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

  • Build connection through AUTO and edge cloud project
  • addresss edge orchestration issues in ONAP
OpenStack

Edge computing WG start in 2017

Fog/Edge/Massively Distributed Clouds SIG

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 with the edge cloud project already built
  • Enhance the collaboration following the deployment of EC WG and bring them back into OPNFV integration
  • Consider vCPE scenario from white paper.
  • Test Glance and Cinder Edge scenarios.
Akraino (LFN)Fully integrated edge stack with production quality code and blue-prints including hardware specs.

https://www.akraino.org/

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).


  • OPNFV liason to Akraino helps inform and facilitate collaboration with regular report back to TSC
  • Proposal to provide lab, test resources?
  • Host Akraino scenario for a release?

General Recommendations


  • Messaging to ensure OPNFV is viewed as relevant to Edge and solving Edge Cloud problems
    • Dashboard and metrics?
    • Unified view of Edge use-cases, requirements and features across projects
  • Need strong collaboration with Upstream Edge communities and activities
    • Open Stack
    • ?
  • Gambia
    • At least one Edge Cloud scenario (consider both NFV and non-NFV use-cases)
    • At least one Pharos Edge spec (multi-architecture) 
    • Set of Edge related functional test cases 
  • Pharos
    • Expand to Edge flavors
      • OpenStack Edge Computing group - 1) small, 2) medium
      • 1) Minimal (fully embedded), 2) small DC (enterprise edge, Access level CO/DC with limited space and power), 3) large (Metro level CO/DC)
    • Harmonize on definitions and terminology. Expand PDF?
    • Support for heterogenous hardware within a POD
    • How to do federation, scaling, simulate characteristics of remote sites?

Opens and Gaps

Gaps in OPNFV Projects

  • ?

ETSI MEC

  • Should OPNFV consider a scenario with ETSI MEC upstream implementation (e.g. NEV SDK)?
