The Linux Foundation Akraino community will conduct a workshop on Wednesday, September 15 (Local time, GMT+2) online.
Registration Link: TBD
On September 15, 2021 (Local time, GMT+2) Akraino community will participate in a partner event on line.
Launched in 2018, and now part of the LF Edge umbrella, Akraino 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 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.

Speaker: Tina Tsou, Arm; MingXuan Li, China Unicom Title of Talk: EdgeFaaS for Open Edge Scenarios Abstract: It used to be the app store model to open up capabilities, but hardware vendors are always at the bottom. Provide a BSP or SDK for the operating system layer to call, and then encapsulate a PaaS layer to share. But computing network convergence devices are not the same, through the EdgeFAAS to the edge computing network fusion capabilities are open. We've used SONiC. Such converged computing devices will be deployed in large numbers in industrial parks, small data centers and home gateways. It has the ability of network access convergence and computing power scheduling. EdgeFAAS opens up the ability to edge scenarios. Bio: Tina Tsou is an Enterprise Architect at Arm, where she is responsible for designing and implementing robust strategies to establish first tier status for Arm architecture within open source communities and projects. In this role, Tina employs a comprehensive knowledge of relevant NFV/SDN collaborative open source initiatives, open source development tools, processes, build systems, packaging, continuous integration, and test methodologies. Recognized as a thought leader, she forges powerful partnerships with open source communities in support of multiple architectures, while prioritizing requirements for open source enablement in collaboration with Arm key stakeholders and relevant ecosystem partners. Tina also drives and empowers Arm’s Edge Computing Team. Currently, Tina is Chair of the Technical Steering Committee for Akraino. Prior to joining Arm, Tina excelled as the Digital Domain Expert for Connectivity at Philips Lighting, where she championed the company’s first NB-IoT solution, and facilitated the company’s transition from conventional lighting to LED and digital lighting technology. Additionally, she was employed by Huawei for 16 years in Technical Lead and Principal Engineer roles, where she led network architecture design, new product definition, product marketing strategy, and technology research—and developed the company’s first IPv6 network migration professional service product. Tina has been awarded 100+ patents and 15 IETF RFCs. She earned her Bachelor of Computer Science degree from Xi’an University of Architecture and Technologies in China. Li Mingxuan: Master, senior member of IEEE, senior member of Chinese Institute of Electronics, senior engineer of China Unicom Research Institute, engaged in technology research and development and standard tracking work; main research directions are big data technology, cloud computing technology, business platform technology and IT support system technology ; Participate in the meetings of CCSA, GSMA, ITU and other domestic and foreign standards organizations. |
