D2.4 Initial pilot test and validation

The present deliverable is the Initial report about the first functional tests and 5G end to end facility validation. It provides the overall situation of the E2E facility implementation status corresponding to the project’s MS9 Second release of the 5G end to end facility in M24. Special attention has been paid to the 5G infrastructure performance metrics.
The document also goes through all the 5G EVE pilots providing detailed information about the activities performed in the scope of 5G EVE project since last year, their implementation and integration status in the E2E site facility, and the roadmap for activities in the upcoming months. Although the obvious impact of the COVID19 on the Use Cases and Pilots deployments and executions, mostly related to the activities that needed a physical access to the facilities, the consortium has made a big effort to preserve the original roadmap. This has allowed to reach a good level of integration with the 5G EVE platform and to collect preliminary results on the Use Cases’ services.
The last topic covered by the deliverable describes the methodology that has been implemented to provide support to the pilot Use Cases to carry out the Experimentation flow activities as described in D1.3 - 5G EVE end-to-end facility reference architecture for Vertical industries and core applications [3].
This deliverable should provide future 5G EVE experimenters with all the available information to carry out experimentation within 5G EVE E2E facility, including the Blueprints used to instantiate the experiments of the 5G EVE internal Use Cases and the methodology to go through the integration process.
