Hi All, The next OpenInfra PTG is approaching fast, the event will be held in a fully online format on October 17-21. We already have an etherpad to collect discussion topics for the event: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-october-2022 If you have further topics, please add them to the above etherpad, so we can include that in the planning. Please also add your name to your topic, so we know who to reach out to for further details. An important detail, that we haven’t yet decided on, is how much time and what time slots we would like to grab at the event for edge related discussions. What would you all prefer? Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

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.

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
