This Downstream Lab 1 infrastructure is mainly running on Arm architecture and some on x86 architecture, future plans to expand to RISC-V, MIPS, and more x86 architecture.

Cooperation mode

Ⅰ   Organizational-level cooperation

1. About Open GCC
   

       In April 2016, the Green Computing Consortium (referred to as "Open GCC") was established by a number of global leading manufacturers,universities and scientific research institutions. It aims to promote the construction of an open and innovative green computing industry ecology and accelerate the development of green computing architecture in key applications such as big data, enterprise level computing and cloud computing. The Green Computing Industry Consortium aggregate the advantageous resources of the global computing industry chain, promotes the interaction between industry and academia, complies with the information technology development trend of open source software and open hardware, and actively carrier out software and hardware development of plural computing architectures to provide end-users with more flexible, easier to use and manages green energy-saving enterprise-level products.

2. Explanation
   

       Regarding the information we introduced in the PPT on October 21, 2021. for different application scenes such as big data, distributed storage, high-performance computing, and Web applications, plural computing architectures have their unique advantages. The Consortium will continue to expand green computing performance testing for more value scenes, provide important reference data for applications through platform and scheme evaluation, recommend users with more green computing products and solutions, and facilitate user selection and adaptation.

Ⅲ   Collaborative positioning

    At present, the main body of the Akraino community is mainly in North America,and it is recommended that the Akraino community set up a collaboration laboratory in China. Open GCC, as a platform for China's computing industry, can be used as a carrier platform for the Akraino community in China. After the specific cooperation relationship is determined, a cooperation statement and plan will be issued to the outside world.

Ⅳ  Business Implementation

    Open GCC has offices in Beijing and Shenzhen, China.

1. Business scopeof Beijing Center: ConsortiumChina Business + Talent Training Center + Industrial Research Center. Relying on its strong strength in scientific research equipment and talent team, the Consortium has built an open laboratory (English: GCC Open Lab), which mainly conducts performance testing, security testing and test evaluation of typical server scenes. Office address: No. 65, Fuxing Road, Haidian District, Beijing.
2. Business scopeof Shenzhen Center: ConsortiumInternational Business+Testing and Certification Center+Exhibition Center. The Shenzhen Center is about 1000 square meters, including 200 square meters of exhibition area. Representative exhibition activities can be held for value members.

    Based on the above，the on site exhibition hall is located in the Shenzhen Center, which will open the year-round display of the products and research results of important members and academic members. At present, the exhibition items are being settled in succession, and it is expected that they can be open to public in the second quarter of 2023. In order to better spread business information and the value of member units, the online exhibition hall is going to be set up by the Consortium will also be open to the public during this period,which will bring the visitor an all-round immersive experience. Office address: Floor 7, building 6 (B), Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Science Park,Shenzhen,China.

Ⅴ   Others

    The organization agrees to abide local lawsand the rules of the Linux Foundation, including open policies, supplier neutrality, and other rules listed on the Akraino regional community page.

The Blueprint Validation Framework offers a set of tools that can be used to test Akraino deployments on different layers (hardware, os, k8s, openstack, etc).

The framework provides tests at different layers of the stack, like hardware, operating system, cloud infrastructure, security, etc. Since the project is constantly evolving, the full list of available tests can be found in the projects repo, where the tests are located under their respective layer. Each layer has its own container image built by the validation project. The full list of images provided can be found in the project’s DockerHub repo.

If you are working on driver code, Vuls and Lynis are needed.

If you are developing container based application code, Vuls, Lynis and Kuber-Hunter are needed.

If you are developing VM based application code, Vuls (testing setup inside each VM) and Lynis (testing setup inside each VM) are needed.  

Vuls scan usually takes around 10 to 20 mins.

Kuber-Hunter usually takes about 10 mins. 

Lynis scan usually takes about 2 mins.
