Hi,

This is a friendly reminder that we will have a presentation from INRIA on the edge WG weekly call today.

The call is happening in less than an hour, at 1400 UTC. We are using meetpad for the call, you can dial in using this link: https://meetpad.opendev.org/osf-edge-computing-group

For further information about the meeting and the working group, please visit this wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings

Thanks,

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.

>> 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

Subject: [Edge-computing] Slides from today's presentation from INRIA
Message-ID: <56F4A008-7CE9-483D-89D2-5CC1FA14F014@openstack.org>

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

Hi,

I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the State of the Edge 2021 Report that is now available!

I participated in putting together this report as one of the editors. The document is a great overview of where edge computing is in terms of challenges and solutions as well as giving some market insights.

You can find the press release here:  http://bit.ly/3t5QJIM
Or download the report from here: https://stateoftheedge.com/reports/state-of-the-edge-report-2021/

Thanks,
Ildikó

Hi,

It is a friendly reminder that we keep the US time slot (6am PST) as a baseline for the weekly call.

As the US went through the daylight savings switch yesterday the meeting time in UTC is __1300 UTC starting today__.

Thanks,

Subject: [Edge-computing] ECG at the PTG
Message-ID: <49CB8085-62E3-4A2F-87E1-203205F5E933@openstack.org>

Hi,

On the call today we started to plan for the upcoming PTG to ensure we have some good discussions in real time. As a reminder, the next PTG is happening at __April 19-23, 2021__.

On previous PTGs we opted for having 2x2 hours and 1x3 hours booked on 3 consecutive days starting at 1300 UTC. These blocks provide the best coverage around the globe. If we follow the same scheme this time around as well that would give us the following time slots:

* Monday, April 19 - 1300 UTC - 1500 UTC
* Tuesday, April 20 - 1300 UTC - 1500 UTC
* Wednesday, April 21 - 1300 UTC - 1600 UTC

For potential agenda items we were thinking about the following:
* Reference Architecture discussion
* New use cases
  * Broadcasting
  * Manufacturing
* Storage discussion - requirements and solutions
* Cross-community collaboration
  * CNCF groups
  * LF Edge
  * GSMA Edge

We are collecting ideas and feedback on this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-april-2021

If you have any other topic ideas or feedback on the proposed time slots please add them to the etherpad or reply to this mail thread. We will __decide on the time slots on the weekly next Monday, March 22 at 1300 UTC__. We will keep on working on the agenda till the event in April.  

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

Hi,

As probably already know the next Project Teams Gathering (PTG) event is approaching fast and will happen on April 19-23, 2021: https://www.openstack.org/ptg/

Based on our former PTG attendance and discussions on the recent weekly calls we settled on the following time slots for the Edge Computing Group:

* Monday, April 19 - 1400 UTC - 1600 UTC
* Tuesday, April 20 - 1400 UTC - 1600 UTC
* Wednesday, April 21 - 1300 UTC - 1600 UTC

Please reply to this thread or reach out to me if you have objections to either of the above time slots.

For topics and agenda, please see this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ecg-ptg-april-2021

If you have additional topics please add them to the etherpad. Please add your name to the topic as well so we know who will help moderating that discussion.

If you are planning to attend the event, don’t forget to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/project-teams-gathering-april-2021-tickets-143360351671!

Thanks,
