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.

K3s Advanced Configurations and Management

This chapter covers more advanced configurations for your K3s clusters. By default, K3s includes a load balancer called KlipperLB, but it has some limitations. For example, you don't have to repeat a port while creating a service, and it affects the way that you use a regular load balancer and NodePort service. It works well for simple deployments. In case you need another load balancer instead of Klipper, we cover how to install MetalLB, a bare metal load balancer. Then, we cover how to use advanced storage configuration to support read/write access modes for storage volumes with Longhorn, substituting the default local storage class provided by K3s. After this, we will do some common cluster management, including upgrading K3s, backing up, and restoring the cluster.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Bare metal load balancer with MetalLB
  • Setting up Longhorn for storage
  • Upgrading...
