Release Notes for the KNI Provider Access Edge
Summary
The Provider Access Edge blueprint aims to provide a platform for running NFV (e.g. vRAN, vBNG, SEBA) and MEC (e.g. MobileEdgeX) workloads on a small footprint, self-managing Kubernetes-on-bare metal cluster. The release 1 blueprint supports managing a whole edge stack only using Kubernetes resource configs (manifests). Edge stacks created with this blueprint can run both containerised and VM-based workloads (via KubeVirt) on a common platform. Release 1 also includes multi-network support (via Multus). Applications on top of this platform are managed via the Operator Framework.
