Demonstrating inter-platform federation for multi-operator edge application management

This demonstration presents a practical scenario of federation across two Open Operator Platforms (Open OPs). The demo will illustrate a user on the originating OpenOP requesting to deploy an edge application on a partner OpenOP. The end-to-end workflow begins with the CAMARA OEG, which interacts with the GSMA-compliant Federation Manager (FM). The FM at the originating OpenOP establishes the federation process by communicating with the partner FM, which in turn manages the deployment towards the edge cloud infrastructure. The demonstration highlights the use of CAMARA APIs for deploying edge applications both in the local and federated domains. The key part of the demonstration will show how the originating FM leverages the Open SDK to perform specific tasks, such as uploading an application artefact and managing its instantiation on both, local and the partner OpenOP’s edge cloud. This provides a clear, end-to-end view of the federation mechanism in action and underlines the instrumental role of the Open SDK in enabling this functionality.
