Akraino Scope
Akraino's Scope covers everything related to Edge, as outlined in the below picture:
Akraino scope includes:
- Development of edge solution to address Telco, Enterprise, and Industrial IoT
Develop Edge API and framework for interoperability with 3rd party Edge providers & hybrid cloud models
Collaborate with upstream community(CI/CD& upstream process support)
- Development of Edge Middleware, SDKs, applications and create an app/VNF ecosystem
Create Blueprints (integrated stack) to address Edge use cases:
(Telco/Hosted) Edge: e.g. include ONAP, OpenStack, Airship, etc (e.g. large/medium POD)
(Telco/hosted) Remote edge: Stack scale from single node to Enterprise use cases (e.g. IOT)
(OTT/Enterprise/Telecom) Stack for remote edge locations (1000s) with disaggregated hardware
(OTT/IIOT/Enterprise) Develop a lightweight stack for low latency remote edge and IOT gateway
Additional Scope
- Single Pane of Glass Control - Single view management of edge resources across 10,000 + sites.
- Thin local Control Plane - Develop multiple ways to reduce local box or data center control plane footprint. For example, run control/data plane mixed with security measures, run in network switches, etc.
- Edge user/ Developer APIs - Provide agnostic Edge APIs.
- Edge IaaS/ PaaS - Wide variety of Edge applications.
- Central/Regional VIM - Alternative to Thin local Control Plane. Remote orchestration of edge compute resources (thin control, agent only at the edge).
- Edge capabilities like analytics etc.
- Low Latency Provisioning - Dynamic Micro services enablement.
- Central/Regional ONAP - Enhance ONAP to support Edge scale.
- Cloud Native VNFs - Container/ Micro services based VNFs.
