Edge Computing, and more generally geographically distributed edge computing, presents a number of new challenges for cloud management operations. In this session, we will discuss learnings from our investigations in the area of Distributed Edge Computing. We will review requirements and describe a proposed system model; discussing topics such as centralized management versus edge autonomy and the need for both. We will also discuss some key challenges and solution options for areas of sub-cloud installation, shared centralized OpenStack Services, configuration synchronization strategies across sub-clouds for various OpenStack components as well as approaches for dealing with software management of OpenStack software running on 100s of distributed OpenStack nodes.
