|
|
|
Current features of APMEC are to:
|
|
|
|
- orchestrate the MEC services
|
|
|
|
- leverage MANO's API to allow the reuse of NF network services (currently use OpenStack Tacker - NFV Orchestration service) for MEC services
|
|
|
|
- support multi-MANO features that offer the scalability and improve resource utilization of MEC services.
|
|
|
|
- manage the life-cycle of MEC applications (creation, update, deletion)
|
|
|
|
- monitor MEC applications
|
|
|
|
- scale in/out MEC applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
On-going features:
|
|
|
|
- fast live migration in order to support mobility in MEC
|
|
|
|
- state management for the stateful MEC applications
|
|
|
|
- acceleration technologies like DPDK, VPP, FPGA,...
|
|
|
|
- container technologies like Docker/Kubernetes
|
