标准2025今天，欧洲电信标准化协会（ETSI）多访问边缘计算行业规范组（ISG MEC）宣布了两项重要举措，以帮助业界正确发挥ETSI多访问边缘计算标准的影响，并为其部署中创造价值。
一份关于多访问边缘计算的pdfPAP开发软件的新白皮书已经发布，该小组正在开始了一项关于软件测试和符合MEC规范的新工作。
关于网络边缘软件开发的白皮书是十分重要的工具，能帮助应用开发商了解MEC环境的独特性质，以及如何恰当构建应用程序，从而在MEC中获取最大利益。白皮书为软件开发人员提供指导，让他们了解如何运用将在边缘云中运行的组件（如符合ETSI MEC标准的组件）来构建和开发应用程序。白皮书总结了边缘云区别于传统云入网点的关键属性，以及应用程序开发人员应专门为其设计的原因。白皮书还为如何进行此类设计提供了高层次指导，包括与现代软件开发范例（如微服务架构和DevOps）的互动。
另外，ETSI MEC ISG很高兴地宣告了新的测试和符合性工作。即将发布的文件将列出MEC符合性要求的特点和性能。此外，它还将明确规定一个测试框架，提供创建互操作性和/或一致性的测试方式、测试系统以及MEC标准测试规范的方法。我们邀请所有业内感兴趣的成员加入ETSI MEC ISG，为这项工作做出贡献。
ETSI ISG MEC的主席亚历克斯.雷兹尼克（Alex Reznik）说：“ETSI ISG MEC已经采取了这两项积极举措，以弥补阻碍MEC市场发展的缺口。我们的白皮书应帮助软件开发人员更容易地理解如何进行MEC的开发，从而帮助扩展已完成的MEC应用程序的发展空间。与此同时, 我们现在正积极地向市场阐释，符合ETSI MEC规范意味着什么，从而真正实现ETSI MEC标准的互操作性。”
ETSI Multi-Access Edge Computing releases new white paper and starts work on interoperability
Sophia Antipolis, 26 September 2017
Today the ETSI Industry Specification Group on Multi-Access Edge Computing (ISG MEC) announces two important steps in helping the industry to properly leverage ETSI MEC standards and generate value from MEC deployments.
A new white paper on pdfon Developing Software for Multi-Access Edge Computing has been released and the group is starting new work on testing and compliance with MEC specifications.
The white paper on software development for the network edge is an important tool in helping application developers understand the unique properties of a MEC environment and how to properly architect their applications to fully benefit from MEC. The document provides guidance for software developers on how to approach architecting and developing applications with components that will run in edge clouds, such as those compliant with ETSI MEC standards. It summarizes the key properties of edge clouds, as distinct from a traditional cloud point-of-presence, as well as the reasons why an application developer should choose to design specifically for these. It also provides high-level guidance on how to approach such design, including interaction with modern software development paradigms, such as microservices-based architectures and DevOps.
In addition, ETSI MEC ISG is pleased to announce new work on testing and compliance. A forthcoming document will list the functionalities and capabilities required by a MEC compliant implementation. In addition, it will specify a testing framework defining a methodology for the development of interoperability and/or conformance test strategies, test systems and the resulting test specifications for MEC standards. We invite all interested members of the community to join the ETSI MEC ISG and contribute to this work.
Alex Reznik, Chair of ETSI ISG MEC said: “With these two steps, ETSI ISG MEC has taken an aggressive approach towards closing several gaps that are impeding the growth of the MEC marketplace. Our white paper should make it easier for software developers to understand how to approach developing for MEC and thus help grow the space of MEC-ready applications. At the same time, we are now aggressively moving to clarify for the market what it means to comply with ETSI MEC specifications, and thus move closer to true interoperability around ETSI MEC standards.”
