Open Source Possibilities for 5G Edge Computing Deployment
2 likes260 views
This document discusses open source possibilities for 5G edge computing deployment using OpenStack NFV, OpenShift edge container engine, and Ceph data lake. It outlines a shift from centralized core data centers to decentralized edge and core architectures with geo-replicated container registries. This allows distributing virtualized network functions (VNFs) and containerized network functions (CNFs) across the edge and core. It also discusses using the telco edge to access technologies on an OpenStack NFV platform to bring user traffic into cloud-native apps in Kubernetes at the edge. Finally, it provides examples of potential 5G and multi-access edge computing use cases and discusses challenges for communication service providers in managing this new infrastructure.

- 17. Summary • Cloud Native and Carrier infrastructure environment for 5G – Kubernetes ... fast becoming de-facto master – VNF workload and Container workload will co-exist – Heterogeneous computing ... CPU based, GPU based and FPGA based • Need to develop Edge and Core de-centralization architecture – Container registry for Geo replication from Central DC to Edge DC – Ceph data lake • Telco Edge needs access technologies(VNFs, etc) on OpenStack NFV platform for bringing user traffic into cloud native apps in Kubernetes • Openshift meets B2B2X 17
