Real-World Edge Computing

By: Robert High, Sanjeev Gupta

Overview of this book

Edge computing holds vast potential to revolutionize industries, yet its implementation poses unique challenges. Written by industry veterans Rob High and Sanjeev Gupta, this comprehensive guide bridges the gap between theory and practice. Distilling expertise from their combined decades of experience in edge computing and hybrid cloud mesh solutions, this book equips software developers and DevOps teams with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy edge solutions at scale in production environments. It also explores foundational standards and introduces key factors that may impede the scaling of edge solutions. While edge computing draws from the successes of cloud computing, crucial distinctions separate the two. High and Gupta elucidate these distinctions, helping you grasp the nuanced dynamics of edge-computing ecosystems. With a focus on leveraging Open Horizon to overcome pitfalls and optimize performance, this book will help you confidently navigate the intricacies of constructing and deploying resilient edge solutions in real-world production settings. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired a deep understanding of essential success factors for building and deploying robust edge solutions in real-world production settings, leveraging Open Horizon for scalable edge deployments.

Edge Container Platforms

As we stated previously, a core attribute of Edge computing is its use of Containers to encapsulate the application services you will deploy to the Edge – far Edge devices, servers, or servers in the network or metro Edge. We explained why this is key to Edge computing in Chapter 3, Designing and Building Edge Software.

A prerequisite to executing a Container is that it runs on a Container runtime, such as Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes. Any of these runtimes can host and execute an OCI-compliant Container. Nonetheless, some essential differences between each of these must be considered before building out your Edge infrastructure. We will discuss those differences and their trade-offs here.

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

  • The Open Container Initiative (OCI)
  • Docker
  • Podman
  • Kubernetes
