Bugs & Improvements
in dependencies

8. #kazoocon14

9. #kazoocon14
Kamailio
db_kazoo
Significant work by Luis
Far more powerful and flexible
Addresses prior deficiencies

10. #kazoocon14
Kamailio
if(kazoo_query("callevt", $var(routing_key), $var(request))) {
$du = $(kzR{kz.json,Switch-URL});
}
event_route[kazoo:consumer-event-presence-update]
{
kazoo_pua_publish($kzE);
pres_refresh_watchers("$(kzE{kz.json,From})",
"$(kzE{kz.json,Event-Package})",
1
);
}

11. #kazoocon14
Kamailio
Version 4.2+ will include the Kazoo modules!
Community requested rename
db_kazoo -> kazoo
After release we will depreciate kazoo-kamailio
We will simply use the public Kamailio RPMs
This work allows us to update kazoo-kamailio
Shortly kazoo-kamailio bump to version 4.1.6

12. #kazoocon14
Kamailio
This work was important! Why?
Paves the way for “smart” routing
Route to the best media server
Call processing Kamailio roles
Improves performance dramatically
Especially for features requiring redirects
Call Park, Park Pickup, Call Pickup, etc.

13. #kazoocon14
Kamailio
But wait, there’s more!
• Enhanced BLF
• We can now XXX ??  Karl
• Other Advanced SIP Routing Logic
• SIP MESSAGE support
• Etc.

14. #kazoocon14

15. #kazoocon14
FreeSWITCH
Customizations submitted upstream!
Working with the FreeSWITCH team
After acceptance our own kazoo-freeswitch RPM
will be deprecated

16. #kazoocon14
FreeSWITCH
Fixed implementation issue with Erlang Interface
Primarily affected large ring-groups
status = ei_xreceive_msg_tmo(ei_node->nodefd,
&received_msg->msg,
&received_msg->buf,
globals.receive_timeout
);

17. #kazoocon14
FreeSWITCH
Look forward to…
Round-robin channel events
Full duplex eCallMgr connections
Mod_verto?

18. #kazoocon14
./install_kazoo

19. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install
Alot of work going into automating
and improving the install process
ISO
Installation is NOT just for a single server
Helps us with QA also!
Build Server Automation
Auto-pushing and versioning packages
repo.2600hz.com updates
RPMs & Packages re-organized

20. Kazoo Install
Kazoo Installer Script is the brains of the install
#kazoocon14
Available bundled in the ISO
Current, always up-to-date net installer
Can be a stand-alone installer
Can be a stand-alone configuration tool
With support for cluster configuration

21. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install

22. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install

23. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install

24. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install
Look forward to…
Offline capabilities
Improved help
Smarter support for cluster deployment

25. #kazoocon14
Kazoo Install
Kamailio and FreeSWITCH
Already have cross-platform support
They already generate RPMs and
Thanks to this work, we now have our sights on
supporting other operating systems.

26. #kazoocon14
Monster UI

27. #kazoocon14
Monster UI
Released!
Account Manager
Number Manager
Smart PBX
Webhooks
PBX Connector

28. #kazoocon14
Monster UI
Carrier App

29. #kazoocon14
Monster UI

30. #kazoocon14
Monster UI

31. #kazoocon14
Monster UI
We are creating a community app store
Unleash the monster!

32. #kazoocon14
Monster UI
Look forward to…
Carriers App
Branding App
User Portal
Operator Console
Callflow App

33. #kazoocon14
Provisioner

34. #kazoocon14
Provisioner
We’ve split Provisioner into three concepts:
Back-end of Provisioner.
APIs and configuration generation
SmartPBX / Provisioner Integration
When adding a phone, it’s provisioned w/ defaults
Advanced Provisioner
We expose everything we can
It’s not intuitive, but it is powerful

35. #kazoocon14
Provisioner
Progress!
Improved template engine
Added support for TFTP and HTTPS
Moved to file-based provisioning from dynamic
Added timezone support
Added limited BLF support
Tested Kazoo feature defaults

36. #kazoocon14
Provisioner
Why not improve the old provisioner?
The old provisioner is in a scary state
We thought dynamically updating configs would be
a nice feature. That was a mistake.
Any software rollouts which introduce a bug have
the capability of knocking ALL provisioned phones
on the system offline.

