Open Source Summit Japan

MEC(Multi-access Edge Computing) will be deployed at each distributed edge network node rather than deploy at centralized big datacenter. To run many Value Added Service applications on MEC servers in edge network nodes that rack space is limited, we need high density virtualization and cloud-native agile solution.
The container virtualization technology orchestrated by Kubernetes is evolving by the cloud industry while OpenStack becomes the de-facto NFV platform of the Telecom carrier industry.
OpenShift container platform has been designed based on Docker and Kubernetes concept and it can run on OpenStack NFV platform, VMWare, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
This session will discuss MEC(Multi-access Edge Computing) deployment architectures and its challenges by adapting OpenShift Container Platform, SDN technology and Switch fabric for edge platform infrastructure.
