New Cloud Edge Computing white paper
by Ildiko Vancsa 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to share that today, the OSF Edge Computing Group released 'Cloud Edge Computing: Beyond the Data Center', a white paper that explores the area of edge computing by identifying use cases, scenarios and commonalities in the challenges to support broadscale edge computing adoption. Members of the OSF Edge Computing Group—including representatives from AT&T, B.Yond, Cisco, Ericsson, HPE, IMT Atlantique, Inmarsat, Red Hat, Verizon and Walmart Labs—have identified fundamental requirements and are issuing a challenge to the open infrastructure community to create and/or adapt the tools that are needed to enable broad adoption. In addition to the white paper, the group has established weekly meetings to further the cross-community collaboration around edge computing. Interested in joining? Learn more about the Edge Computing Group and how you can get involved: https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/ Thank you to everyone who contributed! Best Regards, Ildikó

2018 Work Sessions for Attemting to drive Edge Computing towards Abstractions
by prakash RAMCHANDRAN 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Hi all, First returning to Edge after few months and like to understand what I saw was discussed in this forum till now, from OpenDev at SF last year till date: 1. General idea of Special VM at edge as cloudlet by Prof Satya of CMU with his App centric approach and more geared towards computing 1 hop from device, clearly the best reserach to date for Edge cloud/computing. 2.use cases - edge could infra, single vs multi-operator, capacity, alarms/monitor, unified dashbaord, PM, FM, VM migration, Discovery, Registry, VM Overlay/Sythesys, VM Residual3. LTE based edge with RRH, ENB, Front end micro DC for Mobile apps.(like CMU /Nokia labs)4. Classifiation of Infra based on sizing of requirments at edge by compute/HPC, stoarge, throughput,latnecy, Interaction and typical use cases in auto for V2I with hierarchial cloud with edge closer to device. All variations have some or the other proprietary approach and we need lowest common base to make sense from to defining edge cloud Infra or edge cloud App. Abstractions are key and here is an attempt to arrive at commn absractions for use cases. Suggest we discuss how to derive lowest coomon objects based on following Abstracions as a start: Abstratiing edge compute Infrastructure & Applications for Openstack 1. IDP - Third Party/ CSP2. Cloud and/or CSP - Provider/Tenanant, Type - Central/Ditributed/Edge3. Cluster - node (Compute, Network, Storage, Mixed, cloudlet ), type (Phy, Virt), topology, template, capability(Bandwidth, Latency, Jitter)4. Service composition over Cluster using VM, Containers or Unikernal5. Serbice Discovery & Registartion in Catalog6. Workload Supported - Video Streaming, Real time Application(Audio, Alarms), IoT Application, Interactive apps like Games/AR/VR/MR, Presence and Messaging (twitter/IM)7. Hardware Acceleration - Compression, Encryption, Offloading workloads8.Stateless and State Management for Applications on Edge Infrastructure 9. End-to-End Service level Policy, Resource pooling/Charging , Resiliance and other Opesrational complexity management. Since we have had many false starts sticking to basics like Prof. Saty suggetss is the best way and you are welcome to tear apart what I write here to give some alternate approach to simplify the complexity of dancing elephents as our reaserch folks call it. Also if you can educate on any projects that have covered of late any of the above which I am un-aware please educate me. Our window to close is Thursday for Vanouver CFP and like to hear from you all to see where are we headed after several attempts to get consensus on Edge Computing. We discuss this based on time available this or few more weeks when we continue this to get some reasoanble idea for blueprints and directions we take in 2018. ThanksPrakash

Request for people interested in an Edge Computing Security session at Summit
by beth.cohen＠verizon.com 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Folks - I have submitted a proposal for a session at the Vancouver Summit on Securing the Edge. I am looking for people who would like to join me on the panel/presentation. Drop me a note if you are interested in participating. Cloud Edge computing use cases range from IoT to VR/AR and any widely distributed application in between. However, taking OpenStack out of the data center requires an entirely new approach to security when there is far less ability to restrict access and often the applications require a shared tenant model. Some of the factors that need to be considered include: • More stringent requirements for infrastructure software (code/design) in exposed environments • New ways of thinking about RBAC at the control interfaces • Conflicts arising from shared ownership and divided responsibilities for devices/systems/applications • Managing lifecycle operations and deployments over insecure WAN connections • Different ways of looking at tenant spaces in remote locations • Imposing network/compute/storage/memory separation from the underlying virtualization/hardware components • Managing security over intermittent WAN connections • Securing semi-autonomous and self-managed locations Beth Cohen NFV/SDN Network Product Strategy O +781-466-2055 | M +781-434-8553 beth.cohen(a)verizon.com

