OpenStack Foundation roept StarlingX uit tot Top-Level project

Amsterdam -15 juni 2020 - De OpenStack Foundation (OSF) heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat het open-sourceproject StarlingX is aangemerkt als een open-infrastructuurproject van topniveau dat door de OSF wordt ondersteund.StarlingX biedt een inzetbaar, schaalbaar en zeer betrouwbaar edge infrastructure softwareplatform om mission critical edge clouds te bouwen. Getest en uitgebracht als een complete stack, maakt StarlingX gebruik van componenten van andere open source projecten zoals Ceph, Linux, KVM, OpenStack en Kubernetes en vult deze aan met nieuwe diensten zoals configuratie en fault management. De StarlingX-community heeft de oplossing geoptimaliseerd voor beveiliging, ultra-lage latency, extreem hoge service uptime en gestroomlijnde werking van edge en IoT use cases.

StarlingX Confirmed as Top-Level Open Stack Foundation Project

StarlingX leverages open source projects such as Ceph, Linux, KVM, OpenStack and Kubernetes to provide a scalable, reliable edge and IoT cloud platform for demanding networks

The OpenStack Foundation (OSF) board of directors announced today that open source project StarlingX has been confirmed as a top-level open infrastructure project supported by the OSF.

StarlingX provides a deployment-ready, scalable and highly reliable edge infrastructure software platform to build mission critical edge clouds. Tested and released as a complete stack, StarlingX leverages components of other open source projects such as Ceph, Linux, KVM, OpenStack and Kubernetes, complementing them with new services such as configuration and fault management. The StarlingX community has optimized the solution for security, ultra-low latency, extremely high service uptime, and streamlined operation of edge and IoT use cases.

Applications for StarlingX include the far edge or last mile and suchuse casesas on-premise clouds in factories, Industrial IoT, autonomous vehicles and other transportation-based IoT applications, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN), 5G, smart buildings and cities, augmented and virtual reality, high-definition media content delivery, surveillance, healthcare imaging, and universal customer premise equipment (uCPE).Electronic Commerce and Electronic Payment National Engineering Laboratory of China UnionPayhas researched a secured edge infrastructure, powered by StarlingX, for a contactless payment use case at the edge.

Confirmationby the OSF conveys recognition of a project’s success in meeting the goals of the pilot process and a commitment from the OSF to continuesupporting the project. When evaluating a pilot project for confirmation, the OSF Board of Directors considers, among other factors, whether the project can demonstrate the following:

a strategic focus aligned with that of the OSF and its open infrastructure missionwell-defined governance proceduresa commitment to technical best practices and open collaboration, especially as conveyed by the principles of theFour Opensan actively engaged ecosystem of developers and users that demonstrates a growing, healthy and diverse community.

“The StarlingX community has made great progress in the last two years, not only in building great open source software but also in building a productive and diverse community of contributors,” said Ildiko Vancsa, ecosystem technical lead, OpenStack Foundation. “The core platform for low latency and high performance applications has been enhanced with a container-based, distributed cloud architecture, secure booting, TPM device enablement, certificate management and container isolation. StarlingX 4.0, slated for release later this year, will feature enhancements such as support for Kata Containers as a container runtime, integration of the Ussuri version of OpenStack, and containerization of the remaining platform services.”

StarlingX became an OSF pilot project in May 2018, and since then:

The initial code base was contributed by Intel and Wind River System. Since then, the project has garnered 7,108 commits from 211 authors, including developers representing 99Cloud, FiberHome, Intel, the OpenStack Foundation, China UnionPay and Wind River, among others.China UnionPay, China Unicom, and T-Systems have become early adopters of the software.The StarlingX community has delivered three software releases and is actively collaborating with several other groups such as the OSF Edge Computing Group, ONAP, Akraino and more.The community is actively working towards the 4.0 release of StarlingX in Q3 2020.

Coming Soon: OpenDev Event Series
The OSF is hosting a virtual OpenDev event series to facilitate discussion among the open infrastructure community about how to address current challenges in cloud infrastructure. The three-part series kicks off on June 29 with the following agenda:

Large-scale Usage of Open Infrastructure Software — June 29 - July 1Hardware Automation — July 20 - 22Containers in Production — August 10 - 12

Registration for the OpenDev virtual event series is now open! Participants can gather more information, and sign up atopenstack.org/events/opendev-2020/.
