Meeting notes are here: https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/tsc_edge_cloud
...
| Project or activity | Edge focus (e.g. ingredients, requirements, ...) | Hardware aspects | Test framework. Edge specific test-cases. | Upstream collaboration | Suggestions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto | ONAP-based automation of VNF management with Edge Cloud use-case |
| Compare power consumption of architectures | Functest initially only functional tests. Later include performance monitoring with ONAP Data Collection Analytics and Events | ONAP Edge automation | |
| EdgeCloud | requirement analysis architecture design reference platform for edge. | TBD | is working with pharos for edge specific hardware | TBD | openstack EC WG |
|
| Container4NFV | Container4NFV provides basic CT feature for VNF, for example. It supports mutlus, DPDK, and SR-IOV. In edge , container is the best tool which can reduce the resource usage. | No | In Container4NFV, we support x86 and ARM. In order to accelerate data plane, containe4nfv support DPDK and SR-IOV. In future, we will support VPP. | Project specific testing for yardstick. test the network performance ,including DPDK, SR-IOV and VPP. but not specific for edge |
| |
| CRAN | Concluding the MEC applications for radio access network, exploring the deployment proposal for MEC and 5G CU. For the specific design. | TBD |
| |||
| Clover | Service mesh (micro-services) with containers managed by Kubernetes. | 5G low latency services, AR/VR, IoT | Select edge devices with suitable applications. | Extend CI to zero-touch continuous deployment. | ONAP ( pending discussion) |
|
| VCO Demo 2.0 PoC | Central Office. Mobile network access (vRAN) and virtualized mobile core network components. "Learn by doing" approach and gap analysis suing commercial and open source VNFs. | A set of mobile network specific services | Using community contributed/supported Hardware, not a Pharos POD. For future use hw from OCP, TIP, others? | No edge specific test cases. Testing is not a focus. | ONAP Casablanca (not committed yet). Open Stack, ODL, k8s, OpenAirInterface. |

Upstream edge related activities
| Upstreams | Edge related activities | useful link | progress | collaboration with OPNFV | suggestion for next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ONAP | Edge automation WG | https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Edge+Automation+through+ONAP | Regular meetings some discussion for vCPE and MEC | 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 | 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 | 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 with the edge cloud project already built |
|
| Akraino (LFN) |
| Fully integrated edge stack with production quality 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 Current seed code is NEV SDK however this may move into StarlingX Definition of deliverables 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). |
