KubeEdge represents a dynamic evolution in edge computing, continually adapting to the growing demands of modern applications and the Internet of Things (IoT). The foresight of its founders has been instrumental in establishing a robust framework that not only extends Kubernetes capabilities but also fosters collaboration within the open-source community, ensuring that KubeEdge remains at the forefront of technological advancements in edge environments.
This book covers containers, Kubernetes fundamentals, and KubeEdge's architecture, including CloudCore, EdgeCore, and DeviceTwin. Learn installation, configuration, and management, focusing on scalability, security, and resilience. Explore workload management, upgrades, observability, and automation with tools like Terraform and Ansible. The book also reviews industry alternatives, SIGs, and collaborations with CNCF projects. Finally, discover real-world applications in industries like manufacturing and retail, with insights into Sedna AI for edge analytics.
The container ecosystem for Edge Computing is designed to address the unique challenges of deploying applications in edge environments, where resources are distributed, and connectivity may be limited. Kubernetes at the Edge (K3s) and OpenShift are key platforms orchestrating containerized applications in edge scenarios. Key components include lightweight containerization technologies like Docker, and container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes which is adapted for edge scenarios. Edge-specific container runtimes like containerd are optimized for resource-constrained environments. Projects like K3s offer a lightweight Kubernetes distribution tailored for edge deployments. Edge-focused container registries, like Harbor, enhance security and manage container images locally. This ecosystem enables efficient, scalable, and decentralized application deployment at the edge, supporting the evolving requirements of edge computing architectures.
Through practical examples, industry insights, and case studies, this book describes what is currently developed around KubeEdge and the functional and non-functional aspects surrounding it. If you are looking to understand this technology in depth, in its current state of maturity, and extend it into your solution architecture, this book will serve as valuable guidance for you.
