Dell expands edge computing ambitions in telco space
by beth.cohen＠verizon.com 19 Feb '20

19 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

Requirement List
by Wang, Shane 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hi all, In today's meeting, we received a suggestion to get a requirement list and collect requirements on edge, after comparing and analyzing the existing features in OpenStack, StarlingX and other edge projects. Zhu Rong from ZTE already had some and even had patches to fix them, but they are not in the upstream yet. Do you think if it makes sense to initiate and create such a list for edge WG? Do you see any overlap with existing efforts? Thanks. -- Shane

Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG Shanghai - edge recap
by Ildiko Vancsa 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hi, Hereby is a recap of the Open Infrastructure Summit that was held in Shanghai, November 4-6, with conference sessions including presentations and panel discussions, a lively Marketplace and the co-located Forum to provide space and time for users, operators and developers to talk about the software pieces the communities are working on. As usual the event started with keynotes[1] that were focusing on open infrastructure and updates about OpenStack and further OSF projects as well as news from the global and local communities. During the event the sessions were organized into dedicated tracks to cover relevant areas including a combined track for NFV, 5G, and edge computing. OSF Edge Computing Group contributors had a panel discussion to give an update on the latest activities of the group including a sync with representatives of the Chinese edge community. Similarly to former Summits we had the Forum[2] running in parallel to the conference with 40 minutes long sessions with users, operators and developers in the rooms to discuss feedback, new ideas and next steps. StarlingX and the OSF Edge Computing Group had a joint session[3] to talk about reference architectures and gather new use cases from the attendees. The session discussed use cases related to Content Delivery Networks (CDN) and requirements to run workloads on bare metal at the edge and further items in the area of networking. The conference sessions were recorded and the slides and videos are being uploaded to the event website[4] as you read this article. We had a full day[5] dedicated to the edge working group to talk about recent activities, synchronize with OpenStack and OSF projects and work on the roadmap for the first half of 2020. The working group discussions were mainly focusing on testing activities that we have started earlier this year. The group is working on defining reference architectures[6] that we are turning into reference implementations to see if they fulfill edge requirements and find gaps and areas to improve. In recent activities we started to test the distributed control plane model with using StarlingX[7] and setup the centralized control plane model with TripleO. Due to limitations on the lab environment we have we hit a roadblock with the latter scenario which brought us to discuss alternatives both on the side of ways to deploy the test systems as well as alternatives for lab environments. The group decided to reach out to universities as well as look into offers on lab donations from earlier PTGs. The group has a test plan proposal[7] that we started to review at the PTG. Our main goal for testing is to evaluate the functionality of the services that we deploy in the lab environments based on information we gathered from collecting use cases from different industry segments. Evaluating the services as a complete platform is out of the scope of our work as the group is not working on an end-to-end solution that can be used out of the box but rather wants to make sure that the building blocks deliver what they promise. In that sense we will not test the steps of deployment and configuration neither the steps of upgrading the infrastructure at this stage. Based on the outreach to look for lab environments we also hope to be able to deploy edge environments at multiple sites which could give us the possibility to eventually test geographically distributed configurations. This is not a high priority task at this point, but the group had an agreement to keep this as a desirable goal. After the test environments we also briefly discussed possible workloads to test our edge environments with. We identified two areas to look at, these being vRAN and cloud gaming. Both of these use cases are already moving to deployment stage which means that we have a potential to find open source building blocks to use or partner up with organizations to do joint work in the area, one example to look at is O-RAN. The group is planning to record demos once we reached the stage of operational deployments with workloads running on top of them. We are also still dedicated to lower level testing such as Keystone federation testing in a Devstack environment. Another big chunk of the PTG activities of the group were cross-project discussions with two main objectives. As projects and services continuously evolve we need to periodically re-evaluate our reference architecture models to ensure they are still correct and realistic when it comes to the details. We identified items to fix for projects like Glance, Nova and Cinder. Beyond synchronizing with the projects we’ve already been working with we are also constantly looking into new projects to add to the models and activities as well. Candidates high on our list are Ironic and Cyborg as both managing bare metal resources and hardware acceleration technologies are getting more and more crucial for edge use cases. We had sessions with Cinder, Cyborg and Neutron and had one large joint session involving Ironic, TripleO, Airship and Manila. With Cinder we focused mainly on deployment options regarding the placement of the services and some functionality around availability zones (AZs). We touch based on features such as setting a default volume type per AZ as volume requests don’t contain AZ information. Another feature that is very useful for edge use cases is the instance locality filter which can ensure for single node edge sites that the deployment is using local disks on the node. Group members had a very fruitful discussion with the Cyborg team to kick off the collaboration between the project and the edge working group. As hardware acceleration is a hot topic for edge use cases it is very important that we have the possibility to experiment with that in our test environments as well beyond capturing this need on architecture diagrams. During the session we synced up on the state of both Cyborg as well as the work of the Edge Computing Group and started to explore some relevant use cases. Our current focus is on vRAN deployments, and mentioned the work that a team from Rakuten was presenting[8] at the Summit. We had a short sync with the Neutron team to check on items that are in progress. Our focus with that team was on enhancements in the ability of managing network segment ranges[9] in edge deployments. The task is currently approved and in progress with some cross-project work items in the plan such as collaboration with the Placement team. We will track progress during the Ussuri release cycle and include the functionality in our testing activities once it is implemented. Our last session was held with a large group where we had members from multiple project teams. Our main focus was concentrating around Ironic use cases mainly around the area of virtual media based provisioning as well as booting from a URL. For the deployment side in relation to TripleO we were discussing an option for single step configuration that would include full node settings for the hardware. It faces challenges around locality to ensure that the image has a local source or is cached somewhere close to the server that is getting deployed. To utilize Ironic for Airship we mentioned the Metal3[10] CRD work. The last item of the session was a short update from Manila to summarize the relevant service and ongoing work around active-active configurations. Based on the information the working group has gathered during the Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG we will work on both building and evolving test environments as well as to enhance our reference architecture models. The group is also planning to start actively discussing concepts such as containerization and extend the architecture models to be suitable for all types of workloads. You can also check out the StarlingX blog[11] for details about the StarlingX activities in Shanghai. For more details about the OSF Edge Computing Group check out the group's wiki page[12]. You can participate in the discussions by joining our mailing list[13] or joining the #edge-computing-group IRC channel on Freenode.

