SEBA Blueprint is a member of the Telco Appliance blueprint family and provides an appliance tuned to support the ONFSDN-enabled Broadband Access (SEBA) platform. The SEBA blueprint will utilize utilizes a reusable set of modules introduced by the first example of the Telco Appliance blueprint family, Radio Edge Cloud (REC). The first use case of the SEBA blueprint is for virtual broadband access using XGS-PON. XGS-PON is a 10-Gbps symmetric passive optical network, standardized in the G.987.x series of ITU-T Recommendations.
...
- Installation of host OS
- Configuration of network
- Installation/setup of Kubernetes cluster
- Installation/validation for SEBA components (VOLTHA, NEM, ONOS)
- Utilization of reusable components of the “Telco Appliance” blueprint family
- Automated Continuous Deployment pipeline testing the software stack (bottom to top, from firmware up to but not including application)
- Integration with Regional Controller (Akraino Feature Project) for “zero touch” deployment of SEBA to edge sites
- Deployability to multiple hardware models (future)
High level architectural view:
(highlight differences from REC??The difference between the high level architectural views for SEBA and REC is in the upstream components that are included (VOLTHA, ONOS, NEM for SEBA and RIC components for REC). Note that some development development of some of the common elements (such as Elasticity and High Availability) for the Telco Appliance family will occur in future phases).
Objectives
- Fully automated simultaneous deployment and testing on multiple hardware platforms
- Blueprint defines exact hardware configurations
- Each hardware variant is deployed into a Continuous Deployment system that runs the full test suite
- Appliance model automates the installation, configuration and testing of:
- Firmware and/or BIOS/UEFI
- Base Operating System
- Components for management of containers, performance, fault, logging, networking, CPU
- Application:
- SEBA is the application running on the Telco Appliance
- Note: Full SEBA application testing falls under the scope of ONF
Components of SEBA

Note: For Akraino Release 2, the TA ISO and REC ISO are identical, so the SEBA application is installed directly on REC; as such, the only difference between the SEBA Component list and the REC Component list is the addition of VOLTHA, ONOS, and NEM upstream components. Further information on VOLTHA, ONOS, and NEM can be found at the following links:
