Hi, The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group participated recent Project Teams Gathering (PTG) event with very lively sessions on three consecutive days earlier this week. Our theme for the discussions was the journey of taking your edge use case into production. In addition, our conversations also covered the challenges of operating edge infrastructures in production, where we touched on the solution space as well. The recordings along with the link to the etherpad with our notes are now accessible on the working group’s wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Virtual_PTG_Recordings… Please let me know if you have any questions or have issues with accessing any of the recordings.

Hi, We had a great call this Monday (March 21) where Adrien Lebre from Inria was presenting to give updates about their project, called Cheops. We also had some additional conversation on the topic of solutions to the challenges of operations and automation in edge environments. Please find below the highlights of our meeting: * Cheops is an academic project that focuses on the operations challenge for edge environments * Control plane functions are distributed out to the edge to be able to cope with challenges such as * Connection loss * Intermittent connection * Keeping the sites in sync becomes the new challenge * Local-first * Collaborative-then * The approach builds on service-mesh concepts * Next steps * Generalizing the solution * Resource and dependency models and patterns * Modeling relationships: required, depends on, composed of * Scalability is tackled by using the concept of “scope" * Relevant papers (without the relationship models) * https://hal.inria.fr/hal-03212421 * https://hal.inria.fr/hal-03282425 * Blog post that describes the sessions at the upcoming Project Teams Gathering Event is now published: https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/edge-in-production-at-the-upcoming… To listen back to the whole conversation, please check the recording of the call here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Cheops_project_update_… For further details about the weekly calls, please see our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Upcoming_Topics Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group has booked 7 hours of session time in total which we will be filling with hot and current topics that concern infrastructure challenges and solutions from core to edge! We are planning the topics and agenda on an etherpad[2] that we dedicated to this upcoming PTG. Topics that we’ve been considering so far: * Complexity * Edge infrastructures are highly complex environments by definition * How to mitigate complexity? * How to keep management and operation functions under control? * Automation * What is covered? * What is missing? * Day-2 operations * Clarify what the term means * Infrastructure lifecycle management * How to get from deployment to production? * Infrastructure as Code (IaC) * Version Control * Distributed state * Multi-component automation * Immutability * New use cases * Keep the scope on infrastructure software * Look at what the hardware layer can offer and understand what infrastructure software has to support * Applications have expectations and requirements towards infrastructure Do you have topics to discuss at the PTG about edge? Add them to the etherpad[2] along with your name, share them on this thread or come to one of our weekly calls[3] before the event and bring them with the group!
