PTG Updates
by Ildiko Vancsa 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Hi, Today we had great discussions with the group of people who joined. Our topics covered Automation and Trust & Verification at the Edge. For the first topic we touched on the challenges of handling a heterogenous pool of hardware resources throughout edge locations, portability and reusability and the challenges of versioning. The second topic also touched on hardware aspects through the heavy use of TPM in edge scenarios, but we were looking into other solutions as well. The session covered the challenges of deploying edge devices at remote locations considering full automation where the device doesn’t need human interaction as well as the cases where a technician interacts with the box. You can find the full notes of our 2-hour slot here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-october-2021 Tomorrow (Tuesday, October 19) we will start at 1400 UTC / 7am Pacific / 16:00 CEST! See you tomorrow! Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Meeting recap
by Ildiko Vancsa 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hi, This Monday we had two topics to discuss during our weekly call. We were continuing the preparation for the upcoming PTG[1] to make sure we are ready to discuss the topics we’ve outlined. Our etherpad[2] contains all the topics and session information while we are still working with a few adjacent communities to fit their sessions in. We also started to dive into the topic of edge hardware and how that relates to infrastructure software that goes on top of it. As hardware and software on the infrastructure layer can be decoupled, but will not become completely independent, we need to focus on how to handle the challenges that we are facing due to the massively distributed systems that edge computing use cases demand. We need to distinguish between IoT and edge, we need to decide the approach to take with the overall architecture and where control functions live and how to manage the hardware resources locally while might still keep a centralized control plane after all. We will keep on untangling these challenges and more on the upcoming weekly calls as we outlined on the meeting etherpad[3]. If you are interested in joining our calls please see our wiki[4] for dial-in information and agenda. Also please note that the weekly meeting on October 18 will be canceled in favor of the edge sessions we will be having at the PTG[1]. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó [1] https://www.openstack.org/ptg [2] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-october-2021 [3] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/osf-edge-computing-group [4] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Exploring hardware for the edge
by Ildiko Vancsa 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi, Following up the presentation from the Chameleon project last Monday[1] we will deep dive into the topic of hardware at the edge. While hardware design is not in the scope of this working group we still keep track of needs and options to make sure that the integration between the hardware and software layer is smooth in order to leverage the best of both layers. We will be discussing hardware needs for the edge to fulfill the requirements of new and demanding use cases. We will also be discussing the challenges of testing and evaluating specialized hardware as well, since that task is not as straight forward as it might seem. Join us on Mondays at 6am Pacific / 9am Central / 1300 UTC to discuss this topic and more! For further details and dial-in information please see our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings If you would like to add topics to the meeting agenda, please add them on the wiki or reply with your thoughts and suggestions to this mail.

Edge for scientific research session on September 13
by Ildiko Vancsa 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Hi, I’m very excited to invite you to a session with the Chameleon project to discuss how edge computing is powering education, scientific research and more! As always in the area of edge there are challenges and gaps that we need to solve together. In that sense the session will start with a presentation that we will then turn into a discussion to turn towards discussing solutions. The session will take place on the weekly call on __September 13, at 1300 UTC / 6am Pacific__. Please find the details of the session below. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó Title: Chameleon: a cloud to edge infrastructure for science Abstract: The NSF-funded Chameleon project (www.chameleoncloud.org) provides an OpenStack-based bare metal reconfigurable cloud that supports systems research, education, and emergent application projects in science. The facility has been in existence for 6+ years, and has served ~6,000 users working on a variety of projects ranging from networking, operating systems design, and security, to innovative applications in astronomy, physics, and life sciences. Recent research trends in IoT and edge computing, as evidenced by increased numbers of project applications in those areas, made it clear that Chameleon needed to expand into the edge space. Remaining within the OpenStack framework allowed us to leverage end-user features that we developed for Chameleon, such as access via federated identity and Jupyter integration. Accordingly, we developed infrastructure called CHI@Edge that adapts Zun to provision containers on edge devices and significantly expands its capabilities to work in the edge space. The talk will describe our use case and the emergent product definition, the OpenStack adaptations we made to the current preview implementation, the directions we plan to take in our further work, as well as the ecosystem of projects and NSF infrastructure deployments leveraging this work and collaborating with us. ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation
