== Mission Statement ==
 +
* This OpenInfra Edge Computing Group’s objective is to define infrastructure systems needed to support applications distributed over a broad geographic area, with potentially thousands of sites, located as close as possible to discrete data sources, physical elements or end users. The assumption is that network connectivity is over a WAN.
 +
* The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group will identify use cases, develop requirements, and produce viable architecture options and tests for evaluating new and existing solutions, across different industries and global constituencies, to enable development activities for Open Infrastructure and other Open Source community projects to support edge use cases.

=== Minimal Reference Architectures ===

== Use Cases ==

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Architecture_Implementations_With_Kubernetes
  
=== Data Collection and Analytics ===
+
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Hybrid_Architecture_Implementations
IoT, where data is often collected from a large network of microsites, is an example of an application that benefits from the edge computing model. Sending masses of data over often limited network connections to an analytics engine located in
 
a centralized data center is counterproductive; it may not be responsive enough, could contribute to excessive latency, and wastes precious bandwidth. Since edge
 
devices can also produce terabytes of data, taking the analytics closer to the source of the data on the edge can be more cost-effective by analyzing data near
 
the source and only sending small batches of condensed information back to the centralized systems. There is a tradeoff here—balancing the cost of transporting
 
data to the core against losing some information.
 
  
=== Security ===
+
=== Work items for testing ===
Unfortunately, as edge devices proliferate––including mobile handsets and IoT sensors––new attack vectors are emerging that take advantage of the proliferation
+
* Detailed design of the minimal reference architectures
of endpoints. Edge computing offers the ability to move security elements closer to the originating source of attack, enables higher performance security
+
** Configuration of the minimal reference architectures
applications, and increases the number of layers that help defend the core against breaches and risk.
+
** Draft test plan: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ecg-test-plan
 +
** Lab requirements - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/edge-computing/2019-June/000597.html
  
=== Compliance Requirements ===
+
=== Hacking days ===
Compliance covers a broad range of requirements, ranging from geofencing, data sovereignty, and copyright enforcement. Restricting access to data based on
+
* etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osf-edge-hacking-days
geography and political boundaries, limiting data streams depending on copyright limitations, and storing data in places with specific regulations are all achievable
+
* Every Friday, please add your availability to the etherpad if you're available and interested
and enforceable with edge computing infrastructure.
 
  
=== Network Function Virtualization (NFV) ===
+
=== OpenStack Activities ===
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is at its heart the quintessential edge computing application because it provides infrastructure functionality. Telecom
 
operators are looking to transform their service delivery models by running virtual network functions as part of, or layered on top of, an edge computing infrastructure.
 
To maximize efficiency and minimize cost/complexity, running NFV on edge computing infrastructure makes sense.

Real-time applications, such as AR/VR, connected cars, telemedicine, tactile internet Industry 4.0 and smart cities, are unable to tolerate more than a few
 
milliseconds of latency and can be extremely sensitive to jitter, or latency variation. As an example, connected cars will require low latency and high bandwidth, and
 
depend on computation and content caching near the user, making edge capacity a necessity. In many scenarios, particularly where closed-loop automation is used
 
to maintain high availability, response times in tens of milliseconds are needed, and cannot be met without edge computing infrastructure.

Edge computing expands bandwidth capabilities, unlocking the potential of new immersive applications. Some of these include AR/VR, 4K video, and 360° imaging
 
for verticals like healthcare. Caching and optimizing content at the edge is already becoming a necessity since protocols like TCP don’t respond well to sudden
 
changes in radio network traffic. Edge computing infrastructure, tied into real-time access to radio/network information can reduce stalls and delays in video by up to
 
20% during peak viewing hours, and can also vary the video feed bitrate based on radio conditions.

