apmec
This project aims at building an automated provisioning framework for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) based on OpenStack platform.
Current features of APMEC are to:
-
orchestrate the MEC services
-
leverage MANO's API to allow the reuse of NF network services (currently use OpenStack Tacker - NFV Orchestration service) for MEC services
-
support multi-MANO features that offer the scalability and improve resource utilization of MEC services.
-
manage the life-cycle of MEC applications (creation, update, deletion)
-
monitor MEC applications
-
scale in/out MEC applications
On-going features:
-
fast live migration in order to support mobility in MEC
-
state management for the stateful MEC applications
-
acceleration technologies like DPDK, VPP, FPGA,...
-
container technologies like Docker/Kubernetes
