Federated Multi-Access Edge Cloud Platform

Federated Multi-Access Edge Cloud Platform

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 driver

Federated edge cloud imposes challenges in the edge service discovery and application migration in a device/edge/cloud setting. Goal is to address all these challenges by implementing a cloud gaming application in the federated edge cloud environment.

 

 

Business use cases

To implement the type II of Akraino PCEI Blueprint 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.

 

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.