Digital Games is one of the media that have the potential to reach these two objectives. Game-based learning is the scientific area that focuses on the development of games that are designed over specific learning objectives. From thoroughly crafted educational games to the use of gamification, the new era of the school will be digital. However, we should not forget tangential learning with the use of entertainment games. Mobile games are also leveraging a large community of gamers that relies on the specifics of mobile technology, such as ubiquity and pervasiveness. The solutions can leverage informal learning, literacy, science communication, and citizenship, among a vast area of applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to disclose the new advances in game-based learning and mobile games that can enhance the effectiveness and outreach of learning objects. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Game-based learning; Serious games; Mobile games; Pervasive games; Learning models and practices with the use of games; New technologies for game-based learning: Virtual and augmented reality; New interaction devices, toys, and playthings; Simulations; 3D rendering technologies; Game engines and development tools; Location-based games; Artificial intelligence; Educational games analytics; Assessment and evaluation of educational games; User experience design; The psychology of educational games; Gender and age issues; Social and collaborative games; Security and confidentiality in educational games; Case studies in educational games; Game development for mobile devices.

Call for Paper: [Computers]: Special Issue "Simulation, Imaging and Modelling for Biomedical Systems" (Scopus, ESCI, 50% discount, Deadline Approaching)
by Blink Yu 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ==================================== Special Issue "Simulation, Imaging and Modelling for Biomedical Systems" Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 December 2019 Guest Editor: Dr. Elena Casiraghi and Dr. Barbara Barricelli Department of Computer Science; Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SIM_BS ===================================== Dear Colleagues, Over the past decades, a continuous increase in computational power, together with substantial advances in the digital image processing and pattern recognition fields, has motivated the development of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems, augmented and virtual reality applications for surgical planning and simulation, and digital-twin applications for healthcare. Thanks to their effective, precise, and repeatable results, validated CAD systems are nowadays exploited as a valid aid during diagnostic procedures. Surgical simulation applications have become an essential part of surgical procedures as well as training, while research on the development of digital-twin applications in healthcare is continuously increasing, to deliver significant societal and health benefits. Similar important advances in the field of microscopy image analysis have been motivated by the advent of digital microscopes producing high-resolution digital images. Indeed, in the past thirty years the development of computerized systems that have helped pathologists in their analysis of images obtained by fluorescence, histochemical, and immunohistochemical labeling has become a main research focus for computer scientists and clinicians. State-of-the-art automatic microscopy image analysis systems automatically identify biological structures of interest and then try to reproduce the evaluation and quantification performed by expert pathologists and clinicians. These tools are much appreciated in the field for their potential to minimize the inherent subjectivity of manual analysis and to largely reduce the workload of clinicians via high-throughput analysis. This Special Issue intends to provide a comprehensive overview of recent, theoretical, and/or practical advances and new trends in biomedical/microscopy image enhancement and analysis, vision modelling, and general physiological models applied to biomedical/microscopy image processing and advanced visualization methods and devices, and to discuss their applications in the biological and medical fields. Keywords: BioMedical/microscopy image enhancement Biomedical/microscopy image quality assessment Biomedical/microscopy image analysis Computational approaches for citology and histology Computer-aided diagnosis Neuro imaging BioMedical/microscopy image databases Machine learning and artificial intelligence Image segmentation, registration, and fusion Interventional imaging systems Image-guided interventions and surgery Surgical and interventional simulation systems Interventional tracking and navigation Surgical planning and simulation Surgical visualization and mixed, augmented and virtual reality Digital twins and end-user development in biomedicine Interventional software and user interfaces Physiological models Dr. Elena Casiraghi Dr. Barbara Barricelli Guest Editors -- Mr. Blink Yu Managing Editor E-Mail: blink.yu(a)mdpi.com Skype: live:c91693ac8277e1f0 -- MDPI Wuhan Office No.6 Jingan Road, 430064 Wuhan, China MDPI Postfach, CH-4020 Basel, Switzerland http://www.mdpi.com -- Disclaimer: MDPI recognizes the importance of data privacy and protection.

