The Linux Foundation Akraino Edge Stack community will conduct a workshop on December 17^th at the BITS Pilani, Campus in Goa, India and a second workshop in New Delhi, India on December 23rd.

The workshop in Goa will be co-located with IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunications Systems which is being held at the same venue December 16-19, 2019.  See URL:  https://ants2019.ieee-comsoc-ants.org/. The workshop in New Delhi will be co-located with Open Technology for Digital Transformation initiative on December 23rd, 2019.

Akraino Edge Stack, a Linux Foundation project initiated by AT&T and Intel focused on developing a fully integrated edge infrastructure solution for Edge Computing.  The open source software stack provides critical infrastructure to enable high performance, reduce latency, improve availability, lower operational overhead, provide scalability, address security needs, and improve fault management.  Akraino community addresses multiple edge use cases and industries, not just the Telco Industry. Akraino community develops solutions and supports carrier, provider, and IoT networksLaunched in 2018, and now part of the LF Edge umbrella, Akraino Edge Stack is creating an open source software stack that supports a high-availability cloud stack optimized for edge computing systems and applications. Designed to improve the state of edge cloud infrastructure for enterprise edge, OTT edge, and carrier edge networks, it offers users new levels of flexibility to scale edge cloud services quickly, to maximize the applications and functions supported at the edge, and to help ensure the reliability of systems that must be up at all times. The Akraino Edge Stack blueprints use several upstream open source projects such as ORAN Alliance, CNCF, Openstack, ONF, ONAP, TIP and the community works with open source communities to enhance any missing edge functionality.

This workshop will provide an overview of  Akraino Edge Stack , introduce Akraino Release 2 blueprints, and cover other edge computing related technical topics including collaboration between Akraino and ORAN Alliancewith a focus on engaging service providers in India so they can leverage Akraino blueprints for deploying edge computing solutions for their use cases of interest. 

Led by experienced architects, designers and academics this workshop will provide a unique opportunity to learn best practices and acquire needed skills in edge computing space. Besides providing comprehensive coverage of topics in edge computing there will be an opportunity for peer networking to connect with fellow professionals and expert practitioners from industry.

There is no cost to attend the event and we encourage everyone interested in edge computing infrastructure to attend.
