Overview/Scope

This group will address the needs of an edge automation environment to satisfy following 

  • Providing contextual information to application services after gathering information from 5G network functions.
  • Traffic  steering to the right edge applications (e.g  Programming UE classifier of UPF)
  • Scaling needs 
  • Securing confidential information/keys/secrets and detecting any software tampering.
  • Optimal placing of edge applications. For example placing edge applications in close proximity of end users.
  • Supporting various application types (VMs and containers)
  • Performance determinism and high throughput edge 
  • Deploying IOT specific infrastructure software in edges.

This group will study the needs of edges,  identify ONAP role,  identify gaps in ONAP to satisfy above needs and propose solutions to address the gaps.

Few examples:  on scaling -   OOM based scaling may not be good enough and  there may be a need to  offload some ONAP functionality to regional level as the target number of edge clouds could be in tens of thousands.   Also, to reduce amount of data to central ONAP services for analytics,  there is a need for offloading DCAE functions to regional level, which could involve  identifying real time data sources, collecting and analyzing the data and disseminating output data to central ONAP function.  Controlling fabric (L2/L3 switches in edge-clouds and WAN links) is another function that may require offloading some ONAP SDNC functions to regional sites.
