Architecture¶
Edge Computing (1)¶
Distributed Systems¶
- (2022) Red Hat's approach to Edge Computing π [ADVANCED LEVEL] [CASE STUDY] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β Analyzes Red Hat's edge computing framework using lightweight OpenShift single-node configurations and MicroShift. It details how the architecture addresses low-latency processing, disconnected operations, and remote automated lifecycle management. This framework enables enterprise microservices to deploy seamlessly from core data centers to resource-constrained IoT gateways.
Kubernetes Edge¶
Architecture (1)¶
- (2021) thenewstack.io: A New Kubernetes Edge Architecture [ADVANCED LEVEL] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β An exploratory piece mapping out cutting-edge architectural patterns for multi-cluster edge configurations, comparing unified central control plane models with highly autonomous, decoupled local cluster patterns.
KubeEdge¶
- (2021) opensource.com: Why KubeEdge is my favorite open source project of 2020 π [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β An open-source profile detailing KubeEdge. The article outlines how KubeEdge extends the standard Kubernetes control plane to remote systems, ensuring offline local node execution and MQTT-driven IoT connectivity.
MicroShift¶
- (2021) developers.redhat.com: Bring your Kubernetes workloads to the edge [ADVANCED LEVEL] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β A guide on scaling down and adapting standard containerized workloads to small, resource-constrained edge computing environments. It outlines storage optimizations and minimized memory footprint topologies.
Monitoring¶
RHEL Edge¶
- (2021) redhat.com: Letβs monitor edge computing networks with RHEL! [ADVANCED LEVEL] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β This Red Hat article focuses on implementing low-overhead system monitoring for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Edge nodes. It details collecting system state telemetry over thin, low-bandwidth connections.
Standards¶
Cloudian¶
- (2021) thenewstack.io: Cloudian CTO: Kubernetes, Standardization Key to Edge [COMMUNITY-TOOL] β An executive perspective from Cloudian highlighting Kubernetes standardization as the foundational component of modern edge architecture. It analyzes strategies to coordinate hybrid storage clusters safely across remote zones.
