Open Stack

Hi,

It is a friendly reminder to please mark your calendars to attend our joint session with the Chameleon project on September 13 to learn about how edge computing is becoming crucial for scientific research and academic use cases.

As part of the presentation they will be talking about their journey with OpenStack and the gaps they found to turn it into an edge platform that suits their needs. Following the presentation we will be talking about solutions and collaboration opportunities.

Please note that __the call on September 13 will happen on Zoom__ in order to be able to record the session.
Please find the dial-in information on our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings

I also attached a meeting invite file to this mail that you can add to your calendar as a reminder.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

As always in the area of edge there are challenges and gaps that we need to solve together. In that sense the session will start with a presentation that we will then turn into a discussion to turn towards discussing solutions.

> Title: Chameleon: a cloud to edge infrastructure for science
> 
> Abstract: The NSF-funded Chameleon project (www.chameleoncloud.org) provides an OpenStack-based bare metal reconfigurable cloud that supports systems research, education, and emergent application projects in science. The facility has been in existence for 6+ years, and has served ~6,000 users working on a variety of projects ranging from networking, operating systems design, and security, to innovative applications in astronomy, physics, and life sciences.  Recent research trends in IoT and edge computing, as evidenced by increased numbers of project applications in those areas, made it clear that Chameleon needed to expand into the edge space. Remaining within the OpenStack framework allowed us to leverage end-user features that we developed for Chameleon, such as access via federated identity and Jupyter integration. Accordingly, we developed infrastructure called CHI at Edge that adapts Zun to provision containers on edge devices and significantly expands its capabilities to work in the edge space. The talk will describe our use case and the emergent product definition, the OpenStack adaptations we made to the current preview implementation, the directions we plan to take in our further work, as well as the ecosystem of projects and NSF infrastructure deployments leveraging this work and collaborating with us.
