OpenNebula, by leveraging edge computing infrastructure, simplifies significantly the process of provisioning and managing edge resources. In this way, cloud admins can expand their private clouds in a flexible way, incorporating when necessary the distributed dedicated infrastructure they might need to satisfy their users’ requirements of low latency. By using edge node provisioning tools, OpenNebula makes use of already available resources offered by third-party bare-metal providers like Packet (now part of Equinix) or AWS. Since the release of version 5.8-codenamed ‘Edge’-OpenNebula incorporates a number of key features for creating and managing highly distributed cloud infrastructures (i.e. This new model provides players with a much better gaming experience, especially in fast-paced environments such as First Person Shooter (FPS) and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) video games. Today, the most innovative gaming and entertainment companies-and their customers-are starting to experience first-hand the many benefits derived from setting up a distributed infrastructure. The need for low latency in on-line gaming requires moving beyond a “centralized cloud approach” and adopting instead a “ distributed edge model”.
