Working Groups

API and Behavioral Model

The API and Behavioral Model Working Group is focused on defining the object models for each of the components and services on the DPU; both host system facing and control/management facing.

Provisioning and Platform Management

The Provisioning and Platform Management Working Group is focused on building solutions for DPUs in the areas of Discovery & Provisioning, Inventory, Boot sequencing, Lifecycle & Updates, and Monitoring & Telemetry.

Developer Platform/PoC/Reference Architecture

The Dev Platform / PoC Working Group is focused on creating a developer / test platform which mimics the DPU devices so that applications can be run and tested without having to invest in hardware.

Use Case

The Use Case working group is focused on creating an open channel with end users and potential deployment partners to gather desired use cases and share the work being done by the working groups with the goal to get feedback from the end users and deployment partners.

Outreach

The charter of the Outreach working group is where recruiting for additional project members, events coordination, vision discussions, and marketing related activities will take place.
