Akraino Scope

...

  • 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:

    1. (Telco/Hosted) Edge: e.g. include ONAP, OpenStack, Airship, etc (e.g. large/medium POD)

    2. (Telco/hosted) Remote edge: Stack scale from single node to Enterprise use cases (e.g. IOT)

    3. (OTT/Enterprise/Telecom) Stack for remote edge locations (1000s) with disaggregated hardware

    4. (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.

Edge Requirements and Key principles 

Edge computing requires significant efforts associated with seamless integration and user experience.  Also, Edge computing solutions require large-scale deployment, typically covering 1000 plus locations.  Keeping these challenges in mind, the key requirement for the Akraino project is to keep the cost low and ensure it supports large-scale deployments via automation.  The Akraino community to work with multiple upstream open source communities such as Airship, OpenStack, ONAP, etc., to deliver a fully integrated stack. The Akraino Edge Stack will supply a fully integrated solution that supports Zero-touch provisioning, and Zero-touch lifecycle management of the integrated stack.
