Untangling the edge - weekly call minutes
by Ildiko Vancsa 10 May '21

10 May '21

Hi, We had a really good chat today in an attempt to untangle the edge! As edge computing evolves we got some clarity around certain aspects and even more confusions and misconceptions around others. Today we were collecting these confusions and were also looking into commonalities and varieties in describing edge and edge infrastructures. We collected ideas for a first blog post that includes topics to deep dive into later on. You can find the noted from the call here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-untangling-the-edge If you would like to join the effort and help us untangle the edge you can join our next weekly call next Monday (May 17). If you cannot make it to the call, you can respond to this mail thread, or sign up on the etherpad above, or reach out to me directly and I can help you to get started. On our next weekly call next Monday we will deep dive into specific items to sort out, such as ‘why edge and 5G are two completely separate things’. Our calls are on Mondays at 1300 UTC, you can find more details here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Edge blog and survey
by Ildiko Vancsa 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hi, On the weekly call today we were brainstorming ideas on how to utilize our time on the calls the best as well as how to improve our ways to share information with the industry. Our plan is to use the weekly calls as an opportunity to discuss specific topics that we then turn into blog posts. Our goal is to make writing content a collaborative effort while also sharing the findings of our group with the broad industry in a more visible way than our wiki pages. Today we were sharing our thoughts around two questions that came up as part of a PTG feedback discussion: * There are a lot of silos and parallel activities around edge. Who and how can make it more coherent? * Which OpenStack projects are affected by the edge and what activities do they have in the area? Today we were focusing mainly on the first question and will be working on content to help groups in the industry and open source ecosystm to connect through. The topics that we identified today: * Untangling the Edge * Why 5G and Edge are two different and separate things? * Edge transport and network overlay On the weekly call next Monday (May 10) we will talk about untangling the edge and turn the discussion into a blog post. If you have ideas for further topics please throw them into this etherpad and add your name next to your topic idea: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-blog-posts We also plan to work on gathering information in the form of survey(s) to learn more about short and mid-term edge plans and identify gaps in current edge infrastructures. The weekly calls are happening every Monday at 6am PDT. You can find more details and dial-in information here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions.

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. Thanks, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Ecosystem Technical Lead Open Infrastructure Foundation

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

They are dramatically transforming telecommunication networks, campus, enterprise and data center networks, and accelerating the introduction of technologies and applications, which enable programmatic control of networks. Currently, NFV and SDN are in the transition phase from development and trials to full-scale deployments. Significant enablers for rapid adoption are the shifts towards open source software and hardware development, the convergence of IT and telco tools and technologies, and the alignment of operational processes. The integration of the latest research in software technologies, algorithms, hardware design, etc., driven by competition for the adoption of the best ideas is helping to drive global acceptance of NFV and SDN. The 2020 IEEE NFV-SDN conference is an important forum for the ongoing exchange of the latest ideas, developments, and results amongst ecosystem partners in both academia and industry. The conference fosters knowledge sharing and discussion on new approaches as well as work addressing gaps and improvements in NFV and SDN enabled architectures, algorithms and operational frameworks for virtualized network functions and infrastructures. TOPICS The IEEE NFV-SDN conference invites researchers from around the world to share ideas influencing the evolution and operation of NFV and SDN technologies. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: NFV and SDN Architectures, Infrastructure and Elements - Emerging improvements including Network Slicing and the unikernel paradigm - Impact of “open X” - Improvements in design of forwarding elements, e.g. switches/routers, wireless systems - Optimizing NFV infrastructures including hardware acceleration technologies - Heterogeneous server platforms and the detailed element-level CPU/GPU/FPGA mapping of NFV functions - SDN/NFV in recent and novel architecture paradigms such as Edge, Fog etc. NFV and SDN Operations - Dynamic license management, autonomics, machine learning, monitoring, resiliency, fault management and self-healing - Network security and isolation impacts of virtualization technologies - Advanced tools for automated design, deployment, validation and management - Application of machine learning and big data analytics to manage and simplify deployment and operation of SDN/NFV networks Performance Analysis and Optimization - Costs of migration of application containers and workloads - Data/control plane performance, interoperability and scalability studies - Resource dimensioning and optimization (e.g. cloud-native design), workload isolation and tradeoffs - Design guidelines for modularity, scalability, high availability and interoperability (e.g. container and microservices implementations) Results and Evaluations in Application Scenarios - Comparative studies on different virtualization technologies - Usage scenarios such as SD-WAN, IoT, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, etc. - Improvements in future communication infrastructure enabled by SDN and NFV including fixed and wireless access, public, private and hybrid clouds - Social and regulatory impacts (e.g. network implications of data location and privacy) DEMOS, TUTORIALS, WORKSHOPS, DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM Call for Demos: The IEEE NFV-SDN 2020 conference also invites demonstration papers in the NFV and SDN realms addressing (but not limited to) the topics above. The demonstrations should be configured to run in a cloud environment accessible via Internet and presented from the exhibition space floor on the demonstrator’s laptop. Also, an author of an accepted demo is required to register for the conference at the full or limited rate and present the demo at the IEEE NFV-SDN 2020 conference. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/ Call for Tutorials: The organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held prior to the main conference. Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: introducing students and newcomers to major topics in NFV and SDN research; providing instructions on established practices and methodologies; surveying a mature area of NFV and SDN research and/or practice; motivating and explaining an NFV and SDN topic of emerging importance; introducing expert non-specialists to an NFV and SDN research area. Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Tutorial Program Co-Chairs. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/ Call for Workshop Proposals: The committee solicits proposals for one full-day or two half-day workshops to be held at the beginning of the main technical program. The scope of the workshops aims to complement the main conference program with forums for exchange of technical expertise, development, integration and standardization efforts on particularly focused areas of interest within the frame of NFV and SDN. Proposals from industry and academia are welcome. Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Workshop Program Co-Chairs. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieeenfvsdn.org/ Call for Doctoral Symposium: The Doctoral Symposium is a new feature for the conference this year. It provides an opportunity for young researchers (PhD students) to discuss and get valuable feedback on preliminary research work from experienced researchers from both industry and academia. It will help to build and strengthen collaboration amongst the communities researching and working in the areas of NFV and SDN. The doctoral symposium has the status of an IEEE workshop and provides an excellent opportunity for networking amongst PhD students and experienced researchers. Accepted submissions are published in the conference proceedings. For information on submission, please visit http://www.ieee-nfvsdn.org/ AUTHOR & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prospective authors are invited to submit original full technical or fast-track papers for publication in the IEEE NFV-SDN 2020 Conference Proceedings and for presentation in the technical sessions.

