Address concerns about the use of eSync as an OTA solution for non-AWF members #33

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

Checklist

Description

Confirm if eSync has an open-source or free tier available that will allow non-AWF members to use their OTA solution with Open AD Kit.

Purpose

One of the stated objectives of the Open AD Kit project is to "deliver an autonomous drive quick starter kit comprising of hardware, system software, communication middleware, Autoware and cloud connectivity to boot strap cloud native automotive development". Although the eSync license covers AWF members, what about non-AWF members who want to use the Open AD Kit?

Definition of done

Confirm the situation around eSync's license for non-AWF members - is there any open source or free tier solution? Done. Since the Autoware project usage is not limited to only AWF members, non-AWF members will be made available to use eSync's OTA capability, once it's implemented in the Open AD Kit. This is a general rule of thumb but technicalities will be detailed once the implementation is completed.

_Confirm how AWF members will get access to eSync's solution Done. eSync's SDK is currently running on major public cloud vendors (such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud). For AWF members to access the solution, a separate SDK (with the same capabilities) will be made available to use through AWF hosted cloud instances
