Intel announced it is contributing Wind River Titanium Cloud components along with its Network Edge Virtualization Software Development Kit (NEV SDK) to the Linux Foundation’s Akraino Edge Stack project. By contributing to the open source project, Intel will join community members Altiostar, China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI), China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Docker, Huawei, iFlyTek, New H3C Group, Tencent, ZTE and 99Cloud. The Akraino Edge Stack project was introduced last month with a focus on developing an open source stack to improve the state of edge cloud infrastructure. Edge computing has been championed as an effective way to connect and secure the growing number of IoT devices. To kickstart the project, AT&T contributed its code made for carrier-scale edge computing applications running in virtual machines and containers.
