Overview of this book

Edge computing is a way of processing information near the source of data instead of processing it on data centers in the cloud. In this way, edge computing can reduce latency when data is processed, improving the user experience on real-time data visualization for your applications. Using K3s, a light-weight Kubernetes and k3OS, a K3s-based Linux distribution along with other open source cloud native technologies, you can build reliable edge computing systems without spending a lot of money. In this book, you will learn how to design edge computing systems with containers and edge devices using sensors, GPS modules, WiFi, LoRa communication and so on. You will also get to grips with different use cases and examples covered in this book, how to solve common use cases for edge computing such as updating your applications using GitOps, reading data from sensors and storing it on SQL and NoSQL databases. Later chapters will show you how to connect hardware to your edge clusters, predict using machine learning, and analyze images with computer vision. All the examples and use cases in this book are designed to run on devices using 64-bit ARM processors, using Raspberry Pi devices as an example. By the end of this book, you will be able to use the content of these chapters as small pieces to create your own edge computing system.

Communicating with Edge Devices across Long Distances Using LoRa

Long Range (LoRa) is a wireless protocol that you can use to receive and send data over long distances using low-powered devices. You can use these edge devices with solar panels or other sources of energy. Sometimes, your edge devices use batteries and are not connected to a common power source like we often find in our houses. When you are crafting edge systems, you could use edge devices using sensors that you have to configure. You could use prototype hardware platforms such as Arduino or devices such as ESP32 microcontrollers or a Raspberry Pi. These devices support LoRa modules to bring communication capabilities to your device, which is crucial for sending and receiving data from devices. In this chapter, we are going to explore how to take advantage of the LoRa wireless protocol to send or receive data from long distances. We will continue expanding the options for monitoring edge devices as in the previous chapter...
