Everything About Edge – Akraino is Edge Project

What is Akraino?

Development of Edge Applications Fully Integrated Open Edge Stack Development of Edge Middleware & API

+ +

• Develop Edge API

Develop framework for interoperability with 3rd party Edge providers & hybrid cloud models

• Create & Integrate Edge

stack to address Edge use cases (Blueprints)

• Edge Stack Life Cycle -

CI/CD & Tooling

• Upstream collaboration
• Develop Edge Middleware,

SDKs, applications and create an app/VNF ecosystem

Akraino Edge Stack – Key Principles

6/6/18 7

Design Build Operate

› Finite set of configurations – reduce complexity › Cloud native applications – design application to be optimized from the beginning › Simplified security – secure platform and services while not being a burden › Autonomous, turn-key solution for service enablement – enable rapid introduction › Platform, VNF and application assessment and gating – assess whether the application is fit to run at the edge (e.g.., latency sensitiveness, code quality) › Low startup cost – space, power, capital but scalable and evolvable › Low latency placement and processing – support the edge drivers › Plug and play modular architecture – building blocks using multiple cloud management technologies › Zero touch provisioning,

• perations and lifecycle – reduce

OpEx › Automated maturity measurement – operations, designs and services › Software abstraction based homogeneity – hide any hardware differences via software › Common platform and service

• rchestration – ONAP

Akraino is Complementary Akraino Interfaces With Adjacent Projects
