Wind River is working with CENGN (Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks) to create a public repository to host StarlingX resources as a reference for the open source community.

StarlingX, as a source code–only project with no ISO or binary image available, has been challenging for interested developers to quickly get on board and meaningfully experiment.  With this new public repository, visitors will soon be able to download an ISO image and gain access to the upstream components.  Currently, developers can access CENGN’s mirror site for StarlingX, as well as check for updates about the repository, at www.mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror  .

StarlingX is an open source project hosted by the OpenStack Foundation that provides cloud infrastructure software for demanding critical infrastructure applications and services to be deployed at the network edge.  A key benefit of StarlingX is that it provides a complete edge cloud software stack comprised of many open source components.

Launched in May of this year with initial code contributions from the Wind River Titanium Cloud virtualization platform, StarlingX has grown to more than 80 active contributors from the community.  The StarlingX software platform provides virtualization infrastructure designed for the rigorous demands of critical infrastructure applications, such as telecom networks and industrial control.

CENGN is contributing staff and equipment resources to host a mirror of key upstream StarlingX components that are required in the edge cloud stack.  This new StarlingX repository will serve as the community-driven build and continuous integration (CI) process. Wind River is contributing staff resources and expertise to this environment. Together, CENGN and Wind River are collaborating with the community to deliver the mirror service to all Starling X users.
