EMCO: Bring Akraino/ICN-SDEWAN into EMCO

SDEWAN Overview gave us an excellent overview of how an Edge enhanced SD-WAN addresses special needs for the Edge

• EMCO functionality does not overlap with what ROSA provides. ROSA CLI tool is used to deploy EMCO on ROSA cluster, and EMCO is used to deploy NFs (free5gc), using intent based orchestration. 

• Policy-driven closed loop can be implemented by integrating OPA (as PDP) and Workflow Engine (Temporal) or other actors like CDS (as PEP). 

See entry in ONAP+5G SBP Project section above

The Huawei team took the initiative on their own to demo how ONAP can use EMCO in tandem.

Review of the Temporal Workflow Engine added to EMCO

Use Case of UE consuming a MEC Service, while moving across MEC host service areas, requiring a relocation of the service instance across clusters

Live Demo

Future plans to integrate with free5GC + 5GRAN simulator to showcase a more real world use case scenario. 

This is an EMCO Ecosystem POC repo published from the EMCO wiki. 

An overview of how the EMCO GUI supports Admin and separate Tenant privilege levels with Role-based Access support. 

A demo was provided to demonstrate how different client logins had different views and different access rights. 

Overview of EMCO integration with the GitOps approach to cluster management and resource sync. 

• Provides automated sync with Git Repo, better security, consistency and auditing of history

Walked through EMCO support for Fluxv1 and planned v2 support, Azure Arc plug-in support in EMCO 22.03 and how Google Anthos support will be added in 22.06 coming up. 

Automated GitOps support provides automated sync with Git Repo, for better security, consistency and auditing of history
When clusters register with EMCO, the correct GitOPs plugin can be instantiated in the EMCO Rsync framework. 

22.06 adds better Google Anthos support and other stability and feature enhancements

Any cluster application LCM solution needs a sold Disaster Recovery solution. Aarna Networks has selected Velero solution to integrate with AMCOP commercial product based on EMCO. 

An overview and demo of Phase I manual Backup and Restore was showcased, instantiating a running cluster, creating a Velero Backup, deleting the cluster to simulate a DIsaster event, and restoring it for continued operation. 

Phase II will add a more complete integration with EMCO GUI, automating and scheduling backups, w/ support for more storage locations other then the AWS example today. 

Phase III will allow deployments of the Velero solution to target clusters and bundle the Velero solution with EMCO installations. 

Using EMCO, developers can deploy and manage AnyLog instances at the edge from a single point and using the AnyLog Network, manage and view the distributed edge data from a single point.

EMCO-UI demonstrated as a viable manner of deploying composite apps in EMCO, in this case AnyLog components.

Showed the orchestration of QCT's 5GC functions on multiple k8s clusters, using EMCO.

The ability to scale-out 5GC and UPF elements into more clusters (via EMCO) as an action automatically taken by the AF component, based on analytics. This was demonstrated.

Showed possibilities in creating closed-loop between EMCO, 5GC and NWDAF. 

(this seems to have been pasted in the wrong section: "Integration with Prometheus and ONAP CDS was shown.")

EMCO-UI again demonstrated as a viable method of deploying composite apps.

Srini shared over the bridge the advantages of using the EMCO ecosystem's KNCC and KNRC when paired with 5GC and to automate configuration: https://gitlab.com/project-emco/ecosystem/k8sappconfig

Temporal is the simple, scalable open source way to write and run reliable cloud applications.

In EMCO we are introducing support for the Temporal workflow engine starting with the 22.06 release.

Temporal workflow engine has recently been added to EMCO in order to trigger actions that execute in a multitude of possible different hook points.

With EMCO we can register workflows and define the activities that need to take place.

In 22.06 the basic framework will be available, with additional improvements expected in the next release.

Robust face recognition use case deployed at the edge using EMCO.

The face recognition app was show working with EMCO, orchestrating the multiple inter-related microservices as a composite app.

EMCO was able to successfully instantiate the app over the K8s clusters without any manual intervention to the clusters.

EMCO-UI was once again shown as the preferred way of interacting with EMCO for deploying workloads/use cases.

Review of proposed chapter updates

Discussion of reference granularity of RA-2 feature to conformance tests

Field trials: Importance of and inclusion of Service providers and hyperscalers   

• RA2 traceability: Cross referencing RA2 requirements and RC2 tests is important should continue, Possible issue between release management and RC2 is in the milestone definitions
• Anuket Assured vs CNF Conformance: CNF suppliers see having both the CNCF CNF Conformance and the Anuket Assured for CNF-s wasted effort.  In the future we should think about the validity of Anuket Assured workload testing in the light of CNCF CNF Conformance.
• Field trials: Would drive adoption, If anyone is interested in field trails please notify Scot Steele
• Discussion:  if the single process type requirement in the CNCF CNF Conformance test is a valid one in an RC2 meeting
