The Provider Access Edge blueprint aims to provide a platform for running NFV (e.g. vRAN, vBNG, SEBA) and MEC (e.g. MobileEdgeX) workloads on a small footprint, self-managing Kubernetes-on-bare metal cluster. The release 4 blueprint supports managing a whole edge stack only using Kubernetes resource configs (manifests). Edge stacks created with this blueprint can run both containerised and VM-based workloads (via KubeVirt) on a common platform. Release 4 also includes multi-network support (via Multus). Applications on top of this platform are managed via the Operator Framework.
In Release 4, we worked on upgrading the existing components and stabilizing the platform, plus replacing the old CentOS RT worker nodes by the native support of CoreOS, the base operating system for our Kubernetes distribution: OpenShift.