StarlingX's Use of Keystone for Kubernetes Authentication
by Waines, Greg 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

Hey Colleen, Ildiko asked me to summarize StarlingX’s experiences with using Keystone in STX R2.0 . Specifically summarize StarlingX’s experiences with using Keystone for Kubernetes API Authentication and Docker Registry Authentication. Greg. Background: In STX 1.0 * StarlingX managed a Baremetal OpenStack Cloud, * All the OpenStack Services, e.g. neutron, nova, cinder, etc. ... including StarlingX itself, used Keystone to authenticate, In STX 2.0 * StarlingX changed to manage a Baremetal Kubernetes Cluster, with a Containerized OpenStack Cloud running on top of Kubernetes. * The solution is now layered * StarlingX Kubernetes * Keystone * StarlingX ... authenticating with the Platform Keystone * Kubernetes ... authenticating with the Platform Keystone (intent ... but abandoned) * Docker Registry ... authenticating with the Platform Keystone * OPTIONAL Containerized OpenStack * Keystone, * Nova, Neutron, Glance, Cinder, Horizon, Heat * ... all authenticating with the OpenStack Keystone * Barbican, Telemetry (Ceilometer, Panko, Gnocchi, Aodh), Ironic * ... all authenticating with the OpenStack Keystone Use of Keystone in “StarlingX Kubernetes”: * Ironically we were using Keystone for authentication of a Baremetal Kubernetes Cluster * Normally this would be done for a Kubernetes Cluster running on top of OpenStack * i.e. the Kubernetes Cluster using services of the underlying cloud provider * e.g. using the cloud provider’s authentication services, load balancing services, storage services, etc. * ( This doesn’t have any relevance to this discussion ... just thought I’d point it out. ) * StarlingX Services authenticating with Keystone * No issues ... did it in STX 1.0 ... so no changes required. * Docker Registry authenticating with Keystone * This link: https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/auth/token/ describes how Docker Registry token authentication works * The Authentication/Authorization Service in the above link’s diagram, MUST be a JSON Web Token Server supporting OAUTH2 interface to docker, * Docker provides an EXAMPLE of such a Token Server in its github: https://github.com/docker/distribution/tree/master/contrib/token-server , which can be copied and updated to handle your preferred authn/z backend. * Docker guy we spoke to was kind of surprised someone hadn’t done this already for keystone. * So StarlingX started with this example and built a JSON Web Token Server supporting OAUTH2 interface to docker and with a backend talking to Keystone * Located here: https://opendev.org/starlingx/containers/src/branch/master/registry-token-s… * ... we are still doing this currently. * Kubernetes API authenticating with Keystone * So we were using the Keystone Authentication and Authorization Webhooks and the Client-Keystone-Auth defined here: https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack * I presented this solution in this presentation at the DENVER OPENSTACK SUMMIT https://www.dropbox.com/s/gnyf3mtyf5janq1/KubernetesMultiTenancyWithKeyston… * See slides 6,7,8 * This did not work out-of-the box circa early-2019, we had to fix the following issues: * Had to add Authentication to Armada (upstreamed) * StarlingX used Armada to manage set of helm charts for openstack * Armada did NOT support kubernetes authentication * StarlingX team added it and upstreamed it * Had to fix lock feature for Authentication in Armada (upstreamed) * After previous upstream commit to support authentication in armada, * A commit went in to Armada to support locking (for atomic transactions I think), and the commit forgot to take into account authentication, * StarlingX team fixed this commit upstream. * Had issues with expiring tokens with the client-keystone-auth * I believe that the client-auth-plugin was using a cached keystone client that was holding on to tokens that eventually expired * We put in some workaround for this ... can’t remember details. * Eventually we “generally” had this working ... except for a specific but-easily-repeatable use case, where the system would hang or fail in client-keystone-auth (being called from the StarlingX systemInventory process) * It was a path in the client-keystone-auth, where the code was trying to refresh the token in the kubernetes client, * Investigation suggested that the client-keystone-auth was not compatible with our version of eventlet(0.18.4) ... which is a few years old, * There was no way to update the token through “proper” methods. Attempting to delete the client caused the code to mysteriously freeze. If you tried to set the client to none on 1 line then set it to a new client in another line, the code would freeze as you try to set the client to none. * we managed to get it to work by digging through the internals of the client and setting a new token that way, but this was somewhat of a hack. * Since eventlet was used everywhere and we were getting close to STX 2.0 release date, we felt like it was too much risk to try and upversion it. * So, we abandoned the “Kubernetes API authentication with Keystone” work. * StarlingX Roadmap wrt Kubernetes API Authentication * Given our struggles in getting Keystone working ... a little uneasy in picking it up again, * Also Authentication requirements from StarlingX 2.0 Users of the Kubernetes Layer only, are asking for things like: * OpenID Connect (OIDC, OAuth2) type authentication, * LDAP * SAML * Integration with specific authentication platforms like: * GitHub, * LinkedIn, * Azure, * Windows Active Directory * I suspect many of these would require development in Keystone to support. * Whereas there are other existing opensource solutions that can provide that now. Greg.

