OPNFV Edge Cloud Activities
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 | |
edge cloud | 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 |
|
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 |
