Abstract:

Edge cloud technology is the product of ICT integration and also the key technology to support operators in 5G network transformation.Relying on the advantages of abundant communication cloud resources,operators can build edge cloud resource pools on the side of network edges for end users to ensure low delay and high bandwidth business requirements,so as to meet the future business development of high-definition video,VR/AR,industrial internet and internet of vehicles.The overall thinking of operators to build edge cloud platform were focused on,including hardware selection,lightweight virtualization layer,PaaS platform construction and business management scheduling strategy.In the end,several types of services enabled by edge cloud of operators were analyzed and explained,including security monitoring scenarios,CDN sinking,slice customization and service acceleration.In the future,operators will provide edge cloud to end solutions,establish a new industry ecology for 5G,and promote the development of the entire edge cloud industry chain.

Key words: edge cloud, communication cloud, open for capabilities, container deployment