FW: [ironic] FFE: Add idrac HW type Redfish virtual media boot interface
by David.Paterson＠dell.com 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

My associate wasn't getting much traction with this FFE and I know this group expressed interest in this feature. Please take a look and review and +1 if possible. Thanks, dp From: Pioso, Richard Sent: Monday, September 23, 2019 8:09 PM To: 'openstack-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org' Subject: [ironic] FFE: Add idrac HW type Redfish virtual media boot interface Hi, I request a late feature freeze exception (FFE) for https://review.opendev.org/#/c/672498/ -- "Add Redfish vmedia boot interface to idrac HW type". There is high demand from operators for this feature. They would be delighted if it were included in Train. We believe it is a low risk change, because of the following: 1) It affects only the idrac hardware type. 2) The highest priority boot interfaces supported by the idrac hardware type remain so. 'ipxe' and 'pxe' continue to have the highest priority, and the new 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media' has the lowest priority. The new order from highest to lowest priority is 'ipxe', 'pxe', and 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media'. 3) The new interface is based on and almost entirely leverages an already merged interface implementation, 'redfish-virtual-media'. [1] Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you for your consideration. Rick [1] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/638453/

There are security related examples described in the Edge Security Challenges whitepaper [0] drafted by k8s IoT SIG [1], like in the chapter 2 Trusting hardware, whereby "GPS coordinate changes can be used to force a shutdown of an edge node". So a node may be taken out of service as an indicator of a particular condition of edge hardware.

CFP - IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 Workshop - MobileEdgeCom - Deadline July 7th
by Gianluca Antonio Rizzo 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

(Apologies if you received multiple copies of this call) **************************** MobileEdgeCom 2019 CFP *************************** The International Workshop on New and Disruptive Technologies and Applications for Mobile Edge/Fog Computing - MobileEdgeCom 2019 http://mobileedgecom.hevs.ch/ Waikoloa, HI, USA, December 9-13, 2019 Co-located with The IEEE Global Communications Conference (IEEE Globecom 2019) - https://globecom2019.ieee-globecom.org/ INTRODUCTION ============= The recent evolution of ICT has led to an increasing pervasiveness of sensing and computing, with the consequent generation of massive amount of data, calling for scalable and efficient decentralized approaches to data storage and elaboration. This has originated a progressive shift towards Fog and Smart-Edge nodes, mediating between the cloud and the end devices. The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is a decentralized model that transfers (part of) computing-intensive tasks from the cloud to intermediate (fog) nodes or to edge nodes. It typically leverages the computational capabilities of virtually any networked device, including resources such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and sensors. Within the context of cellular networks, The Edge Computing approach has led to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), enabling operators to run applications and perform related processing tasks closer to the cellular customer, reducing network congestion while improving latency and application performance. Such a vision is further boosted by the advent of 5G technologies, and the relative softwarization and virtualization of the main functionalities within the cellular network. Many research issues are currently open in MEC. At the same time, MEC is paving the way to many disruptive and novel application and business models, unforeseen previously, by boosting the visionary concepts of smart cities and factories. This workshop aims at collecting contributions highlighting challenges, state-of-the-art, and solutions to a set of currently open issues in MEC, including – but not limited to – performance, modelling, optimization, energy-efficiency, reliability, security, privacy and techno-economic aspects of Edge Computing. Through addressing these concerns while understanding their impacts and limitations, technological advancements will be channeled toward more sustainable/efficient platforms for tomorrow’s ever-connected systems and industrial applications. This workshop will welcome two kinds of contributions: • Research papers on innovative ideas, applications and solutions within the context of Mobile Edge Computing, which identify challenges, report experiences, and discuss progress towards design, solutions for MEC; • Position papers, describing revolutionary and visionary concepts related to Mobile Edge Computing and its applications, which identify vision/ideas of MEC where novel technologies taken from 5G, or even 6G, blockchain, virtualization are applied. This workshop aims at bringing together leading researchers from both academia and industry, providing an opportunity for them to share their vision on Mobile Edge Computing and novel disruptive ideas, with the potential of opening up novel research directions and/or applications. The goal is to solicit new ideas, insights and inspiration for the current research on Mobile Edge/Fog Computing. SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ Original papers are welcome on (but not limited to): ● Architectures and Middleware for MEC ● Distributed data storage and retrieval in MEC ● Performance and Security issues ● Energy efficiency aspects in MEC ● Architectures and Middleware for MEC ● Edge Intelligence ● 5G-enabled Edge Computing ● Edge Computing for Industrial Automation ● Blockchain-based Edge Computing ● Edge Computing within the Internet of Things ● Energy-efficient architectures/solutions for MEC ● Energy harvesting and offloading for MEC ● Network slicing and Resource allocation at the Edge. IMPORTANT DATES ================ ·Paper submission deadline: July 7th, 2019 ·Paper acceptance notification: August 15, 2019 ·Final camera ready and registration: September 15, 2019 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

[ironic][edge]: Recap of PTG discussions
by Csatari, Gergely (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Hi, There was a one hour discussion with Julia from Ironic with the Edge Computing Group [1]. In this mail I try to conclude what was discussed and ask some clarification questions. Current Ironic uses DHCP for hardware provisioning, therefore it requires DHCP relay enabled on the whole path to the edge cloud instances. There are two alternatives to solve this: 1) Virtual media support [2] where the ip configuration is embedded into a virtual image what is booted via the board management interface 2) Redfish support, however the state and support of redfish for host management is not clear. Is there already a specification has been added for redfish support? Upgrade of edge cloud infrastructures: - Firmware upgrade should be supported by Ironic. Is this something on its way or is this a new need? - Operating system and infra update can be solved using Fenix [3], however handling several edge cloud instances from a central location needs new features. Handling of failed servers: - A monitoring system or the operator should provide the input to mark a server as failed - Ironic can power down the failed servers and have the definition of a maintenance state - Discussed in [4] Additional ideas what we half discussed: - Running Ironic containers in a switch with the images hosted by Swift somewhere else. Are there any concerns about this idea? Any missing features from somewhere?

