OpenStack for EDGE computing
2 likes518 views
This document discusses using OpenStack for edge infrastructure and carrier-grade performance. OpenStack is open-source software that manages compute, storage, and networking resources across a datacenter. Edge computing optimizes applications by moving some portion away from central nodes to the edge of the network, closer to end users. OpenStack is well-suited for edge computing due to its ability to deploy minimal services efficiently at the edge while providing robust support for various technologies. Carrier-grade systems refer to extremely reliable systems tested for high availability, with fast fault recovery. StarlingX is an open-source edge cloud software stack based on Wind River Titanium Cloud that incorporates OpenStack, KVM/QEMU, Ceph, DPDK, and
OpenStack for EDGE computing
- 1. OPENSTACK FOR EDGE INFRASTRUCTURE, A CLOUD WITH CARRIER GRADE PERFORMANCE. HAZZIM ANAYA
- 2. OPENSTACK PROJECT • Open source software for creating private and public clouds. • OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API, and works with popular enterprise and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure.
- 3. EDGE COMPUTING Edge computing is a method of optimizing applications or cloud computing systems by taking some portion of an application, its data, or services away from one or more central nodes (the "core") to the other logical extreme (the "edge") of the Internet which makes contact with the physical world or end users.
- 4. OPENSTACK & EDGE • Why is OpenStack ideal for edge computing? • OpenStack provides fundamental infrastructure building blocks that can be deployed anywhere, including the edge of the network. The flexible and modular nature of OpenStack means you can efficiently run the minimal services required at the edge, yet provide robust support for bare metal, container technologies and virtual machines.
- 5. CARRIER GRADE? A "carrier grade" or "carrier class" refers to a system, or a hardware or software component that is extremely reliable, well tested and proven in its capabilities. Carrier grade systems are tested and engineered to meet or exceed "five nines" high availability standards, and provide very fast fault recovery through redundancy (normally less than 50 milliseconds).
- 6. CARRIER GRADE NETWORK? • Carrier-grade is a term for public network telecommunications products that require up to 5 nines or 6 nines (or 99.999 to 99.9999 percent) availability.
- 7. CARRIER GRADE • which translate to downtime per year of: • 99.999 = 5 minutes offline • 99.9999 = 30 seconds offline
- 8. WINDRIVER TITANIUM CLOUD • The Titanium Cloud product portfolio solves that problem by providing application-ready software platforms that run virtualized applications and services with high reliability and is built to support the intensive performance, reliability, and security requirements of the world’s most demanding computing and communications networks.
- 10. STARLINGX PROJECT. • StarlingX is a fully featured and high performance Edge Cloud software stack that is based on the Wind River Titanium Cloud R5 product. Intel and Wind River have jointly open sourced this software and we invite you to download, build, install, and run it.

- 12. PROJECTS INVOLVED • What projects are required to meet the requirements to be carrier grade?
- 13. OPENSTACK • OpenStack is the main project behind StarlingX, in this case is highly tied to CentOS, but there is a work in progress to decouple StarlingX software stack and support Ubuntu and ClearLinux.
- 14. KVM/QEMU • QEMU can make use of KVM when running a target architecture that is the same as the host architecture. For instance, when running qemu- system-x86 on an x86 compatible processor, you can take advantage of the KVM acceleration - giving you benefit for your host and your guest system.
- 15. CEPH • Carrier grade storage cluster. • The high scalability and performance, makes CEPH the perfect storage backend for StarlingX cloud.
- 16. DPDK • Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) greatly boosts packet processing performance and throughput, allowing more time for data plane applications. • DPDK can improve packet processing performance by up to ten times.
- 17. OPENVSWITCH (OVS) • Open vSwitch is a software implementation of a virtual multilayer network switch, designed to enable effective network automation through programmatic extensions. • Open vSwitch can operate both as a software-based network switch running within a virtual machine (VM) hypervisor, and as the control stack for dedicated switching hardware
- 18. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES • Small-cell services for stadiums and other high-density locations: By deploying applications hosted at the network edge (i.e., in the stadium itself), stadium owners and service providers can offer a wealth of integrated services that include real-time delivery of personalized content to fans’ devices
- 19. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES • Augmented reality, virtual reality, and tactile Internet applications: These applications are just not viable without superfast response times, local image analytics, and deterministic, low-latency communications.
- 20. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES • Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication: Whether the use case is vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-infrastructure, it requires high bandwidth, low latency, guaranteed availability, and robust security—performance requirements that are impossible to meet with a centralized, cloud-hosted compute model.
- 21. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES • Mobile HD video and premium TV with end-to-end quality of experience (QoE): Content providers have learned the hard way that video quality is critical for subscriber retention: Studies show that a one-second rebuffering event during a 10-minute premium service clip causes a 43% drop in user engagement.
- 22. VNF’S • Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) • In a Network Functions Virtualization architecture, a virtualized network function, or VNF, is responsible for handling specific network functions that run in one or more virtual machines on top of the hardware networking infrastructure, which can include routers, switches, servers, cloud computing systems and more.
- 23. OSS/BSS
- 24. GLOSSARY • OSS/BSS • OSS/BSS, in telecommunications, stands for operations support system/business support system. The two systems, operated together by telecommunications service providers, are used to support a range of telecommunication services.
- 25. GLOSSARY • vEPC • A virtualized evolved packet core (vEPC) is a mobile-core network system that accommodates LTE access systems. Powered by a carrier-grade virtualization platform and Software- Defined Networking (SDN) technology, EPC optimizes mobile operators' TCO and service quality. • vCPE • Virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) is a way to deliver network services such as routing, firewall security and virtual private network connectivity to enterprises by using software rather than dedicated hardware devices.
