This event is brought to you in collaboration with Open Infrastructure Foundation- Portland

Abstract:

The rapid standardization with Kubernetes as the defacto standard for orchestration of infrastructure clusters has led to aggressive moves by Industry players to capitalize on this operation technology innovation. While the infrastructure providers are looking to support carrier-grade cluster operations, hybrid-cloud based control plane has become the least common denominator for autoscaling and day-n life cycle management of Kubernetes services.

In this presentation, Prakash would focus on current trends fueling the Edge ecosystem touching upon open service broker APIs, the emergence of hybrid cloud edge service platform, intent-based edge breakout & user plane functions, etc. The topics covered extends across changes in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), application services using LTE/5G, infrastructure enhancements required to support carrier-grade cluster operations
