OPNFV Edge Cloud strategy Task Force meeting notes: https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/tsc_edge_cloud

...

• Develop clear messaging to establish and reinforce OPNFV relevance and unique role in the Industry to address challenges with integrating, deploying, testing, managing Edge Cloud. 
  • Provide a unified view of OPNFV Edge activities to help projects collaborate and avoid duplication
  • Maintain an "Edge dashboard" or equivalent tool to track progress and community artifacts for Edge
  • Consider publishing a White Paper and/or joint conference sessions highlighting collaboration with upstream projects
  • Develop a roadmap of Edge announcement/s (ONS in September?)
    
    
• TSC to actively encourage and facilitate OPNFV Edge activities with strong developer focus (beyond requirements and use-case analysis)
  • Need a code base for developers to work on and focus community effort
  • Need an installer strategy for Edge Cloud deployment (Compass?)
    
    
• Establish strong collaboration with relevant upstream communities and Edge related Industry activities
  • EdgeCloud has already established a working relationship with Open Stack Edge Computing Group (note this is being merged with FEMDC) and is exploring collaboration with Keystone and Glance
  • Explore collaboration with StarlingX as upstream ingredient for first Edge scenario
  • Collaborate with StarlingX, Airship, OpenStack Computing Group, etc. for Pharos spec. additions
    
    
• Get Solicit feedback from EUAG for validating approach and tracking progress
  
  
• Deliver at least one Edge Cloud scenario for Gambia (consider both NFV and non-NFV use-cases)
  • Pharos Edge spec (first iteration, multi-architecture) 
  • Edge test cases 
     
• OVP (Compliance Program) 
  • Develop profile of Edge platform capabilities
  • Develop set of Edge relevant test cases based to test against commercial platforms
  • Include Edge test-cases in release after Gambia
• Pharos

• • Expand Pharos spec to n Edge flavors 
    • OpenStack Edge Computing group - 1) small, 2) medium
    • Airship 1) Minimal (fully embedded), 2) small DC (enterprise edge, Access level CO/DC with limited space and power), 3) large (Metro level CO/DC)
    • StarlingX 1) EdgeSX 2) Edge 3) Core
    • etc.
  • Definitions and terminology ... expand PDF?
  • Support for heterogenous heterogeneous hardware within a POD
  • Investigate feasibility to adopt ENOS framework for simulating distributed clouds 
    
    
• Maintain list of perceived gaps in upstream projects wrt Edge and OPNFV activities contributing to resolving these gaps
