And now with tags in the subject. :)

Thanks,

> In the Edge Coputing Group we are collecting use cases for the edge cloud infrastructure. They are recorded in our wiki [1] and they describe high level scenarios when an edge cloud infrastructure would be needed.
> 
> During the second Denver PTG discussions we drafted two MVP architectures what we could build from the current functionality of OpenStack with some slight modifications [2]. These are based on the work of James and his team from Oath. We differentiate between a distributed [3] and a centralized [4] control plane architecture scenarios.

> In one of the Berlin Forum sessions we were asked to map the MVP architecture scenarios to the use cases so I made an initial mapping and now I’m looking for feedback.
> 
> This mapping only means, that the listed use case can be implemented using the MVP architecture scenarios. It should be noted, that none of the MVP architecture scenarios provide solution for edge cloud infrastructure upgrade or centralized management. 
> 
> Here I list the use cases and the mapped architecture scenarios:
> 
> Mobile service provider 5G/4G virtual RAN deployment and Edge Cloud B2B2X [5]
>  Both distributed [3] and centralized [4]
> Universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) for Enterprise Network Services[6]
>  Both distributed [3] and centralized [4]
> Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones) [7]
>  None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event
> Cloud Storage Gateway - Storage at the Edge [8]
>  None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event
> Open Caching - stream/store data at the edge [9]
>  Both distributed [3] and centralized [4]
> Smart City as Software-Defined closed-loop system [10]
>  The use case is not complete enough to figure out
> Augmented Reality -- Sony Gaming Network [11]
> None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event
> Analytics/control at the edge [12]
>  The use case is not complete enough to figure out
> Manage retail chains - chick-fil-a [13]
>  The use case is not complete enough to figure out
>  At this moment chick-fil-a uses a different Kubernetes cluster in every edge location and they manage them using Git [14]
> Smart Home [15]
>  None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event
> Data Collection - Smart cooler/cold chain tracking [16]
>  None - assuming that this Use Case requires a Small Edge instance which can work in case of a network partitioning event
> VPN Gateway Service Delivery [17]
