Hi Bruce Thank you for your response. For now, I am going to run through the setup, documents, blogs to understand whats all in there and figure out how I might be able to contribute. Will try to pop into some of the Wednesday meetings as well. Thanks Kiran On Thu, Jan 31, 2019 at 2:48 PM Jones, Bruce E <bruce.e.jones@intel.com> wrote:

Hi Starling Community

I'm new here and looking forward to be part of this community. Sharing a recent experience. Recently a small ISP approached me in helping them come up with an edge cloud architecture.

Went through discussions and research on how to enable them on a path to this. The first iteration of the recommendation was to look at CEPH+Openstack+Openshift. It did feel heavyweight for the purpose and lot of edge, pun intended, cases had to be covered.

Last night I came across starlingx. Wow, how did I not know about this project. Going through the starlingx onboarding deck, it addresses many many aspects of the edge cloud architecture and is heading into the container direction as well. I recommended it to them and they are already looking to run experiments with the project and already observed that the project covers many areas of concern they had.

Thanks

Kiran
