Lightning Talk: Tiny Edge Sites, Big Challenges, Elevated Open Infrastructure Solutions - Ildiko Vancsa, Open Infrastructure Foundation

Edge computing has reached the stage where more and more use case are running in production in various industry segments, including telecommunications. These deployments are putting high demands on infrastructures that need to operate on a massive scale in a geographically distributed fashion, which results in innovative but still complex solutions. This talk will highlight emerging edge use cases to introduce requirements that projects, such as Kubernetes need to deliver to succeed, such as addressing complexity through automation or using protocols to support mission-critical applications. The presentation will introduce an open source edge cloud solution, called StarlingX, that is running in production at large telecom operators. The key component of the project is Kubernetes while it also integrates further components from the CNCF ecosystem. The session will show how StarlingX has enhanced Kubernetes further by adding support for technologies such as Precision Time Protocol and more to fulfill of the high demands of 5G and O-RAN.