Edge sessions on the virtual PTG - ACTION NEEDED
by Ildiko Vancsa 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Hi, I’m reaching out to you as we need to book slots for edge discussions on the official schedule[2] of the virtual PTG[1]. As discussed on this week's working group meeting we are shooting for three blocks (~2 hours) to cover reference architecture and testing discussions as well as cross—project related topics More details are on the PTG planning etherpad[3]. I created a Doodle poll[4] with time slots that are doable around the globe. Please __fill it out as soon as you can__ if you are interested in joining and I will book the three most popular slots. Thanks, Ildikó [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/edge-computing/2020-April/000699.html [2] https://ethercalc.openstack.org/126u8ek25noy [3] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg_virtual_ptg_planning_june_2020 [4] https://doodle.com/poll/gpd4hg6ambryi8c9

Fwd: Virtual PTG Layout & Signup
by Ildiko Vancsa 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Greetings! I am sure you have all been anxiously awaiting more details on how we are going to virtualize the PTG :) After the community meetings we had last week/the week before to understand the key challenges and ideate on solutions, we have a plan! The virtual event will be held from Monday June 1 to Friday June 5. We set up available times in 3 different time windows where each window is a cross over time between at least 2 regions (Window A - Americas/Europe, Window B - Europe/APAC, and Window C - APAC/Americas). Here is an ethercalc[1]. We ask that the PTL/SIG Chair/Team lead sign up for time to have their discussions in with 4 rules/guidelines. 1. Cross project discussions (i.e. SIGs and horizonal teams), try to schedule yourselves towards the start of the week so that any discussions that might shape those of vertical teams might happen first. 2. Vertical teams (ex. Nova, Cyborg, Manila) should wait till April 6th at 7:00 UTC to start signing up for slots to help prioritize the scheduling of cross project conversations. 3. No team (SIG, horizonal project, vertical project, etc) can sign up for more than 4 hours per UTC day to help keep participants actively engaged. 4. No team (SIG, horizonal project, vertical project, etc) can sign up for more than 16 hours across all time slots to avoid burning out our contributors and to enable participation in multiple teams discussions. Once every team has had a chance to sign up (lets say two weeks from today April 28th at 7:00 UTC) if signing up for more time makes sense, it will be possible. We want to encourage ANY team to sign up, even those that had originally said no to the initial outreach when the PTG was supposed to be in person. The more the merrier! Once you have signed up for time slots, please also fill out this survey[2] with your team information. We need this additional information to help shape other decisions down the road and coordinate other details closer to the event. If you have any issues with signing up your team, due to conflict or otherwise, please let me know! While we are trying to empower you to make your own decisions as to when you meet and for how long (after all, you know your needs and teams timezones better than we do), we are here to help! Continue to check back for updates at openstack.org/ptg <http://openstack.org/ptg>. -the Kendalls (diablo_rojo & wendallkaters) [1] https://ethercalc.openstack.org/126u8ek25noy <https://ethercalc.openstack.org/126u8ek25noy> [2] https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/june2020_virtual_ptg_survey <https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/june2020_virtual_ptg_survey>

[tc][all][SDK][API] Multi-region/edge OpenStack deployment
by Marie Delavergne 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi, Following the previous discussions regarding approaches to make several instances of OpenStack collaborative[1], we finally decided to make a research report on the approach we initially proposed during the edge hackathon in Berlin (OSF summit 2018). The document is a short article (~10 pages long)[2] that gives a rather complete overview of the approach. If you are interested to see how mutliple instances of distinct OpenStack can give the illusion of a single system you might be interested to give it a look. A brief excerpt: “We propose a novel approach that delivers any collaboration between services of distinct OpenStack once and for all. Our approach eliminates development efforts related to the brokering aspect by leveraging dynamic composition and a Domain Specific Language (DSL). Using these two mechanisms, Admins/DevOps can specify, on a per-request basis, which services from which OpenStacks are required for the collaboration. This information is then interpreted to dynamical recompose services between the different OpenStacks, enabling the execution of single-, cross- or multiple-site requests without code effort.” The main idea is, considering several OpenStacks running, to use a DSL to specify which instance of the service (i.e. on which Openstack) the user wants its request to be executed. For instance, to provision a VM on a Nova in Paris using an image from a Glance in New York. You may contact the API either in NewYork or in Paris and perform the following request: "openstack server create --image debian --scope { compute: Paris, image: New York }" Along with the report comes a proof of concept available on GitLab[3]. Feel free to get back to us.
