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
1) Cooperation at the organizational level;
Hin Yang from LF APAC team is working with OpenGCC and ECC locally. They are like a downstream end user who wants to implement a few Akraino blueprints in their physical lab, and foster the blueprints adoption and deployment to their connected hundreds of industrial customers.
Akraino needs to start cooperation after TSC has made a report and decision is passed, and OpenGCC (http://en.opengcc.org/) and ECC (http://en.ecconsortium.org/) has provided introduction materials in advance. ECC is secondary organization under OpenGCC.
2) Cooperative positioning
Currently, Akraino's main body of carrier platform should be mainly in North America. It is recommended that Akraino set up a branch in China. GCC/ECC, as a platform for China's computing industry, can be used as a carrier platform for Akraino branches to land in China. After the specific cooperation relationship, the cooperation statement and plan will be released to the outside world.
3) Business implementation
Shenzhen GCC laboratory, exhibition hall and office environment (over 1,000 m²) will be put into use at the end of November. The Akraino open source project can be deployed to the GCC laboratory and displayed in the exhibition hall. In particular, the global projects planned to be promoted in China in the future are not limited to projects that Chinese companies will focus on in Akraino, such as IEC Type5, Baidu AI Edge, Tencent 5G MEC, and China Mobile IEC Type3. Akraino's full set of tools and software can also be used by this laboratory to provide Akraino members in China to carry out open source development, testing and other activities.
4) Industry promotion;
Blueprint is an edge computing integrated software package for various industries, which can be displayed and promoted with the help of GCC/ECC member base and various conferences and other activities.
5) Ability and personnel
Technical personnel skilled in the Akraino platform and blueprint can be trained to support Akraino's landing operations and technical support in China.
Blueprint Landing Plans
Member company of Akraino China office will adopt and/or deploy these blueprints.

Products implementing the blueprint:
PCEI can be installed/enabled with Edge Multi-Cluster Orchestrator and accessible on common hardware and network environment.
PCEI enabler relieves users form troubles of API interoperability including API definition, API gateway functions (AAA, policy, security) and providing a secure, controllable, tracable, scalable and measureabler way to access the APIs from diverse public edge cloud service providers. So far, PCEI has already finished these follwing onboarding and deployment of cloud natvie Public Cloud Edge (PCE) Apps: Deploying Azure IoT Edge with PCEI and Deploying AWS GreenGrassCore with PCEI, and a 3rd-Party Edge (3PE) App: ETSI MEC Location API App. We hope to collaberate with Teclos and hyperscalers in China to test the end-to-end operation of the Apps on their edge infrastructure: operator`s edge infrastructure or public Clouds (Alibaba cloud or Tencent cloud).

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.