Lab requirements collection
by Csatari, Gergely (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi, During the PTG sessions we agreed that we will try to build and verify the minimal reference architectures (formally known as MVP architectures). We also discovered, that we might need to have some hardware for this. Some companies were kind enough to promise some hardware resource for us if we can define the "lab requirements" for these. There was someone in the room who volunteered for this task, but unfortunatelly I forgot the name. Can someone please remind me who was the kind person to volunteer for this task? Thanks, Gerg0

- Airship 2.0 support for edge
by David.Paterson＠dell.com 06 May '19

06 May '19

I am in the last Airship PTG day and the Edge Working Group came up in the discussion. It would be really good to have someone from Airship attend one of our calls to go over Airship's plan for the edge in their next release. I would suggest sometime this summer would be good. Thanks! dp

Speaker needed for edge cloud project at developer meetup on April 2nd
by zhaoqihui＠chinamobile.com 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hey guys, We got a chance to introduce Edge Cloud project and our current work at the developer meetup on April 2nd in Intel Campus (it is a parallel track with OPNFV Developer Gathering on the same day in the same place). However, Fuqiao and I are not able to come to the event. I was wondering if anyone will attend the meetup and help to introduce edge project as a speaker? If anyone is interested, please contact me. Thanks~~ PS, I'll prepare the presentation materials；) Best, Qihui China Mobile Research Institute (+86) 13810659120 From: fuqiao(a)chinamobile.com Date: 2019-03-12 09:10 To: bh526r; zhaoqihui Subject: Re: OPNFV Edge Cloud Introduction Hi, Bin. I am still working internally to see if I can get a chance to ONS and the gathering. If not, I think Qihui can help provide some progress about the edge project, and what we hope our community can do in the following releases. 中国移动研究院网络与IT技术研究所付乔 15901025951 From: HU, BIN Date: 2019-03-12 05:12 To: qihuiz; fuqiao Subject: OPNFV Edge Cloud Introduction Fu Qiao and Qihui, How are you?

[added edge-computing(a)lists.openstack.org] JFYI: some background for ICFC 2019 event: > ================================================================================= > IEEE International Conference on Fog Computing (ICFC 2019) > June 24-26, 2019 > Prague, Czech Republic > http://conferences.computer.org/ICFC/2019/ > Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering > (IC2E 2019) > ================================================================================== > > Important Dates > > -------------------- > > Paper registration and abstract: Nov 1st, 2018 > Full paper submission due: Nov 8th, 2018 > Notification of paper acceptance: Jan. 20th, 2019 > Workshop and tutorial proposals due: Nov 11, 2018 > Notification of proposal acceptance: Nov 18, 2018 So I have a draft of a positioning paper [0]... what missed that event :) tl;dr: It is known that causal consistency is the best suitable for high-latency, high-scale and highly dynamic nature of membership in clusters... which is exactly what multiple autonomous control planes represent in edge clouds for post-MVP phases. Even though the paper didn't make it for ICFC 2019 acceptance as I naively planned (not), hopefully we as community could find some use of it in future. Like collaboratively improving its contents, or making it readable by humans, then pushing it for other places for wider audience. It's just free for any use, please go for it! :) Or maybe we could prototyping something for OpenStack edge post-MVP cases out of SwiftCloud [1] just like the folks did for CockroachDB [2]? Note, while that github repo does not look super alive and driven by many contributions, that work looks really promising, you can read more for the theoretical fundamentals of it in "SwiftCloud: Fault-Tolerant Geo-Replication Integrated all the Way to the Client Machine" and "SwiftCloud: Write fast, read in the past: Causal consistency for client-side applications". That really buys to me to put it all client-sided at the edge and make it doing all geo-replication dances. Ofc there is more for prototyping. For example, building some Bolt-on'ish shim middleware on top of any popular eventual consistent storage, like Riak (not sure there is opensource implementations for Bolt-on yet). Or trying something at api-to-api level for high-level synchronization with "delayed replication" of queued operations. PS. @Pierre and @Adrien I gave it a quick glimpse into some of the sources you linked for the related work section of the positioning paper, thank you a lot for that and x1000 for authoring such things. So the draft now almost hits the recommended limit of a 6 pages, so I think there should be pretty much it for a positioning paper.

Hacking days
by Ildiko Vancsa 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Hi, I’m reaching out to you with an idea that we were discussing with Gergely. As many of us would be interested in make our hands dirty but can’t dedicate a lot of time to it steadily we were thinking about doing ‘hacking days’. Our goal is to identify smaller tasks such as the items on the Keystone x509 bug list and work on them as a group on a dedicated day. The idea is to get together virtually, like opening a Google Hangouts call and learn from each other while solving problems, doing testing, and so forth. We can also look into organizing an in person version at the Summits/PTGs if we have enough interest. Who would be interested in participating? Do you have a topic to work on and/or a preferred time to join? Thanks, Ildikó

Open Infrastructure Summit Forum and PTG preparations
by Ildiko Vancsa 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Hi, The Open Infrastructure Summit & PTG in Denver is approaching quickly so it is time to start preparing for the Forum and think of topics for the PTG as well. I created an etherpad to collect Forum session ideas: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/edge-wg-forum-preparation-denver-2019 The Forum session proposal period opens on February 22 and closes on March 8. For the detailed process and deadlines please see the following wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum Please add you ideas to the etherpad above and add +1’s for other ones you like and -1’s that you don’t think being a good fit for the Forum. We can revisit and finalize planning next week and the session moderators can go ahead and submit the sessions through the CFP tool. We’ve decided to request for a half day slot at the PTG for Edge WG specific topics and in the remaining time sit with project teams for discussing relevant items. To make sure we spend the time available to discuss important topics I created another etherpad to collect ideas and start planning: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/edge-wg-ptg-preparation-denver-2019 Please check the etherpads and add your ideas and comments there. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Edge Node locator

Hi , Disclaimer: I am not sure the question following is in the scope of this forum. I am trying to understand the Edge Architecture from UE point of view. How an app in UE can detect what the nearest edge it has to contact and how does it know whether the app is provisioned in that edge or not? Can you please share some pointers from this perspective? Best Regards Bharath T

Re: [Edge-computing] Edge Node locator
by Christopher Price 14 Feb '19

Bharath, A left field thought which I find quite interesting is to run your application on a CDN overlay. This can be constrained to the application layer and run over IP which reduces the need to try and weld this type of function to the infrastructure layer or expose too much service awareness through an extended mesh. (security security) Moves the problem to a defined space and keeps your infrastructure and app workloads simple and focused on what they should be doing. Millions of ways to skin that poor little cat though, imagination Vs cost… / Chris From: bharath thiruveedula <bharath_ves(a)hotmail.com> Date: Tuesday, 12 February 2019 at 18:53 To: "edge-computing(a)lists.openstack.org" <edge-computing(a)lists.openstack.org> Subject: [Edge-computing] Edge Node locator Hi , Disclaimer: I am not sure the question following is in the scope of this forum.

[keystone] x509 authentication
by Lance Bragstad 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hi all, We've been going over keystone gaps that need to be addressed for edge use cases every Tuesday. Since Berlin, Oath has open-sourced some of their custom authentication plugins for keystone that help them address these gaps. The basic idea is that users authenticate to some external identity provider (Athenz in Oath's case), and then present an Athenz token to keystone. The custom plugins decode the token from Athenz to determine the user, project, roles assignments, and other useful bits of information. After that, it creates any resources that don't exist in keystone already. Ultimately, a user can authenticate against a keystone node and have specific resources provisioned automatically. In Berlin, engineers from Oath were saying they'd like to move away from Athenz tokens altogether and use x509 certificates issued by Athenz instead. The auto-provisioning approach is very similar to a feature we have in keystone already. In Berlin, and shortly after, there was general agreement that if we could support x509 authentication with auto-provisioning via keystone federation, that would pretty much solve Oath's use case without having to maintain custom keystone plugins. Last week, Colleen started digging into keystone's existing x509 authentication support. I'll start with the good news, which is x509 authentication works, for the most part. It's been a feature in keystone for a long time, and it landed after we implemented federation support around the Kilo release. Chances are there won't be a need for a keystone specification like we were initially thinking in the edge meetings. Unfortunately, the implementation for x509 authentication has outdated documentation, is extremely fragile, hard to set up, and hasn't been updated with improvements we've made to the federation API since the original implementation (like shadow users or auto-provisioning, which work with other federated protocols like OpenID Connect and SAML). We've started tracking the gaps with bugs [0] so that we have things written down. I think the good thing is that once we get this cleaned up, we'll be able to re-use some of the newer federation features with x509 authentication/federation. These updates would make x509 a first-class federated protocol. The approach, pending the bug fixes, would remove the need for Oath's custom authentication plugins. It could be useful for edge deployments, or even deployments with many regions, by allowing users to be auto-provisioned in each region. Although, it doesn't necessarily solve the network partition issue. Now that we have an idea of where to start and some bug reports [0], I'm wondering if anyone is interested in helping with the update or refactor. Because this won't require a specification, we can get started on it sooner, instead of having to wait for Train development and a new specification. I'm also curious if anyone has comments or questions about the approach. Thanks, Lance [0] https://bugs.launchpad.net/keystone/+bugs?field.tag=x509

