ONAP | Edge automation WG | https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Edge+Automation+through+ONAP | Regular meetings some discussion for vCPE and MEC Edge automation working group focusing on Edge Cloud for Casablanca (3rd release Nov 15th) ... 1) Add hierarchical orchestration 2) Extend hardware platform awareness, Provide a way to select the best region to place dynamic apps | Not yet. Hope the connection could be built with AUTO and Edge cloud project to address Orchestration issue of edge |

OpenStack | Edge computing WG start in 2017 Fog/Edge/Massively Distributed Clouds SIG (these two groups plan to combine) | https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/ https://www.openstack.org/assets/edge/OpenStack-EdgeWhitepaper-v3-online.pdf https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Fog_Edge_Massively_Distributed_Clouds Glance image handling in edge environment : https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Image_handling_in_edge_environment Keystone edge architectures: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Keystone_edge_architectures | white paper publish for edge from the EC WG discussion of EC WG mainly focusing on security of edge, Keystone, Glance. Not to redesign OpenStack from scrach for edge, but to made certain modification to have openstack fit into edge | Collaboration activity is already underway with the OPNFV Edge Cloud project. |
|
Akraino (LFN) | Fully integrated edge stack with production quality code and blue-prints including hardware specs. | Akraino 1.0 release definition, Blueprints definition, use cases .... brainstorm from May F2F https://etherpad.acumos.org/p/Akraino-release Mailing lists https://lists.akraino.org/g/main | Governance and membership/process structures WIP Currently no seed code Definition of deliverables are WIP ... "blueprints", developer APIs, middleware (SDKs), ETSI MEC functions and APIs | OPNFV has mature CI/CD Infra, test frameworks and release engineering tools/process which could be leveraged by Akraino. OPNFV EdgeCloud is developing requirements which could be consumed by Akraino. Akraino help define OPNFV Edge Cloud scenarios and Pharos Edge flavors (from Blueprints). Monitor progress and evaluate collaboration opportunities once Akraino roadmap is clear. |
|
Airship (OSF) | ATT "Oceans" seed code for deployment of "under cloud" | OSF project, still forming, some seed code available | Monitor for now and reevaluate opportunities for collaboration once project is established. | Consider site definitions (from ATT) for Pharos Edge spec | |
StarlingX (OSF) | Wind River Titanium Cloud R5 seed code. | http://www.starlingx.io/ | OSF project announced recently at Open Stack Summit. Wind River Titanium Cloud is seed code. | Possible collaboration to deploy StarlingX as an Edge scenario in OPNFV. | Consider Wind River Titanium deployment flavors for Edge POD definition. |
Open Edge Compute Initiative (OEC) | Developing Open Edge API for 3rd party developers | Early stages, not much visible yet | OEC is setting up a “Living Edge Lab” real-world testbed for Edge Computing http://openedgecomputing.org/lel.html. Investigate possible synergies with Pharos spec/lab and overlap of use-cases in OPNFV projects. | Monitor progress. | |
CORD (ONF) | open reference implementation of central office with commodity servers, white-box switches, open source software (e.g., OpenStack, ONOS, XOS) | Uses ONOS control plane for SDN and managing network components https://onosproject.org/ | CORD profiles available for install: | Not evaluated sufficiently for recommendation. Evaluate synergy/overlap with vCO Demo 2.0? | Assign responsibility for further investigation. |
Kubernetes (CNCF) | Automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications | https://kubernetes.io/ | v1.10 | Collaboration with the EdgeCloud project and AUTO to work out edge scenario taking consideration of container management | EdgeCloud and Auto to agree roles and next steps |
EdgeXFoundry (LF) | IoT edge computing framework and and ecosystem of interoperable components that accelerates the API framework for enabling IoT services at the Edge | Certification program planned | Opportunity for collaboration is not clear at this stage. | Monitor progress. Investigate certification program. | |
Telecom Infra Project (TIP) | Lab and field implementations for services/applications at the network edge | TIP Ecosystem Acceleration Centers hosted in the UK, Paris, Seoul and Germany. TIP Community Labs are physical spaces that enable collaboration between member companies in a TIP project group to develop telecom infrastructure solutions | Not evaluated sufficiently for recommendation. | Assign responsibility for further investigation. |
