Case Attributes

Description

Informational

Type

New Blueprint for the Edge

Blueprint Family - Proposed Name

It is an independent blueprint, NOT a blueprint family yet.

Use Case

MEC platform used for Connected Vehicle.

Blueprint proposed Name

Connected Vehicle Blueprint

Initial POD Cost (capex)

The Minimum Configuration:  4 Servers in total

MEC Platform(1 Server) + 1 App Server(1 Server)+ 2 Simulators(2 Server)

Scale & Type

Up to 4 Arm/X86 server

Applications

The MEC platform which can be used to connect vehicles, the general data flows are itemized below:
1)Grab the traffic/vehicle information
2)Dispatch the traffic/vehicle information to the corresponding edge process unit. Note well: The dispatch policy can be configurable.
3)Process the data in the Edge or Cloud and figure out the suggested action item for the vehicle driver
4)Send the suggested action items to the vehicle driver

Power Restrictions

Less than 6KW.

The Maximum Power consumption for each server is around 1500W,  1500 * 4 = 6000W

Infrastructure orchestration

Docker + K8s
VM and OpenStack/StarlingX

PaaS

TARS

Network

OVS, DPDK, VPP

Workload Type

Bare metal,  VM,  Container

openNESS

Criteria

Connected Vehicle Blueprint

Each initial blueprint is encouraged to take on at least two committers from different companies

Tencent, Arm, Intel, Nokia

Complete all templates outlined in these documents

Detailed in this slide

A lab with the exact configuration required by the blueprint to connect with Akraino CI and demonstrate CD. Users should demonstrate either an existing lab or the funding and commitment to build the needed configuration.

A test and simulation lab will be provided in Tencent Cloud Silicon Valley.

Blueprint is aligned with the Akraino Edge Stack Charter

All opensource, Edge use case,

Aligned with the Akraino Charter

Blueprint code that will be developed and used with Akraino repository should use only open-source software components either from upstream or Akraino projects.

Yes, all open source.

For new blueprints submission, the submitter should review existing blueprints and ensure it is not a duplicate blueprint and explain how the submission differs. The functional fit of an existing blueprint for a use case does not prevent an additional blueprint being submitted.

An edge platform for deploying connected vehicle applications does not exist in Akraino yet.
