In the past decade, there has been a concerted effort among companies to move infrastructure to centralized clouds, enabled by virtualization. With the rise of IoT and explosion of device-generated data, the pendulum has begun to swing the other way, placing resources for analytics and specialized functions near the user end of the network.  IoT and 5G use cases demand performance determinism of computing, high network throughput with low latency and highly available services at the edge. The reach of these edge nodes will expand over the coming years as carriers update to 5G, amplifying the need for hardened infrastructure services. The Akraino Edge Stack aims to address this model of computing. Attend this session for an overview of the Akraino Edge Stack’s architecture, project organization, governance, and roadmap. You will also gain an understanding of how AkrainoEdge Stack interoperates with other community projects sponsored by the Linux Foundation and OpenStack Foundation.