Status of Keystone federation testing with tempest
by Csatari, Gergely (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Hi, I'm working on this for a while, but as I am not a big expert of IdP, Keysone or Tempest I have a bit slow progress. I decided to share what I did and what are my current probelms to 1) inform the team about the progress 2) keep a record for myself 3) hoping for help and/or hints. So I did this: 1) Get an Ubuntu 2) Install devstack with enable_plugin keystone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/keystone enable_service keystone-saml2-federation Here I already ran into some package maangement issues due to some libcurl3 and libcurl4 incompatibility issue what I solved using https://launchpad.net/~xapienz/+archive/ubuntu/curl34 3) Install the Keystone tempest plugin 4) Build a Shibboleth IdP container based on https://github.com/Unicon/shibboleth-idp-dockerized with the configuration I believe is correct. I have a feeling that we will need to set a proper organisation for this if we want to publish this to Docker Hub. By the way is there a container registry maintained in the OpenStack development infra? 5) Run the container and expose 8080, 4443 and 8443 ports This is a half success. Shibboleth contacts Keystone (or actually the Shibboleth apache module) for metadata update, but it works only on the first attempt. The regular updates are not working for some reason. Also I was not able to get a positive answer from the status script of Shibboleth itself, so i just decided to move a bit forward. 6) Set idp_url to https://localhost:8080/idp/profile/SAML2/SOAP/ECP in _request_unscoped_token inside the Keystone tempest plugin. Here I have no idea where the configuration is actually stores and where should I set this in a nice way. 7) Run the tempest tests. Now here I get an error message which tells me about SSL version numbers (hands.hake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_record', 'wrong version number')],)",),))). I tried to use different ssl versions with Curl, but it complains about the lack of support in libsso. So here I am now. Things what I deffinetly should figure out: - Make this work 😉 - Set the idp address in the correct place - Figure out how to start a Container in a Keystone plugin or a tempest plugin - Figure out ow to integrate with CI Any comments are welcome. Br, Gerg0 Curl 3 and 4 : Evgeny Brazgin - launchpad.net<https://launchpad.net/~xapienz/+archive/ubuntu/curl34> launchpad.net PPA contains libcurl4 package, which supports both libcurl3 and libcurl4 API.

February APAC slot is colliding with the Chinese New Year
by Ildiko Vancsa 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hi, We have the APAC slot for the weekly calls every first Thursday of the month which in February is on the 7th. As Chinese New Year is on the 5th of February I wonder whether we should move the APAC slot to the week after (February 14th)? And if we do, should we switch it with the US-friendly slot or just simply move the call and have two calls on the week of February 11th? What would be your preference? Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Use cases mapping to MVP architectures - FEEDBACK NEEDED

Hi, We are reaching out to you about the use cases for edge cloud infrastructure that the Edge Computing Group is working on to collect.

Yes, I think we should try that. When I was doing the edge Pharos Spec, which is a draft for now, I definitely consulted the whitepaper, but was trying to do as less modification about the original Pharos spec as possible. Because I thought a test environment could not actually follow the real environment. And edge pharos spec is only one possible scenario that could be picked from edge site definitions. I'll see how to modify it and we can discuss in the following edge cloud meetings.

Zero Touch Provisioning
by Curtis 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Hi All, I forgot about this list and sent a message about Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to the openstack-discuss list [0]. I'm just wondering if there has been any discussion or documentation of ZTP in the edge computing group, and if so pointers would be great. :) If not I may try to add the use case to the edge computing use cases. I will try to attend the edge computing meetings in the new year. Thanks, Curtis [0]: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2018-December/001173…

Use cases mapping to MVP architectures - FEEDBACK NEEDED
by Ildiko Vancsa 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Hi, Hereby I would like to forward you the mapping of use cases to MVP architectures that Gergely Csatari is working on. Please provide feedback on this work item to make sure we are considering all the aspects. Thanks and Best Regards, Gergely and Ildikó In the Edge Coputing Group we are collecting use cases for the edge cloud infrastructure. They are recorded in our wiki [1] and they describe high level scenarios when an edge cloud infrastructure would be needed. During the second Denver PTG discussions we drafted two MVP architectures what we could build from the current functionality of OpenStack with some slight modifications [2]. These are based on the work of James and his team from Oath. We differentiate between a distributed [3] and a centralized [4] control plane architecture scenarios. In one of the Berlin Forum sessions we were asked to map the MVP architecture scenarios to the use cases so I made an initial mapping and now I’m looking for feedback. This mapping only means, that the listed use case can be implemented using the MVP architecture scenarios. It should be noted, that none of the MVP architecture scenarios provide solution for edge cloud infrastructure upgrade or centralized management. Here I list the use cases and the mapped architecture scenarios: Mobile service provider 5G/4G virtual RAN deployment and Edge Cloud B2B2X [5] Both distributed [3] and centralized [4] Universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) for Enterprise Network Services[6] Both distributed [3] and centralized [4] Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones) [7] None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event Cloud Storage Gateway - Storage at the Edge [8] None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event Open Caching - stream/store data at the edge [9] Both distributed [3] and centralized [4] Smart City as Software-Defined closed-loop system [10] The use case is not complete enough to figure out Augmented Reality -- Sony Gaming Network [11] None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event Analytics/control at the edge [12] The use case is not complete enough to figure out Manage retail chains - chick-fil-a [13] The use case is not complete enough to figure out At this moment chick-fil-a uses a different Kubernetes cluster in every edge location and they manage them using Git [14] Smart Home [15] None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event Data Collection - Smart cooler/cold chain tracking [16] None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event VPN Gateway Service Delivery [17] The use case is not complete enough to figure out [1]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Use_Cases [2]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Edge_Reference_Archite… [3]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Edge_Reference_Archite… [4]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Edge_Reference_Archite… [5]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Use_Cases#Mobile_servi….

