Description
Network Cloud Unicycle with SR-IOV support is an Akraino approved blueprint based on the original seed code provided by AT&T as the foundation for the Akraino Network Cloud Blueprint Family. This blueprint uses Airship to deploy a containerized Openstack environment with support for SR-IOV to provide virtual machines a high speed, low latency data path.
...
Use Case
The primary use case of Network Cloud Unicycle with SR-IOV blueprint is to support vRAN and 5G Core applications or other VM based edge applications which require high performance through-put with low latency. The blueprint will be evolved further to support multiple edge use cases.

Platform Architecture
...
The Regional Controller fully automatically deploys one or more Unicycle pods at each edge site location under its control. Unicycle pods consist of 3 control nodes and 0 to 4 worker nodes. Control nodes can also host tenant VMs as well as worker nodes. The configuration for each Unicycle edge site is defined in a user provided yaml based input file. Additional details can be found in the NC Family Documentation - Release 1.
