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.

Installing a multi-node K3s cluster on your local network

To start creating this homelab, let’s understand the network topology that we are going to use. Each component in the following diagram is used in the homelab:

Figure 5.1 – Homelab architecture

Here is a small explanation of each component in the figure:

  • Lan: This is the local network that you are going to use. In our example, the network is defined as 192.168.0.0/24.
  • Switch: A switch is also a network connecting device which connects various devices in the same network.
  • Router: A router connects devices across multiple networks. Typically, home routers are hybrid devices that give local computers access to the Internet. It also has small switch capabilities to connect local computers, using wireless or Ethernet ports for your wired devices.
  • Public Interface: This is the interface of your router that has a public IP.
  • Gateway: This is an IP address that is used as the gateway in your private network.
  • DNS: This is...