37. Provisioner
We will be decommissioning the old provisioner
#kazoocon14
as soon as possible.
We will also be moving to SRV records.
Instead of primary/secondary proxies
More industry standard at this point
Phones are removing primary/secondary options

38. #kazoocon14
Provisioner
Look forward too…
Enhanced security
More makes and models
Advanced firmware support
End-user provisioning

39. #kazoocon14
Project Phonebook

40. #kazoocon14
Project Phonebook
Unifies phone number management
Aggregates multiple service providers
One API set. All carriers.

41. #kazoocon14
Project Phonebook
Benefits
Significantly faster number searches
Support for contiguous numbers
Much larger number pool
Support for vanity numbers

42. #kazoocon14
Project Phonebook
Look forward to…
Easy number acquisition
The largest number pool in the US
Fully automated porting

43. #kazoocon14
Internationalization

44. #kazoocon14
Internationalization
Supporting Kazoo installs internationally
has been a learning experience.
Differing Phone Number Formats
Both routing and displaying them in the GUI
GUI Languages
Prompt Languages
API errors
Differing timezones and changing DST rules

45. #kazoocon14
Internationalization
Still more to be done
Date/Time Formats
Currency Differences
Differing rules for emergency services
Differing procedures for Porting
But it is now usable outside the United States!

46. #kazoocon14
Internationalization
Kazoo presents some unique challenges.
We support multiple zones
Zones of a cluster are in different countries
Had to find a way to allow different processing
mechanisms system-wide
This is why E.164 is so important!!!
REQUIRES conversions on the way in and out
A lot of people are used to cheating here!

47. Internationalization
Google has an awesome library for handling phone
#kazoocon14
numbers world-wide.
Libphonenumber
Used by Android and other tools
Erlang port available!
We are looking to integrate it into the porject

48. #kazoocon14
Kazoo PHP SDK

49. #kazoocon14
Kazoo PHP SDK
Easier to use
More APIs are supported
More efficient
Highly extensible

50. #kazoocon14
Kazoo PHP SDK
<?php
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
$options = array('base_url' => 'http://kazoo-crossbar-url:8000');
$authToken = new KazooAuthTokenUser('username', 'password', 'sip.realm');
$sdk = new KazooSDK($authToken, $options);
$filter = array('filter_priv_level' => 'admin');
$users = $sdk->Account()->Users($filter);
foreach ($users as $element) {
$admin = $element->fetch();
$admin->require_password_update = true;
$admin->save();
}

51. #kazoocon14
Kazoo PHP SDK
Look forward to…
Complete API support
Datatype casting from JSON schema
Iteratiable validation exceptions
Support for realtime events (webhooks/websockets)

52. #kazoocon14
Screen Pop

53. #kazoocon14

Federation has been code complete
for a little while now!
It needs testing
There will be edge cases
We welcome community contributions here

64. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On
True Class 4 / 5 Hybrid

65. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On
With our changes to Kamailio, we now can
finally achieve a true Class 4 & 5 Hybrid.
Class 4 is just “proxy/switching”
Class 5 is features and media handling

66. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On
Build & Release
Transparency

67. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On
Customers and community members want more
transparency into changes and features
We are working hard to make this a reality, but
this is new territory for us
Better tickets, better release notes and other
automated build mechanisms are in the works!

68. #kazoocon14

Once packages are available kazoo-bigcouch will be
deprecated.

70. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On

71. #kazoocon14
What We’re Working On
We are looking into replacing CouchBeam
This is an internal library that handles all database
communication
Replacing it would lead to performance increase
EVERYWHERE
Provide application awareness to database
connectors
