Plans and upcoming sessions
by Ildiko Vancsa 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

Hi, I’m reaching out to you with a small update about upcoming Edge Computing Group sessions. As Fall is approaching we are getting back into deeper level discussions about today’s edge infrastructure challenges and solutions. Automation and orchestration will remain in the spotlight as key components of successful and sustainable edge deployments. On the upcoming call we will start planning for the upcoming OpenInfra Project Teams Gathering (PTG)[1] event to ensure good and diverse discussions in the area of edge computing. We will also look into the last quarter of 2022 and build out our agenda for the remainder of the year. Join use if you have any topics that you would like to discuss with us! I would also like to draw your attention to our call on the 19th of September, where will dig deeper into the solutions space. We will touch on Infrastructure as Code, GitOps and Rob Hirschfeld will guide us through the approach that RackN is taking in this area. For further details about the working group and our upcoming meetings please visit our wiki page[2]!

Weekly Call Meeting Minutes
by Ildiko Vancsa 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Hi, We had a slow paced call today where we were mainly looking into plans for the second half of the year. The working group will keep focusing on production use cases and requirements. There are challenges and gaps in the infrastructure space in the area of operations, automation and remote maintenance that the industry needs to work on to address. The working group is seeking feedback and input from production edge environments to share that with communities who are working on open source solutions in this space. We also talked about upcoming events that are in the interest of the working group: * OpenInfra Project Teams Gathering ** The event is schedule for October 17-20 in Columbus, OH ** Registration is already open: https://openinfra.dev/ptg ** Team sign up deadline is August 12 *** I create a poll to see who’s around to attend the event to see if we can organize dedicated edge sessions **** Please fill out the poll by __July 31__: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/epgqMxpd * Open Networking and Edge (ONE) Summit ** The event is schedule for November 15-16 in Seattle, WA ** CFP is closing on July 29 ** Working group members are looking into submitting proposals for the conference For further details about the weekly calls, please see our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group On the next call we will continue discussing the infrastructure operations related challenges and solutions, including the StarlingX project!! See you on the call next Monday (July 18)!

by Ildiko Vancsa 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Hi, I’m reaching out to draw your attention to the working group’s upcoming call on July 18. We are planning to discuss infrastructure orchestration and its challenges in large-scale, geographically distributed edge environments. We will touch on challenges as well as solutions, such as the StarlingX project. If you have any questions or specific topics within the main area of the discussion please share it on this thread so we can add it to the agenda! You can find further information about the group and our calls on this wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Edge sessions at the upcoming OpenInfra Project Teams Gathering
by Ildiko Vancsa 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Hi, I’m reaching out to you about the next Project Teams Gathering (PTG) event. The PTG is returning in person and will be held in Columbus, Ohio on October 17-20. For more information about the event, please see https://openinfra.dev/ptg/ This event is a great opportunity to bring back the edge discussions in person and to have a closer collaboration with the OpenInfra projects in the area of edge computing. I created a poll to see how many people are available to travel to attend the event: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/epgqMxpd Please mark all the days in the poll when you would be available in person to attend and participate in edge sessions at the PTG!

Help with the OpenInfra presentation on Edge
by Cohen, Beth F 23 May '22

23 May '22

Folks - For many reasons, all very valid, Rob will not ba able to attend the Summit in June. I am willing to do the presentation on Edge complexity myself, but if anyone on this list will be attending the conference and would like to share the responsibilities, I welcome the opportunity. Here is the topic: Wed, June 8, 4:00pm - 4:30pm | Berlin Congress Center - B - B09 Complexity at the Edge – A knotty problem 5G, NFV & Edge Edge computing has been part of the emerging technology landscape for over five years now, yet somehow, it remains somewhat of a mystery (or possibly just a Byzantine maze) to many users. Like Cloud computing before, Edge was touted as being able to simplify complex use cases. In reality, Edge has only magnified the essential complexity of the cloud by highlighting the need for better security, development, deployment and management tools that work over a highly distributed network environment. Using real world examples and painful lessons learned -- what do mean we will have to take the system, which is serving as the sole network connection for hundreds of branch offices, down for 2 hours to upgrade the hypervisor? -- We will explore how the principles of simplicity and ease of management collide with the inherent complexity of managing Edge architectures, with some possible ways that Open Source tools and techniques can address these issues. -- -- *Beth Cohen* SDN Network Product Strategy Verizon Business Group M 781.434.8553

Weekly Call Meeting Minutes
by Ildiko Vancsa 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi All, Thank you for the great call earlier today. We started our discussion today with revisiting the container orchestration topic that a few of the working group members brought up last week. With listing the various groups in the CNCF ecosystem, just as a starting point, we quickly stumbled over to talk about the edge computing landscape. The attendees on today’s weekly call shared the desire to have a central place where you can discover what projects exist in the open source and standards space to address edge needs and challenges. While the group understands the challenges of keeping the information up to date, we still prefer to maintain a list so we can always look up information as a starting point, even if it turns out to be in need of an update! The group decided to use our already existing wiki page where we started to collect the adjacent groups and communities that we work with, and just extend that list to serve multiple purposes at the same time: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Adjacent_Edge_Projects The most recent Project Teams Gathering (PTG) event concluded just over a month ago. If you would like to catch up on the edge discussions you can now read the first article of a 3-piece series that got published today. The series will guide you through the conversations about the journey to take and run your edge use case in production: https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/what-does-it-take-to-bring-and-ope… For further details about the weekly calls, please see our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group See you next Monday (May 16)!

Weekly Call Meeting Minutes
by Ildiko Vancsa 18 Apr '22

18 Apr '22

Hi, We had a short call today, but we still made some progress. We identified areas to untangle for the next few weekly calls: * April 25: We will be discussing license management at the edge: requirements and solutions * Onwards: The PTG uncovered quite a few interesting topics with regards to Day 2/n operations that have been overlooked in the past. * It is important to look into how the infrastructure as well as the applications will be operated as that creates new requirements to take into account at the design and rollout phases. We will discuss this at the upcoming weekly calls to understand the requirements better. For further details about the group and our weekly calls, please visit our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation
