Mobile Edge Programmability for AI AR VR Applications

Mobile Edge Programmability for AI / AR / VR Applications

Background We are building and empowering a community of application creators, device makers, network operators, hyperscale cloud providers, system integrators and policy makers to capitalize on edge capabilities and monetize edge assets.

Motivations • Programmable SW Defined Fabric to control the life of packets going to application containers. • Low cost per byte for compute cycles, I/O and storage • Enable high performance on commodity hardware • Slice Traffic to offer certain SLAs • Embedded Security

Blueprint Value • Programmability: Programmable model for fabric| host| VM| container • Network slicing programming end to end for SLA contracts per tenant

Lifecycle Management for Distributed Applications • Configuration and deployment: Cloudlet resource manager is single point of configuration and is capable to end Cloudlet provisioning from apps to connectivity to external world. It is the orchestrator for Kubernetes cluster and containers based on developers needs. Tungsten Fabric controller is embedded within CRM • Monitoring: Mobiledge. X Console supports native Kubernetes monitoring solution Prometheus which collects key stats and dash board visualizes the metric thus collected. • Scaling: CRM launches cluster and containers within based on declarative configuration by developer but elasticity to scale up and down based on stress is built in its logic. 11
