Insights into artificial intelligence, cloud native, edge computing trends | "2022 Smart Cloud Edge Open Source Summit" was successfully held

From August 19th to 20th, 2022, the 2-day annual event of "ACE Smart Cloud and Edge Co-creation Ecosystem" - "2022 Smart Cloud Edge Open Source Summit" (2022 Open Source AceCon) was successfully held online. This summit was jointly organized by VMware, Intel, EMQ, Kyligence, Jiangxing Intelligence, Lingqueyun and many other "ACE Co-innovation Ecosystem" partners. 37 industry leaders from the open source field Leaders and technical experts gather here to share trends and insights on the three popular technologies of "artificial intelligence, cloud native, and edge computing", so as to work with partners to jointly promote open source technology innovation and open source ecological prosperity.

The two-day summit will be the main forum on "Open Innovation Leadership" held in the morning of August 19, the cloud native sub-forum in the afternoon, and the edge computing sub-forum held on August 20.

At the main forum, ten open source leaders from Linux Foundation, VMware, Intel, EMQ, Kyligence, Jiangxing Intelligence, Lingque Cloud and PingCAP discussed and discussed topics such as building an open source innovation ecosystem, enabling technology evangelism and co-innovation. Topic sharing.

At the beginning of the meeting, Song Chunxue, the project manager of VMware Ecology and Innovation Department, made an opening introduction as the host of the main forum of "Open Innovation Leadership". Then Jim Zemlin, chairman of the Linux Foundation, sent a message to the conference and wished the conference a success.

Jim Zemlin said that open source is becoming the cornerstone of technological innovation and development in modern society and the continuous iteration of infrastructure software. The Linux Foundation has achieved globalization in a true sense. In addition to continuing to promote the development of key global open source projects, it is also open Hardware, standardization, security, computer network, cloud, AI, edge and other fields expansion. In the future, the Linux Foundation will also carry out original and open research fields such as climate change, continue to work with the industry to build reliable and credible open source projects, and continue to accelerate open innovation.

Ren Daoyuan, general manager of VMware China R&D Center, said that in the distributed computing of AI and other technologies and user applications, with the explosive growth of computing power demand, the future will promote public cloud, private cloud, edge cloud, telecom cloud, etc. The market for multi-cloud services is growing. "The ACE intelligent cloud-edge co-creation ecosystem, a diverse community initiated by VMware and open source ecological partners, will provide service empowerment for innovative organizations in the dimensions of AI, cloud native, and edge computing. We look forward to working with ecological partners to jointly promote technological innovation." . In addition, the "ACE Smart Cloud-Edge Accelerator" and "ACE Smart Cloud-Edge Co-Creation Ecosystem" cooperation models were officially released, and how they promoted innovation in public welfare, environment, society and management.

Zhang Haining, founder of the Harbor open source project, said that federated learning has become very important in a multi-cloud environment. FedLCM, which will be open sourced in the FATE project, the industry's first private computing federated learning open source community, can realize federated learning platform management in a multi-cloud environment. In addition, in terms of the security of cloud-native applications, the traditional static scanning method is no longer enough to deal with security problems such as malicious images, and dynamic monitoring of running cloud-native application solutions has become the current research direction. On the basis of Harbor, through the newly developed Cloud Native Security Inspector cloud native security detector (will be open source soon), it can help users solve the security hidden dangers in the running process.

Lu Guang, co-founder and core maintainer of EdgeX China Community, said that with the continuous coordinated development of multi-cloud and edge computing, enterprises in heterogeneous and isolated environments are constantly facing massive computing demands and complex business challenges. EdgeX Foundry, which is maintained by VMware, integrates edge application frameworks, BYOH orchestrates Kubernetes edge applications and open source projects, and effectively "crosses" the cloud edge to optimize cloud-native application operations. The latest "Deep Cooling Joint Solution" based on cloud-side coordination, and plans to continue to optimize the internal orchestration algorithm of data center applications, can be dedicated to improving carbon emission efficiency and realizing the vision of "green computing".

Li Ying, Intel vice president and general manager of the Software Ecology Department, said that as the first manufacturer to cooperate with Linux and build a "modern data center", Intel's open source aspect has enabled hardware and software to develop from a "split" state in the past to today's openness. The state that dominates the cloud and data center. Next, Intel will also continue to increase its investment in open source communities and software, combine software and hardware virtualization cooperation and collaborative efforts with the developer community to jointly promote Intel's "four forces of innovation", namely artificial intelligence and ubiquitous computing. , ubiquitous connectivity, interaction and collaboration between infrastructure from cloud to edge to explore greater change.

In the cloud native sub-forum held on the afternoon of August 19, Zhang Haining, founder of the Harbor open source project and chairman of the FATE development committee of the federated learning open source project, gave an opening speech. Zhang Haining said that the main line of this sub-forum is application security, communication and operation and maintenance in the cloud native field. On this basis, the topic has also extended from the cloud native field to artificial intelligence, privacy computing, etc., adding solutions based on privacy computing data protection, artificial intelligence and native base integration.

At the same time, the cloud native sub-forum also invited Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, general manager of LF AI & Data, and many guests from VMware, Intel, FATE open source community, Kyligence, StreamNative, Zilliz, Fushu Technology, Tencent Cloud, and Yake Cloud Security They gave special speeches on the topics of artificial intelligence and privacy computing, which were brilliant.

At the edge computing sub-forum on August 20, James Butcher, Chairman of EdgeX Foundry Technical Steering Committee, Lu Guang, Co-founder of EdgeX China Community, Sun Min, Director of Market Ecology of Intel Network and Edge Group, and Yu Jielin, Director of Edge Computing R&D of EMQ respectively brought Here came the sharing themes on "The Importance of Open Edge Computing", "EdgeX and Multi-Cloud Edge", "Intel's Open Source Ecological Way of Edge Computing", and "EMQ's Open Source Edge Computing Data Infrastructure".

At the meeting, Arpit Joshipura, general manager of LF Edge, gave an opening speech and shared the development of edge computing and how the Linux Foundation promotes the market development of edge computing. Arpit Joshipura said that in response to the current challenges in various fields, new applications of edge computing are also emerging based on bandwidth and latency. To develop edge computing in a larger interconnected world and form open solutions in an end-to-end world, open source projects are crucial, and projects such as AKraino provided by LF Edge and the LF Edge framework can help integrate enterprises, services The framework, including suppliers, etc., is connected to the edge to solve various problems.

In the sub-forum, there are also many industry leaders from Jiangxing Intelligence, Yunchuang Vision, Zhongke Thunder, Nanjing Future IoT, Alibaba Cloud, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Tencent Cloud respectively on the theme of edge computing and sustainable computing. Wonderful sharing, constant highlights.

At this summit, a total of 22+ companies and organizations shared professionally on 34+ exciting topics in the industry, 25+ communities and media partners participated in support and dissemination, and over 47,000 people watched this wonderful industry event online.
