The Linux Foundation Akraino Edge Stack community will conduct a workshop on December 17th at the BITS Pilani, Campus in Goa, India. The workshop 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/.
On December 20th, 2019 Akraino community will participate in a partner event organized by Open Technology for Digital Transformation initiative in New Delhi, India
Launched 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 with a focus on engaging service providers and enterprises 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.
