Introduction

...

The user experience needs to be as simple as possible and even a novice user should be able to set up a site.

Use Cases

1. SDWAN,  Customer Edge,  Edge Clouds – deploy VNFs/CNFs and applications as micro-services (Completed in R2 release using OpenWRT SDWAN Containerized)
2. vFW
3. EdgeX Foundry

1. SDEWAN CNF and IPSEC tunnelling between Edge Distributions
2. Openness Edge deployments in ONAP

Where on the Edge

Nowadays best efforts are put to keep the Cloud native control plane close to workload to reduce latency, increase performance, and fault tolerance. A single orchestration engine to be lightweight and maintain the resources in a cluster of compute node, Where the customer can deploy multiple Network Functions, such as VNF, CNF, Micro service, Function as a service (FaaS), and also scale the orchestration infrastructure depending upon the customer demand.

ICN target on-prem edge, 5G, IoT, SDWAN, Video streaming, Edge Gaming Cloud. A single deployment model to target multiple edge use case.

Kubernetes deployment (KUD) is a project that uses Kubespray to bring up a Kubernetes deployment and some addons on a provisioned machine. As it already part of ONAP it can be effectively reused to deploy the K8s App components(as shown in fig. II), NFV Specific components and NFVi SDN controller in the edge cluster. In R2 release KuD will be used to deploy the K8s addon such as  Virlet, OVN, NFD, CMK CPU Manager for Kubernetes and Intel device plugins such as SRIOV and QAT in the edge location(as shown in figure I). In R3 release, KuD will be evolved as "ICN Operator" to install all K8s addons. For more information on the architecture of KuD please find the information here.
