The purpose of this release is to automate the provisioning of ultra low latency light weight micro-MEC (μMEC) environment on AWS cloud and centrally manage multiple μMECs from a single dashboard. μMEC run on low foot print hardware and can cater to mission critical workloads. It takes an opinionated approach to spinning up an environment with pre-built configuration that are ready to use. It is cost effective compared to a fully configurable MEC environment as the and can be setup quickly.