Berlin Summit recap on Edge
by Ildiko Vancsa 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hi, I hope those of you who came to the Berlin Summit had a great event, a good trip home and got some rest, caught up with work and those who went on vacation had a great time. Hereby I would like to give a short summary to everyone either as a reminder or as a package to help you catch up briefly with what happened around edge in Berlin. As you most probably know we had a dedicated track for Edge Computing with numerous presentations and panel discussions at the conference which were recorded. If you would like to catch up or see some sessions again please visit the OpenStack website[1] for the videos. In parallel to the conference we were having the Forum taking place with 40-minute-long working sessions for developers, operators and users to meet and discuss new requirements, challenges and pain points to address. We had quite a few sessions around edge which you’ll find a brief recap of here. I would like to start with the OSF Edge Computing Group also Edge WG’s sessions, if you are new to the activities of this group you may want to read my notes[2] on the Denver PTG to catch up on the community’s and the group's work on defining reference architectures for edge use cases. During the Forum we continued to discuss the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) architecture topic[3] that we’ve started at the last PTG. As the group and attendees had limited amount of time available for the topic we concluded on some basics and agreed on action items to follow up on. The session attendees agreed that the MVP architecture is an important first step and we will keep its scope limited to the current OpenStack services listed on the wiki capturing the details[4]. While there is interest in adding further services such as Ironic or Qinling we will discuss those in this context in upcoming phases. The Edge WG is actively working on capturing edge computing use cases in order to understand better the requirements and to work together with OpenStack and StarlingX projects on design and implementation work based the input the groups has been collecting[5]. We had a session about use cases[6] to identify which are the ones the group should focus on with immediate actions where we got vRAN and edge cloud, uCPE and industrial control with most interest in the room to work on. The group is actively working on the map the MVP architecture options to the use cases identified by the group and to get more details on the ones we identified during the Forum session. If you are interested in participating in these activities please see the details[7] of the group’s weekly meetings. While the MVP architecture work is focusing on a minimalistic view to provide a reference architecture with the covered services prepared for edge use cases there is work ongoing in parallel in several OpenStack projects. You can find notes on the Forum etherpads[8][9][10] on the progress of projects such as Cinder, Ironic, Kolla-Ansible and TripleO. The general consensus of the project discussions were that the services are in a good shape when edge requirements are concerned and there is a good view on the way forward like improving availability zone functionality or remote management of bare metal nodes. With all the work ongoing in the projects as well as in the Edge WG the expectation is that we will be able to easily move to the next phases with the MVP architectures work when the working group is ready. Both the group and the projects are looking for contributors for both identifying further requirements, use cases or do the implementation and testing work. Testing is an area that will be crucial for edge and we are looking into both cross-project and cross-community collaborations for that for instance with OPNFV and Akraino. While we didn’t have a Keystone specific Forum session for edge this time a small group of people came together to discuss next steps with federation. We are converging towards some generic feature additions to Keystone based on the Athenz plugin from Oath. You can read a Keystone summary[11] for the week in Berlin from Lance Bragsad including plans related to edge. We had a couple of sessions at the Summit about StarlingX both in the conference part as well as the Forum. You can check out videos such as the project update[12] and other relevant sessions[13] among the Summit videos. As the StarlingX community is working closely with the Edge WG as well as the relevant OpenStack project teams at the Forum we had sessions that were focusing on some specific items for planning future work and understanding requirements better for the project. The team had a session on IoT[14] to talk about the list of devices to consider and the requirements systems need to address in this space. The session also identified a collaboration option between StarlingX, IoTronic[15] and Ironic when it comes to realizing and testing use cases. With putting more emphasis on containers at the edge the team also had a session on containerized application requirements[16] with a focus on Kubernetes clusters. During the session we talked about areas like container networking, multi-tenancy, persistent storage and a few more to see what options we have for them and what is missing today to have the particular area covered. The StarlingX community is focusing more on containerization in the upcoming releases for which the feedback and ideas during the session are very important to have. One more session to mention is the ‘Ask me anything about StarlingX’ one at the Forum where experts from the community offered help in general to people who are new and/or have questions about the project. The session was well attended and questions were focusing more on the practical angles like footprint or memory consumption and a few more specific questions that were beyond generic interest and overview of the project. These were the activities in high level around edge without going into too much detail on either of the topics as that would be a way longer e-mail. :) I hope you found interesting topics and useful pointers for more information to catch up on. If you would like to participate in these activities you can dial-in to the Edge WG weekly calls[17] or weekly Use cases calls[18] or check the StarlingX sub-project team calls[19] and further material on the website[20] about how to contribute or jump on IRC for OpenStack project team meetings[21] in the area of your interest. Please let me know if you have any questions to either of the above items. :) Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó (IRC: ildikov) [1] https://www.openstack.org/videos/ [2] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/edge-computing/2018-September/000432.h… [3] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-MVP-architecture-for-edge [4] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Edge_Reference_Archite… [5] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Use_Cases [6] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-edge-use-cases-and-requirements [7] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group [8] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-Cinder_at_the_Edge [9] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-ironic-edge [10] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-tripleo-undercloud-edge [11] https://www.lbragstad.com/blog/openstack-summit-berlin-recap [12] https://www.openstack.org/videos/berlin-2018/starlingx-project-update-6-mon… [13] https://www.openstack.org/videos/search?search=starlingx [14] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-integrating-iot-device-mgmt-with-edge-… [15] https://github.com/openstack/iotronic [16] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BER-containerized-app-reqmts-on-kubernetes… [17] https://www.openstack.org/assets/edge/OSF-Edge-Computing-Group-Weekly-Calls… [18] https://www.openstack.org/assets/edge/OSF-Edge-WG-Use-Cases-Weekly-Calls.ics [19] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Starlingx/Meetings [20] https://www.starlingx.io [21] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org
