One serious doubt I still have is this: there’s a huge open-source community producing excellent building blocks, but turning those into integrated, production-grade edgecloud platforms seems to require either very large capital (i.e. big tech) or a level of sustained focus that’s hard to achieve. That raises a question for me. Is the missing piece actually money and scale or is it where and with whom this integration happens? In other words, can domain-specific Edge-cloud systems realistically be built and maintained by smaller, focused teams working closely with the stakeholders who need them, or does this inevitably collapse back into hyperscaler-led platforms? Anyway would an initiative such as now being launched in Europe, the OFEIA fly ? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/open-federated-edgecloud-infr...
