Akraino Edge Stack, is an open source community creating an open source software stack supporting high-availability cloud services optimized for edge computing systems and applications, running in virtual machines and containers to support reliability and performance requirements. While several open source projects exist to help solve pieces of the puzzle, nothing currently meets the need for an edge infrastructure solution. Integration of existing technologies with Akraino Edge Stack will help deliver ease of use, greater reliability, unique features, and network performance.
Intel’s contribution of production-quality edge computing infrastructure software offers users new levels of flexibility to scale edge cloud services faster, maximize the applications or subscribers supported on each server, and help ensure the reliability of systems. This project helps provide an open and scalable platform to encourage broad community involvement, accelerating innovation and edge stack productization across the ecosystem.
- The Akraino project maintains source code in a Gerrit repository with seed code contributed by Intel.
- Check out our Getting started guide for a quick introduction to downloading, building, and running Akraino.
Our Akraino Project community includes developers from member organizations and the general community, all joining in the development of software within the Akraino Project. Members contribute and discuss ideas, submit bugs and bug fixes, and help those in need through the community’s forums, such as our mailing list and IRC channel. Anyone can join the developer community and the community is here to help its members and the user community get the most out of the Akraino Project.
- The main akraino.org website includes a registration page to join the Akraino community and links to recent news articles.
- Our project uses Jira for issue reporting and tracking. You can browse through reported issues and requests, and submit issues of your own.
- Mailing lists are a convenient way to track developer discussions and to ask your own support questions to the Akraino project community. There are specific mailing list subgroups for events, announcements, and developer discussions. A message archive lets you catch up on conversations you may have missed.
- We've set up a real-time freenode IRC channel with the Akraino community on the #akraino channel. Join the discussion using the http://webchat.freenode.net web client or a client application such as pidgin or hexchat.
