# ETSI MEC Sandbox

# ETSI MEC Sandbox

MEC Sandbox is an interactive environment that enables users to learn & experiment with ETSI MEC Service APIs.

These standardised RESTful APIs are targeted towards MEC application developers to expose the value added services

offered by MEC, including real time access to network and context information, as well as location awareness.

The design principles for developing the APIs have also been specified in ETSI GS MEC 009, along with http methods,

templates, conventions and patterns. The MEC service APIs are available in YAML and JSON format at https://forge.etsi.org,

presented via OpenAPI compliant descriptions.

MEC Sandbox provides the user with a choice of scenarios combining different network technologies (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi) and

terminal types. Combining these assets in a geolocated environment, a user can gain hands-on experience on the behaviour

and capabilities of the Location (MEC013), Radio Network Information (MEC012) and WLAN Information (MEC028) service APIs.

Such contextual information can offer significant differential performance for edge based MEC applications.

MEC Sandbox deploys the [AdvantEDGE edge emulation platform](https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/AdvantEDGE) to provide

real-time access to ETSI MEC service implementations.

MEC Sandbox provides the user with a choice of scenarios combining different network technologies (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi) and terminal types.

Such contextual information can offer significant differential performance for edge based MEC applications.

The MEC Sandbox frontend (provided in this repo) uses the AdvantEDGE platform & service REST APIs to create secure,

user-specific sandboxes where signed-in users can:

- Deploy & dynamically configure a scenario

- Try-out the MEC Service APIs using Swagger UI

- Interact with the MEC Services directly from a user MEC Application

### Prerequisites

MEC Sandbox has the following prerequisites:

1. [AdvantEDGE](https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/AdvantEDGE/wiki) runtime & development environments

   - Install [runtime environment](https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/AdvantEDGE/wiki/runtime-environment)

   - Install [development environment](https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/AdvantEDGE/wiki/development-environment)

1. OAuth Applications using external providers

   - **GitHub:**

     - github.com User Account --> Settings --> Developer settings --> OAuth Apps --> New OAuth App

     - _Application Name:_ ETSI MEC Sandbox

     - _Homepage URL:_ https://try-mec.etsi.org

     - _Application description:_ Optional description...

     - _Authorization callback URL:_ https://try-mec.etsi.org/platform-ctrl/v1/authorize

     - **NOTES:**

       - You can also add an application logo if you want users to see one during authentication

       - Once created, keep note of the OAuth App Client ID & Secret; this secret is only temporarily available on GitHub... keep a copy in a safe place!

       - If you need to generate a new secret the MEC Sandbox will have to be updated accordingly

   - **GitLab:**

     - gitlab.com User Account --> Settings --> Applications --> Add new application

     - _Name:_ ETSI MEC Sandbox

     - _Redirect URI:_ https://try-mec.etsi.org/platform-ctrl/v1/authorize

     - _Confidential:_ Unchecked

     - _Scopes:_ read_user

     - **NOTES:**

       - Once created, keep note of the OAuth App Client ID & Secret

### Build & Deploy

Build and deploy the MEC Sandbox as follows:

MEC Sandbox is licensed under under the [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://forge.etsi.org/rep/stf-587/mec-sandbox/blob/master/LICENSE)

1. Stop AdvantEDGE (if running)

   - Delete user sandboxes

     - Using AdvantEDGE frontend:

       - Login as admin @ https://try-mec.etsi.org

       - Open AdvantEDGE frontend @ https://try-mec.etsi.org/alt

       - Go to Exec Page and delete user sandboxes

     - Manually:

       - `helm ls -A --short | grep <sandbox-name> | xargs -L1 helm delete`

   - Delete core & dependency microservices:

     - `meepctl delete core`

     - `meepctl delete dep`

     - **NOTE:** This will clear all sessions in Redis DB

1. Build & Deploy STF Frontend:

   - Fetch required MEC Sandbox baseline
