This document describes the use of Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI) implemented based on Edge Multi-Cluster Orchestrator (EMCO) for deployment of Public Cloud Edge (PCE) Apps from multiple clouds (Azure and AWS), deployment of a 3rd-Party Edge (3PE) App (an implementation of ETSI MEC Location API App), as well as the end-to-end operation of the deployed PCE Apps using simulated Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) IoT client.
Functional Roles
Developers
Individuals/entities that:
- Create the PCE/3PE Apps
- Provision services in Public Clouds (PCC)
- Note that valid Public Cloud subscriptions/accounts are required
- Package PCE/3PE Apps using Helm Charts
- Access PCEI/EMCO Orchestrator using UI or APIs to onboard PCE/3PE services/apps
- PCEI R4 supports UI access only
Operators
Entities that:
- Provide network functions and services such as:
- Access (mobile or fixed)
- Network connectivity
- Devices (e.g. LPWA IoT)
- Access PCEI/EMCO Orchestrator using UI or APIs to deploy PCE/3PE apps
- Connecto to Edge Providers/Clusters and Public Clouds using Public Internet or Private Interconnect
- PCEI R4 supports Public Internet connectivity only
Edge Providers
Entities that:
- Provide edge infrastructure, such as:
- Edge Data Centers
- Edge Compute/Network/Storage hardware
- Edge Virtualization layer/software, such as Kubernetes, Openstack
- PCEI R4 supports Kubernetes only
- Provide Public Peering and Private Interconnection
- Between Operators and Edge Providers
- Between Operators and Public Clouds
- Between Edge Providers and Public Clouds
Public Cloud Providers
Entities that:
- Provide Iaas/SaaS services
PCEI Enabler
- Orchestration Software and APIs
- May be provided by:
- Operators
- Edge Providers
- Public Cloud Providers
End-to-End Validation Environment
...
To register the two Edge K8S Clusters created during PCEI installation (refer to PCEI R4 Installation Guide), the cluster configuration files need to be copied from the corresponding VMs to the machine that is used to run the VNC server to to access EMCO UI. Please make sure that the ssh key used to access the VMs is present on the machine that runs the VNC serverwhere the cluster config files are being copied to. The example below assumes that the VNC server is running on cluster config files are copied to the Host Server used to deploy EMCO and Edge Cluster VMs. Alternatively, the ssh key and the config files could be copied to a laptop.

For the purposes of this document we use the Host Server on which EMCO has been deployed and on which we run the VNC server to package Helm charts for Azure IoT Edge.
A local laptop can be used to package Helm charts for Azure IoT Edge. Alternatively the Host Server itself can be used to package the Helm charts for Azure IoT Edge.
Clone Azure IoT Edge from github:
NOTE: Due to Azure IoT Edge on K8S being in preview stage, please use the below URL to clone the Helm charts:

Copy the infrastructure profile tar file to your home directory on from the Host Server. If using a local laptop, copy this file from the Host Server. This file is needed to define the Service and the App in EMCO:
...
Click on "+ Add App" and add the "awsggc1" app. Make sure to use the "awsggc1" name to match the app tar file name without the extension:
// Oleg Berzin, is this figure same as the previous figure? - Tina Tsou
Define the AWS GGC app by adding the App tar filr and the Profile tar file:
