The following is a high-level Roadmap for Aether OnRamp.

Infrastructure Improvements

General improvements to the DevOps tooling/infrastructure that supports Aether.

• Support Ubuntu 24.04.
• Migrate CI jobs to GitHub Actions.
• Make UPF subnets configurable (so can run multiple instantiations of Aether on the same LAN).
• Add option to install Aether behind a proxy.

Near-term Blueprints

Configuration options that OnRamp should be able to support. These features have previously been demonstrated in other settings, but need to be packaged for release as OnRamp blueprints.

• Configure with a second (and third) base station.
• Configure with example edge app to demo local breakout.
• Configure with Monitoring Alerts.
• Configure with secure login using Keycloak.
• Configure with ElasticStack (collect and display logs).

Long-term Goals

Towards the goal of an end-to-end software-defined 5G network.

• Configure with multiple SD-Core Control Planes.
• Configure with multiple sites under centralized control.
• Expand RAN options, especially ones that utilize SD-RAN:
  
  • Rearchitected RANSIM
  • nFAPI Emulator
  • ...
