We drive OpenShift cross-market customer success and new customer adoption with constant improvements and feature additions to the existing capabilities of our OpenShift Core Networking (SDN, Network Edge, Network Observability). This feature captures that natural progression of the product for that development that does not align neatly to an existing Jira Feature.

Goals

• Feature enhancements (performance, scale, configuration, UX, ...)
• Modernization (incorporation and productization of new technologies)

Requirements

• Core Networking Stability
• Core Networking Performance and Scale
• Core Neworking Extensibility (e.g. Multus CNIs)
• Core Networking UX (Observability)
• Core Networking Security and Compliance

In Scope

• SDN (CNI plugins: openshift-sdn, ovn-kubernetes, network plumbing, network policy, bare metal networking, traffic routing, ...)

Out of Scope

There are grey areas, but in general:

• CNV
• Service Mesh
• CNF
• Telco-specific customer solutions (versus in-product features)
