No, that's not the challenge for OpenStack.
That's like saying the challenge for gasoline is how to enable the
innovation of a jet engine.
So telco use cases is not only the innovation built on top of OpenStack.
Instead, telco use cases, e.g. Gluon (NFV networking), vCPE Cloud, Mobile
Cloud, Mobile Edge Cloud, brings the needed requirement for innovation in
OpenStack itself. If OpenStack don't address those basic requirements,
That's the thing, Bin, those are *not* "basic" requirements. The Telco
vCPE and Mobile "Edge cloud" (hint: not a cloud) use cases are asking
for fundamental architectural and design changes to the foundational
components of OpenStack. Instead of Nova being designed to manage a
bunch of hardware in a relatively close location (i.e. a datacenter or
multiple datacenters), vCPE is asking for Nova to transform itself into
a micro-agent that can be run on an Apple Watch and do things in
resource-constrained environments that it was never built to do.
And, honestly, I have no idea what Gluon is trying to do. Ian sent me
some information a while ago on it. I read it. I still have no idea what
Gluon is trying to accomplish other than essentially bypassing Neutron
entirely. That's not "innovation". That's subterfuge.
the innovation will never happen on top of OpenStack.
Sure it will. AT&T and BT and other Telcos just need to write their own
software that runs their proprietary vCPE software distribution
mechanism, that's all. The OpenStack community shouldn't be relied upon
to create software that isn't applicable to general cloud computing and
cloud management platforms.
An example is - self-driving car is built on top of many technologies, such as
sensor/camera, AI, maps, middleware etc. All innovations in each technology
(sensor/camera, AI, map, etc.) bring together the innovation of self-driving
car.
Yes, indeed, but the people who created the self-driving car software
didn't ask the people who created the cameras to write the software for
them that does the self-driving.
WE NEED INNOVATION IN OPENSTACK in order to enable the innovation built on top
of OpenStack.
You are defining "innovation" in an odd way, IMHO. "Innovation" for the
vCPE use case sounds a whole lot like "rearchitect your entire software
stack so that we don't have to write much code that runs on set-top boxes."
Just being honest,

We need innovation, starting from not limiting ourselves from bringing new idea
and new use cases, and bringing those impossibility to reality.
There is innovation in OpenStack, and there is innovation in things built on
top of OpenStack. We are simply trying to keep the two layers from getting
confused.
