Hi StarlingX Community, I’m reaching out to you with a quick update. I was on the OCP Edge monthly call today, and discussed taking next steps to explore collaboration opportunities between the two communities. The OCP Edge contributors are looking into giving a presentation at one of the upcoming StarlingX TSC & Community calls. They are still working on identifying what topics to cover and who will deliver the presentation and participate in the call. I will get back with updates when they have a preferred date to join the community call. It also came up on the OCP Edge call today that it would be great to have some information about how StarlingX is used in 5G deployments, as that is a common ground between the two groups. Contributors shared a whitepaper[1] that describes the use of OCP hardware in that scenario. Do we have any similar material to point them to? Or, would it be possible to build a case study to share with them? Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó [1] https://www.opencompute.org/documents/open-edge-use-case-cloud-ran-white-pap... ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

Hi StarlingX Community,
I’m surfacing this thread back on top, with focusing on questions that came up during my presentation at the OCP Edge subgroup call.
The OCP Edge community was curious about the following:
* Is StarlingX supporting or looking into Terraform (now OpenTofu)? * Redfish and sensor support in StarlingX ~ What is supported in the platform currently? ~ OCP works on defining Redfish profiles which could be a great collaboration opportunity
* What support and mechanisms are there for firmware updates in StarlingX?
I appreciate all the help the community can provide to answer the above questions, so I can share the answers with the OCP team.
Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Hi StarlingX Community,
I’m reaching out you about a recent OCP Edge WG meeting that I attended, and gave a presentation about StarlingX to raise awareness about the project in that community and seek for cross-community collaboration opportunities.
Brief recap about the presentation and the meeting:
- The main topic during the call was an introductory presentation about StarlingX. The outline of topics that I covered: * Introduction of the project as an open source, distributed cloud platform: ~ Debian integrated as base operating system ~ Support for both hardware and software infrastructure management * It utilizes container technologies on both the platform and application layers ~ The infrastructure services are running in containers ~ It supports running only containerized workloads at edge sites for small footprint * Some details about HW support and requirements in the platform * I highlighted that StarlingX is currently running in production at large telecom operators such as Verizon, Vodafone, T-Systems and more
- Questions and collaboration areas that came up during the call included: * Is StarlingX supporting or looking into Terraform (now OpenTofu) and Ansible? * Redfish profiles and sensor support in StarlingX ~ What is supported? ~ Working on Redfish profiles together can be a collaboration opportunity * What support and mechanisms are there for firmware updates in StarlingX? * StarlingX is working on ARM support, which was in interest for the OCP Edge group
As a next step, we discussed having someone from OCP Edge to give an overview presentation at an upcoming StarlingX call or at the PTG. I’m currently waiting for a response from the group in terms of what they would prefer.
Please share any information and comments you might have about the questions that came up and further notes, as well as any questions you might have about the above summary.
Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó
