In order to fulfill the stringent requirements and fast advancements of 5G and beyond applications, it is inevitable to develop research/industrial testbeds to examine the different proposed innovative features of 5G and beyond. In this paper, we propose a testbed including 5G and beyond technologies by combining open-source solutions and our developed Network Services/Functions to enhance the ETSI-NFV MANO framework. Our testbed contains an automation framework to reduce both run time and setup complexity. It provides various services: Metal as a Service (MaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), different Network Functions (NFs), and Network Services (NSs), under the context of full automation of End-to-End (E2E) NSs on top of the services provided by ETSI.

Abstract
In order to fulfill the stringent requirements and fast advancements of 5G and beyond applications, it is inevitable to develop research/industrial testbeds to examine the different proposed innovative features of 5G and beyond. In this paper, we propose a testbed including 5G and beyond technologies by combining open-source solutions and our developed Network Services/Functions to enhance the ETSI-NFV MANO framework. Our testbed contains an automation framework to reduce both run time and setup complexity. It provides various services: Metal as a Service (MaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), different Network Functions (NFs), and Network Services (NSs), under the context of full automation of End-to-End (E2E) NSs on top of the services provided by ETSI.