=== Self-Contained and Autonomous Site Operations ===

== Adjacent Projects and Communities ==
Many environments, even today, have limited, unreliable or unpredictable connectivity. These could include transportation (planes, buses, ships), mining
 
operations (oil rigs, pipelines, mines), power infrastructure (wind farms, solar power plants), and even environments that should typically have good connectivity,
 
like stores. Edge computing neatly supports such environments by allowing sites to remain semi-autonomous and functional when needed or when the network
 
connectivity is not available. The best example of this approach is the need for retail locations to maintain their point of sales (POS) systems, even when there is
 
temporarily no network connectivity.

=== Privacy ===
+
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group/Adjacent_Edge_Projects
Enterprises may have needs for edge computing capacity depending on workloads, connectivity limits and privacy. For example, medical applications that need to
 
anonymize personal health information (PHI) before sending it to the cloud could do this utilizing edge computing infrastructure.
 
Another way to look at requirements that would benefit from cloud edge computing is by the type of company that would deploy them. Operator
 
applications are workloads put on edge computing infrastructure that is built and managed by operators—telecommunications companies, for example. Third-party
 
applications are built by organizations to run on existing edge infrastructure, in order to leverage others’ edge computing infrastructure. It is worth noting that
 
any applications could leverage any or all of the capabilities provided by a cloud—compute, block storage, object storage, virtual networking, bare metal,
 
or containers.

Mission Statement

  • This OpenInfra Edge Computing Group’s objective is to define infrastructure systems needed to support applications distributed over a broad geographic area, with potentially thousands of sites, located as close as possible to discrete data sources, physical elements or end users. The assumption is that network connectivity is over a WAN.
  • The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group will identify use cases, develop requirements, and produce viable architecture options and tests for evaluating new and existing solutions, across different industries and global constituencies, to enable development activities for Open Infrastructure and other Open Source community projects to support edge use cases.

Challenges

  • Life-cycle Management. A virtual-machine/container/bare-metal manager in charge of managing machine/container lifecycle (configuration, scheduling, deployment, suspend/resume, and shutdown). (Current Projects: TK)
  • Image Management. An image manager in charge of template files (a.k.a. virtual-machine/container images). (Current Projects: TK)
  • Network Management. A network manager in charge of providing connectivity to the infrastructure: virtual networks and external access for users. (Current Projects: TK)
  • Storage Management. A storage manager, providing storage services to edge applications. (Current Projects: TK)
  • Administrative. Administrative tools, providing user interfaces to operate and use the dispersed infrastructure. (Current Projects: TK)
  • Storage latency. Addressing storage latency over WAN connections.
  • Reinforced security at the edge. Monitoring the physical and application integrity of each site, with the ability to autonomously enable corrective actions when necessary.
  • Resource utilization monitoring. Monitor resource utilization across all nodes simultaneously.
  • Orchestration tools. Manage and coordinate many edge sites and workloads, potentially leading toward a peering control plane or “selforganizing edge.”
  • Federation of edge platforms orchestration (or cloud-of-clouds). Must be explored and introduced to the IaaS core services.
  • Automated edge commission/decommission operations. Includes initial software deployment and upgrades of the resource management system’s components.
  • Automated data and workload relocations. Load balancing across geographically distributed hardware.
  • Synchronization of abstract state propagation Needed at the “core” of the infrastructure to cope with discontinuous network links.
  • Network partitioning with limited connectivity New ways to deal with network partitioning issues due to limited connectivity—coping with short disconnections and long disconnections alike.
  • Manage application latency requirements. The definition of advanced placement constraints in order to cope with latency requirements of application components.
  • Application provisioning and scheduling. In order to satisfy placement requirements (initial placement).
  • Data and workload relocations. According to internal/external events (mobility use-cases, failures, performance considerations, and so forth).
  • Integration location awareness. Not all edge deployments will require the same application at the same moment. Location and demand awareness are a likely need.
  • Dynamic rebalancing of resources from remote sites. Discrete hardware with limited resources and limited ability to expand at the remote site needs to be taken into consideration when designing both the overall architecture at the macro level and the administrative tools. The concept of being able to grab remote resources on demand from other sites, either neighbors over a mesh network or from core elements in a hierarchical network, means that fluctuations in local demand can be met without inefficiency in hardware deployments.
