFlowSDN OSG team through Slack
