# AdvantEDGE

AdvantEDGE is a Mobile Edge Emulation Platform (MEEP) that runs on Docker & Kubernetes
AdvantEDGE is a Mobile Edge Emulation Platform (MEEP) that runs on Docker & Kubernetes.

MEEP provides an environment to experiment with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technologies and edge / fog deployment models in short and agile iterations.
> AdvantEDGE provides an emulation environment, enabling experimentation with Edge Computing Technologies, Applications, and Services.  The platform facilitates users to explore edge / fog deployment models and their impact to applications and services in short and agile iterations.

## Motivations
- [x] **Accelerate Mobile Edge Computing adoption**
- [x] **Discover new edge application use cases & services**
- [x] **Answer these questions:**
  * Where should my application components be located in the network?
  * What are network characteristics limitations of my application?
  * How will my application behave when the user moves in the network?
- [x] **Help to answer questions such as:**
  * Where should my application components be located in the edge network?
  * How do network characteristics (such as latency, jitter, and packet loss) impact my application or service?
  * How will my application behave when the user moves within and across access networks?

## Intended Users
- [x] **Edge Application Developers**
- [x] **Edge Network and Service Designers**
- [x] **Edge Researchers**
- [x] **Technologists that are simply interestied learning how the Edge works**

## Getting started
* [Setup runtime environment (Ubuntu/Dockers/Kubernetes/Helm)](docs/setup_runtime.md)
