A Microservices Approach to Edge Computing Platform Architecture

Explore a microservices approach to edge computing platform architecture in this 24-minute conference talk by Neal Oliver and Sindhura Gaddam from Intel, presented at a Linux Foundation event. Delve into cloud-native edge computing ("Edge-Native") and its new requirements, including separation of control and data/media plane, real-time processing, and strict low-latency requirements. Learn about the Open Network Edge Services Software (OpenNESS) platform architecture and its key building blocks, such as OVN and OVS-DPDK CNI. Discover essential microservices like Topology Manager, Node Feature Discovery (NFD), and Telemetry Aware Scheduler (TAS). Gain insights into 5G mobile network system architecture, OpenNESS integration to mobile networks, and example deployments for RAN and Core Network User Plane.
