Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

Some applications benefit from moving closer to data ingest, or the user. Edge reduces local processing latency, and supports isolated operation. It also has challenges compared to the pooled resources, and single point of management of centralized clouds.

You won’t achieve the Google Borg experience at an edge location - nor are you likely to need it. But with planning it is possible to achieve edge deployments that are secure, with predictable performance and “highly available enough” considering constraints on money, physical space, power, etc.

Steve will provide specific recommendations related to architecture, networking, storage, patching, logging, disaster recovery, and remote manageability - based on using Kubernetes, and other open source tools and technology.

This is a rapidly changing space, and Steve will also touch on some interesting proposals and work underway in the space.
