Welcome to the SDxCentral Webinar Relevant Industries Who Should Attend? Key Takeaways
• Telecom Equipment
• Network Architects
• Network Engineers
• Including cloud native as part of your strategy will help to
“future proof” your networks, keeping them from becoming
obsolete in an environment where the pace of change in
technology is ever increasing.
• Deploying a container strategy that spans from the core to
the edge and into devices is very different than deploying in
a data center. Make sure you understand the requirements
by working with someone like Wind River who has decades
of experience deploying trusted solutions in demanding
environments.
• Bare metal, containers, VMs – there are many ways to get
the job done and they aren’t all mutually exclusive. It is
possible to deploy a hybrid strategy that enables you to get
the most benefit depending on the circumstances.

WHAT IS “CLOUD NATIVE”
Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices; packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization
“Cloud Native” technologies include containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure and declarative APIs that allow deployment in cloud environments through loosely coupled and automated systems

BENEFITS OF CLOUD NATIVE
Enabling developers to design & test once, deploy everywhere
Speed: containers are far more lightweight than VMs, they
start up much faster and use much less memory compared to
booting an entire OS
Don’t care about specific workloads
Deploy applications quickly, easily and
consistently, regardless of the target architecture
Handle deployment, monitoring, lifecycle

CHALLENGES CUSTOMERS FACE AT THE EDGE
1. Complexity: Navigating complex

KUBERNETES
Kubevirt
CNCF
OverC
2. Diversity: Bridging gap from IT to OT where one size does not fit all
including ZTP, disparate architectures and SW platforms
4. Security and performance of containers in Edge applications
3. Cost: 1000s or more deployed edge servers/devices increases the HW costs
5x or more for some use cases; solutions with 3+ controllers isn’t feasible

#1: “CONTAINERS IN A VM” ARCHITECTURE
Containers are hosted by VMs
PROS:
including containers in a VM
– Live migration, monitoring & fault recovery
– Scaling of and load balancing across
CONS:
End User Remote Connection to Container App
Create Container
#2: BARE METAL CONTAINERS IN A VM ARCHITECTURE
Provides a bare metal environment within OpenStack (with Ironic)
PROS:
End User Remote Connection to Container App
Create Container Applications
Containerize OpenStack
OpenStack Helm managing the lifecycle of
the OpenStack cluster
citizens
needed for legacy VMs
OpenStack end user applications

SUMMARY
Operational complexity is the biggest initial challenge for distributed edge cloud deployments
Distributed edge cloud solutions should be designed to support centralized management, scalability, edge cloud autonomy and zero touch provisioning
Edge clouds build on Cloud Native standards are independent of segment, infrastructure, and platform software
Many open source and consortia exist to address the requirements of containers and Edge clouds
