This is the first ever project that ports Android OS into an image that can be used to create Android virtual machines running on Openstack clouds with full virtualisation support. Currently we only support Android 4.4 Kitkat 64bit distribution.

Instructons on how to create the image yourself: http://thisismyeye.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/enabling-virtio-drivers-on-kernel-for.html

This image is not perfect yet. Contributors are welcome!

This work is done by Chathura Madhusanka Sarathchandra Magurawalage as a part of his research activities at Network Convergence Laboratory (NCL), University Of Essex

Ditto Edge Server is a lightweight standalone server for resource-constrained edge environments, based on the core Ditto Edge SDK.

With Ditto Edge Server, you can join devices as small as a Raspberry Pi to a local mesh network and synchronize data across edge environments.

Ditto's Edge SDK is the only thing your edge devices need to ensure your application is operational in any environment, regardless of network conditions.