OpenStack Vancouver Summit CFP is open - what’s new
by Claire Massey 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi all, Last week, we opened the Call for Presentations <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/> for the OpenStack Vancouver Summit <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/>, which will take place May 21-24. The deadline to submit your proposal is February 8th. What’s New? We’re focused on open infrastructure integration. The Summit has evolved over the years to cover more than just OpenStack, but we’re making an even bigger effort to attract speakers across the open infrastructure ecosystem. In addition to OpenStack-related sessions, we’ll be featuring the newest project at the Foundation -- Kata Containers -- as well as recruiting many others from projects like Ansible, Ceph, Kubernetes, ONAP and many more. We’ve also organized Tracks around specific problem domains. We encourage you to submit proposals covering OpenStack and the “open infrastructure” tools you’re using, as well as the integration work needed to address these problem domains. We also encourage you to invite peers from other open source communities to come speak and collaborate. The Tracks are: CI/CD Container Infrastructure Edge Computing HPC / GPU / AI Open Source Community Private & Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud Telecom & NFV Where previously we had Track Chairs, we now have Programming Committees <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/sele…> for each Track, made up of both Members and a Chair (or co-chairs). We’re also recruiting members and chairs from many different open source communities working in open infrastructure, in addition to the many familiar faces in the OpenStack community who will lead the effort. If you’re interested in nominating yourself or someone else to be a member of the Summit Programming Committee for a specific Track, please fill out the nomination form <https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstackvancouver2018_prog…>. Nominations will close on January 26, 2018. Again, the deadline to submit proposals <https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/call-for-presentations/> is February 8, 2018. Please note topic submissions for the OpenStack Forum (planning/working sessions with OpenStack devs and operators) will open at a later date. We can’t wait to see you in Vancouver! We’re working hard to make it the best Summit yet, and look forward to bringing together different open infrastructure communities to solve these hard problems together! Want to provide feedback on this process? Please focus discussion on the openstack-community mailing list, or contact me or the OpenStack Foundation Summit Team directly at summit(a)openstack.org <mailto:summit@openstack.org>. Thanks, Claire

[FEMDC] A first step to the gap analysis of the OpenStack code base
by lebre.adrien＠free.fr 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Dear all, Following our last exchanges, we had a few discussions regarding the OpenStack code base w.r.t the edge challenges. Our idea was (i) to identify a couple of requirements (from the simplest one, i.e. starting a VM at a specific location, to the most advanced one, i.e. interoperability issues between distinct cloud stacks) and (ii) to analyse how the OpenStack codebase can fulfil these requirements. Our exchanges have been summarised at : https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/edge-gap-analysis Please feel free to comment/complete it. Best regards, On behalf of the FEMDC SiG. ad_ri3n_

Tomorrow's meeting
by Jonathan Bryce 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi everyone, I’m traveling tomorrow and will not be able to join the weekly call. I’ve asked Allison Randal to lead it and she agreed. In addition to continuing to review the scenarios, it would also be great if we could identify a few high level themes or topics that we’d like to see covered during the edge track at the Vancouver Summit. Also, next week, the call collides with the same time as a Foundation Board meeting that I know several of us will be joining, so I’d propose we skip the 2017-01-30 call. Thanks! Jonathan

Classifying edge-site scenarios / Identifying expected features
by lebre.adrien＠free.fr 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hi, Following the LTE discussion, I'm wondering whether we should not try to classify the edge-site scenarios by level of the complexity (i.e., features/capabilities each scenario implies/requires). A possible classification can start with: a) An edge infrastructure composed of several edge sites operated by a same organisation with WAN wired connections. b) The same infrastructure but with LTE connections c) Scenario a) but where the edge infrastructure is spread over several edge sites belonging to different organisations/operators d) scenario c) but with LTE e) .. In parallel, we can try to identify w.r.t these scenarios what are the expected features/services from the administrator viewpoint and then from the developers viewpoint. I have the feeling that we all have relevant scenarios with specifics according to our targets. Having a classification can allow us to move forward by just focusing on classes instead of each particular scenario independently. My two cents, ad_ri3n_
