Akraino Releases 4 and 5 were made available in 2021, including K8s ready blueprints and deployments such as Public Cloud Edge Interface, AI Edge, 5G MEC System, Integrated Edge Cloud, Integrated Cloud Native blueprint families, Automotive, IoT, Metaverse Areas, and more. All released blueprints have passed a vulnerability scanning process implemented by Akraino's security subcommittee. In addition, Akraino has enhanced its API map, integrated upstream components, explored downstream labs, and approved new incubation blueprints including buffer at the edge, smart data transition for CPS, and CPS robotics. Two blueprints entered maturity stage in 2021: Connected Vehicle Blueprint and IEC Type 4: AR/VR oriented Edge Stack for Integrated Edge Cloud (IEC) Blueprint Family.
In November 2021 Akraino cautiously restarted a live meeting schedule with a hybrid event in Palo Alto. A more extensive technical meeting is planned for March 2022.

In the Year of Ox, Akraino received great contributions and passion from various regions and companies. Highlights included deployments, security, blueprint technical advancement, and adoption of our umbrella organization Linux Foundation's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative. In the Year of Tiger, I expect Akraino developers to move like tigers, seizing opportunities in robotics, metaverse, and more. Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
