New Reference Architecture is a Leap Forward for Fog Computing
On February 8th, the OpenFog Consortium released the OpenFog Reference Architecture (RA). This 162 page document represents more than a year’s work from our global membership of 55 organizations. The OpenFog RA is a mid-level guidepost document, full of invaluable architecture recommendations for anyone wishing to implement fog components, fog nodes, entire fog networks, or fog-based applications. It describes in detail several illustrative fog use cases in transportation, smart cities, and visual security. The RA also discusses eight core fog capabilities that we call the Pillars of OpenFog, including Security, Scalability, Openness, Autonomy, Manageability, Agility,…
