LF Edge is an open source project of Linux Foundation, which includes several famous edge projects, such as Akraino, EdgeX, Home Edge, EVE and so on. In this speech, Arpit will introduce the latest open source progress, roadmap, strategy and new technologies of LF Edge.

Review of EdgeX China Challenge 2020; Introduction to the schedule and rules of EdgeX China Challenge 2021

With the rapid increase in the number of Internet intelligent devices, with the advent of 5G and Internet of Things era, the traditional centralized storage and computing mode of cloud computing center can no longer meet the needs of terminal devices for timeliness, capacity and computing power. It will be an important development trend of cloud computing to extend business to the edge and carry out unified delivery, operation and control through the center. But extending AI to the edge faces more and more complex problems than traditional AI. Here, the topic will introduce how Baidu AI Cloud can solve the business deployment problem in AI era by combining edge computing, cloud native and AI, so that AI can quickly implement in various industries.

EMQ X Kuiper is an open source lightweight Internet of Things edge data analysis and streaming software, which can run on various edge devices with limited resources. KubeEdge is an open source system that extends native containerized application orchestration capabilities to edge hosts. This presentation will introduce how to use KubeEdge's application orchestration capabilities and Kuiper's streaming data analysis capabilities, covering Kuiper data ETL (extraction, transformation and loading), sorting, grouping, aggregation, SQL functions and binary data processing. At the same time, it will also introduce the expansion of audio and video AI analysis, as well as the time window required for Internet of Things analysis and other functions. Finally, we will introduce KubeEdge Cloud Collaboration Channel and how users can manage analysis logic in the cloud and adapt to agile business requirements.

When applying edge computing to business scenarios in power industry, we often encounter problems such as heterogeneous devices, protocol mismatching, instantaneity and closed-loop data. How to solve these problems efficiently and reasonably is an important assessment standard for a solution to truly practice. For a wide range of heterogeneous devices and protocols, how to meet various requirements such as numerical calculation, AI inference and remote operation? When solving these problems, what open source solutions are valuable, and how to make these solutions better match the needs of scenarios? Starting from the actual power scene, we will introduce how to use edge computing technology and EdgeX Foundry open source architecture software to realize the technology implementation in the power scene.

Since its inception, Project Baetyl has been committed to seamlessly expanding applications and capabilities on the cloud to the edge and realizing ubiquitous computing. Internet of Things, cloud and artificial intelligence are developing rapidly. Although they have made a lot of applications and achievements, they are still relatively independent in ecosystem and lack of synergy. Baetyl combines the three ecosystems organically through cooperation with EdgeX Foundry, Kubernetes and PaddlePaddle, helping developers to bring applications into a intelligent digital world.

As a project of Edge Sub-foundation of Linux Foundation, Open Horizon joined the foundation in April 2020, constantly improving the influence of technology and community/customers, and officially announced the graduation from At Large (Stage 1) to Growth (Stage 2) in March this year. Open Horizon provides a policy-based, more autonomous and automated way to remotely deploy and manage containerized edge applications and related machine learning modules, taking into account the instability and security of the network and the requirements for the deployment and management of more than 10,000 large-scale edge device nodes. In addition to briefly introducing the main design ideas and capabilities of Open Horizon and the latest situation of community development, this topic will also share the cooperation between Open Horizon and other Linux Foundation open source projects, as well as the application cases in related industries.

Facing the current POC projects up to 6000+ in the 5G2B market, there are very few that can really be replicated. The core reason is the difference between industry scene/language and ICT technology. At the same time, there is no unified platform to get through, and it is impossible to accumulate innovation achievements. EdgeGallery's goal is to build a unified edge computing platform in the industry, support industry customer innovation, gather application ecosystems, and promote the development and maturity of the industry.

With the development of edge computing, a lot of open source projects for edge computing have emerged. For example, EdgeX, Kubeedge, StarlingX, Superedge, Baetyl, but these edge computing projects have encountered some challenges in solving the current practical problems. This speech starts from solving the practical problems of users, and looks at what kind of technology stack is needed on the edge side to support different user scenarios and needs, and how ThunderSoft solves these problems.

The speech will share China Mobile's exploration work in the field of 5G network construction and edge computing, introduce the best practice cases of China Mobile's 5G edge computing in 2C/2B to global partners, and share the latest progress, practice and thinking on the future development of 5G edge computing open source work.

Open Network Edge Service Software is an open source MEC software toolkit based on Intel hardware and platform technology, which can implement a highly optimized and high-performance edge platform across heterogeneous networks. It contains several building blocks, such as EPA platform awareness, 5G control management, high-performance network CNI plug-in and so on. This time, the speech introduces OpenNESS EMCO, an Edge Multiple Cloud Orchestrator, which is a Kubernetes-based cross-regional distributed application orchestrator. EMCO runs at a higher level than Kubernetes and interacts with multiple edges and clouds that run Kubernetes. EMCO's primary goal is to automate the deployment of applications and services across multiple clusters. It acts as a central coordinator for managing edge application services and networks across geographically distributed edge clusters.

With the development of 5G and Internet of Things technology, a large number of intelligent terminals, applications and data are located at the edge of the network. Tencent WeMake Industrial Internet platform uses SuperEdge edge container technology to create a safe and efficient industrial Internet solution, which is based on the platform's powerful data, computing power, algorithm and connectivity capabilities, and superimposed with a large number of industrial Know-how, mechanism models and OT technologies to ensure the reliability and security of core resources such as enterprise applications and data. This topic will share practices and explorations of the development path based on the combination of cloud native and edge computing technology, and verifying the great potential and development space of cloud native technology in the field of edge computing. At the same time, it will also share the problems and challenges encountered in practice, as well as the prospect of WEMAKE in the field of edge computing.
