This document covers both Integrated Edge Cloud Type 1 & 2.
This document provides the release notes for IEC Blue Print in Akraino. IEC (Integrated Edge Cloud) is a platform that will enable new functionalities and business models on the network edge. The benefits of running applications on the network edge are - Better latencies for end users - Less load on network since more data can be processed locally - Fully utilize the computation power of the edge devices.
The platform is typically available for both x86 and aarch64 architectures, and IEC type1 with small deployment now just support aarch64 platform. IEC is designed to work with multiple edge use-cases.
