Fwd: Virtual PTG Layout & Signup
by Ildiko Vancsa 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Greetings! I am sure you have all been anxiously awaiting more details on how we are going to virtualize the PTG :) After the community meetings we had last week/the week before to understand the key challenges and ideate on solutions, we have a plan! The virtual event will be held from Monday June 1 to Friday June 5. We set up available times in 3 different time windows where each window is a cross over time between at least 2 regions (Window A - Americas/Europe, Window B - Europe/APAC, and Window C - APAC/Americas). Here is an ethercalc[1]. We ask that the PTL/SIG Chair/Team lead sign up for time to have their discussions in with 4 rules/guidelines. 1. Cross project discussions (i.e. SIGs and horizonal teams), try to schedule yourselves towards the start of the week so that any discussions that might shape those of vertical teams might happen first. 2. Vertical teams (ex. Nova, Cyborg, Manila) should wait till April 6th at 7:00 UTC to start signing up for slots to help prioritize the scheduling of cross project conversations. 3. No team (SIG, horizonal project, vertical project, etc) can sign up for more than 4 hours per UTC day to help keep participants actively engaged. 4. No team (SIG, horizonal project, vertical project, etc) can sign up for more than 16 hours across all time slots to avoid burning out our contributors and to enable participation in multiple teams discussions. Once every team has had a chance to sign up (lets say two weeks from today April 28th at 7:00 UTC) if signing up for more time makes sense, it will be possible. We want to encourage ANY team to sign up, even those that had originally said no to the initial outreach when the PTG was supposed to be in person. The more the merrier! Once you have signed up for time slots, please also fill out this survey[2] with your team information. We need this additional information to help shape other decisions down the road and coordinate other details closer to the event. If you have any issues with signing up your team, due to conflict or otherwise, please let me know! While we are trying to empower you to make your own decisions as to when you meet and for how long (after all, you know your needs and teams timezones better than we do), we are here to help!

[tc][all][SDK][API] Multi-region/edge OpenStack deployment
by Marie Delavergne 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi, Following the previous discussions regarding approaches to make several instances of OpenStack collaborative[1], we finally decided to make a research report on the approach we initially proposed during the edge hackathon in Berlin (OSF summit 2018). The document is a short article (~10 pages long)[2] that gives a rather complete overview of the approach. If you are interested to see how mutliple instances of distinct OpenStack can give the illusion of a single system you might be interested to give it a look. A brief excerpt: “We propose a novel approach that delivers any collaboration between services of distinct OpenStack once and for all. Our approach eliminates development efforts related to the brokering aspect by leveraging dynamic composition and a Domain Specific Language (DSL). Using these two mechanisms, Admins/DevOps can specify, on a per-request basis, which services from which OpenStacks are required for the collaboration. This information is then interpreted to dynamical recompose services between the different OpenStacks, enabling the execution of single-, cross- or multiple-site requests without code effort.” The main idea is, considering several OpenStacks running, to use a DSL to specify which instance of the service (i.e. on which Openstack) the user wants its request to be executed. For instance, to provision a VM on a Nova in Paris using an image from a Glance in New York. You may contact the API either in NewYork or in Paris and perform the following request: "openstack server create --image debian --scope { compute: Paris, image: New York }" Along with the report comes a proof of concept available on GitLab[3]. Feel free to get back to us.

Hi, We have reached the point of daylight saving time switches that the US has already progressed with. I’m sending this email as a reminder that we will stick to the strategy that we followed in earlier years to keep the US time slot for the calls. This means that the calls will be running on Tuesdays at 7am PDT / 1400 UTC which is currently 3pm CET but that will change at the end of this month. For the latest information please check the OSF Edge Computing Group’s wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group Please let me know if you have any questions.

Dell expands edge computing ambitions in telco space
by beth.cohen＠verizon.com 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

I am sure we had something to do with this. Dell expands edge computing ambitions in telco space<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__alva-2Dgroup.us11.list…> Light Reading, Mike Dano, February 18, 2020 Dell Technologies today released a handful of new products specifically targeted at edge computing operations in the telecom industry. "We think the edge is an opportunity," Dell Technologies' Kevin Shatzkamer told Light Reading. Dell announced a new server (PowerEdge XE2420), a new mini data center module (Modular Data Center Micro 415), new controller software (iDRAC9) and a new ingestion and analysis offering (Streaming Data Platform) that are all designed to allow service providers to quickly and easily build edge computing operations. Dell's Shatzkamer explained that the company decided to target the telco space roughly three years ago. He said the company saw an opportunity there as operators moved their network operations from dedicated hardware to virtualized, software-powered systems that could work on off-the-shelf hardware. He said the first phase of the company's efforts involved working with telecom suppliers like Nokia and Ericsosn, but is now evolving to include direct sales of Dell hardware and software to telecom operators directly. Dell already highlights Orange and AT&T as telecom operator "partners." Shatzkamer admitted that, with its new products, Dell would compete directly with companies that also sell edge computing hardware, including Nokia, Erisson and others.

Using DCN Primary site for future-proofing
by Ajay Simha 20 Dec '19

20 Dec '19

Hi Team, We are working on High Level Design for Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) in India. As an architect, I'm recommending L3 based design - spine/leaf as the design for datacenter whether or not there will be edge sites. This way, in future (which will most likely happen), they can hang edge DCN sites off this primary site. Additionally, today there is a real issue where they have to expand existing OSP VIM (pod) to have additional computes. However, no more room in the DCN floor. L3 based lends itself to expand the POD in a different floor, building etc. If we go with this architecture, I'm concerned about nova backend. @Jaromir Coufal <jcoufal(a)redhat.com> - I checked with you if the leaf is within the same DCN (not on an edge site) I can use the Ceph backend. Which you answered "yes". Is nova backend using ephemeral/local a design limitation? OR actual limitation in OSP13 where it simply cannot be configured/enabled for spine-leaf/DCN deployment? Thanks Ajay
