Edge computing is all about implementing compute, storage & networking to enable processing closer to data-generating connected devices. There are a few definitions that emerged with the adopters of edge in different architectures.

IDC Report “Telecommunication Service Provider Practices to Maximize Cloud Service Provider Partnerships to Enable the Future of Connectivity”
AWS and IDC have published a research report on telco collaboration with hyperscalers and cloud service providers as they evolve into 5G and MEC edge applications.I thought it would be helpful to highlight this report. It also highlights Swisscom, an AWS customer and their 5G journey from a CSP to a “cloud first” Telco.

Expanding your edge applications? Consider how orchestration and monitoring help resilience
Small-scale enterprises and organizations have started evaluating and implementing edge architectures due to the need to support innovative use cases to increase efficiency and/or enhance their customer experience. But there is still a long way to go for enterprise edge deployments as there are more challenges in large-scale distributed computing

S&P Global & 451 Research – “The ‘Cloudification’ of Telcos Presents Major Opportunities for Cloud Services”
Those who pay attention and follow the 5G space have probably noticed the phenomenon of Operators moving their infrastructure over to the cloud providers.

At AWS, I lead the global container practice for two key verticals – Telcos and M&E (Media and Entertainment). My group spends a lot of our time being customer-focused and working with customers & partners on a daily basis to understand trends, use cases, and business goals.

As service providers begin to roll out 5G POCs and initial deployments, there is no question that these cloud native platforms will be huge Capex and Opex investments on their part. These platforms should be able to handle diverse workloads such as telco, edge and enterprise applications. They must be efficient as well as robust from an operational standpoint. They must also serve the operator well for years. While it is never my intention to be hyperbolic or combative, the question is if Openstack is a viable 5G platform – when compared with hyperscaler clouds.
