From YouTube: OpenShift Commons Briefing #95: OpenShift & Multi-access Edge Computing with Hyde Sugiyama

Description

Our guest speaker for this briefing was Hyde Sugiyama, Senior Principal Technologist, Telecom & NFV in Red Hat’s APAC Office of Technology. He discussed Edge PaaS (RHOCP) running on RHOSP(NFV platform), which is a new collaboration effort amongst Telcos in APAC.

This briefing covers OpenShift & Multi-access Edge Computing for a number of cross-industry use cases ranging from IoT Robotics, Smart City, to Connected Car Network.

MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) is deployed across distributed edge network nodes rather than deployed at a centralized big data center. To run many real-time value-added service applications for each industry on MEC servers in edge network nodes where rack space is limited, we need high-density virtualization such as container and cloud-native agile solutions across multicentral offices as a virtual data center.

The container virtualization technology orchestrated by Kubernetes(K8s)/OpenShift Container Platform is evolving by the cloud industry while OpenStack becomes the de-facto NFV platform of the Telecom carrier industry. We also discuss an MEC PoC for Edge PaaS at a telecom carrier.

This session will discuss MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) deployment architectures for Edge PaaS and its challenges by adapting OpenShift Container Platform, SDN technology and Switch fabric along with OpenStack NFV edge platform infrastructure across virtual central offices.
