Hi, I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the State of the Edge 2021 Report that is now available! I participated in putting together this report as one of the editors. The document is a great overview of where edge computing is in terms of challenges and solutions as well as giving some market insights. You can find the press release here: http://bit.ly/3t5QJIM Or download the report from here: https://stateoftheedge.com/reports/state-of-the-edge-report-2021/ Thanks, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Ecosystem Technical Lead Open Infrastructure Foundation

Slides from today's presentation from INRIA
by Ildiko Vancsa 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi, Today with had a presentation from INRIA, delivered by Marie Delavergne. The topic of the presentation was an approach to edge deployments to be able to share data and resources between edge sites. In the evaluation work the sites were separate standalone OpenStack instances. The prerequisite of this approach is to have a platform that has a modular architecture. You can find the slides with the list of challenges and details of the solution here: http://people.rennes.inria.fr/Adrien.Lebre/PUBLIC/OpenStack-EdgeWG-STACK.pdf The group’s roadmap includes making their solution agnostic to be able to use it with Kubernetes and other projects as well. As edge sites can get very small they also plan to include IoT and other end devices as well in their scope. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the topic further please reply to this thread. You can also reach out to Marie directly, her contact info is in the slides above. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Ecosystem Technical Lead Open Infrastructure Foundation

OpenStack for the Edge presentation from INRIA on March 1st
by Ildiko Vancsa 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi, I would like to draw your attention to the weekly call on March 1st. We will have a presentation from INRIA, delivered by Marie Delavergne, to learn about INRIA’s activities to test and evaluate edge platform options. The abstract of the presentation: Cloud computing applications are often represented as a collection of loosely coupled services encapsulated into sandboxing technologies such as containers. That modularization helps programmers to cope with the complexity of distributed infrastructures. Not only does it make the application easier to understand, but also enable DevOps to build generic features on top of it. The externalization of the application life-cycle management (deployment, monitoring, scaling, etc.) from the business logic is a perfect example. With the arrival of the edge computing paradigm, new challenges arise for applications: How to benefit from geo-distribution? How to deal with inherent constraints such as network latencies and partitioning? The general approach consists in implementing edge-native applications by entangling geo-distribution aspects in the business logic. In addition to complexifying the code, this is in contradiction with the idea of externalizing concerns. We suggest to rely, once again, on modularity of applications to externalize geo-distribution concerns and avoid meddling in the business logic. In this approach, an instance of the application is deployed on each edge location and a generic mechanism enables DevOps to recompose, on demand, the different services of these application instances in order to give the illusion of a single application instance. Our proposal requires some extensions to be complete. However, we present its relevance on a real use-case: OpenStack for the Edge. Thanks to this approach, DevOps can make multiple autonomous instances of OpenStack collaborative to manage a geo-distributed infrastructure. Please join us next week to attend the presentation and participate in the discussion about the topic. You can find the meeting details here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions.

Open Geospatial Consortium presentation at Nov 16
by Ildiko Vancsa 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi, I e-met George Percivall, who is with the Open Geospatial Consortium (https://www.ogc.org) at an edge event a few weeks ago and we had a brief discussion about their activities and interest in edge computing and infrastructure for edge especially from the perspective of handling location information. I invited George to present at the Edge Computing Group weekly call on __November 16 at 1400 UTC__. He will talk about the OGC as well as their top use cases and their edge aspects. It will also be a great opportunity to discuss location awareness at the edge and the requirements it puts on the infrastructure software components. I will share dial-in details for the call as we are getting closer to the date. See you there! Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó
