This Akraino Blueprint, when completed, will implement the type II of Akraino PCEI Blueprint family that specifically focuses on a solution consisting of a mobile game deployed across multiple heterogenous edge nodes using network access technologies such as mobile and Wifi. This implementation demonstrates seamless roaming using KubeEdge technology-set. It essentially allows users to locally access multi-access edge computing (MEC)-enabled services while roaming.
We are targeting the initial implementation to be available by R5. We are planning to do incremental releases afterwards on a periodic basis.

Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective | Cost of a proof of concept. Cost is only for the hardware. Federated KubeEdge is a software layer. Its managed applications can run on any Kubernetes environment. Validated edge stack including hardware choices should have manageable cost suitable for edge deployments. |
Business Cost – Target Operational Objective | Federated KubeEdge edge service provides service portal for operational management. It supports zero touch deployment and monitoring capabilities. |
Security need | KubeEdge supports application oriented security SPIFFE spec. |
