    Study Notes

    • EDGE stands for "edge computing," which refers to placing resources that move, store, and process data closer to the data's source or the point of service delivery.
    • EDGE is important for modern applications because it can reduce application latency, improve the quality of experience, optimize total cost of ownership, comply with data locality requirements, and enable actionable insights at the site of real action, or a lot closer to it.
    • Many needs and challenges are created when bringing an EDGE compute environment to a running container architecture for applications.
    • Limitations or restrictions of EDGE compute environments arise from the limited infrastructure capacity and capability available for the processing and storage of data, as well as the available network bandwidth.
    • Another challenge is having the capability to provide security for an entire software stack and for the data that is stored and processed locally.
    • The choice of container management platform also plays a crucial role.
    • For example, an open-source container orchestration system like Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
    • Docker provides swarm mode, a cluster management tool for containers. IT managers and developers can set up and control a cluster of Docker nodes as a single virtual system using Swarm.
    • With that understanding, let’s look at how a containerized application would fit into EDGE use cases.
    • An image recognition processor, with intelligent feedback logic responsible for quality assurance at a factory, will see a dramatic improvement in output efficiency if it is within the actual camera observing the manufactured product.
    • A smart integration of systems with multiple sensors at a retail store will enable new shopping experiences that could attract and drive more business.
    • The same analogy applies to enabling new driving experiences with autonomous vehicles.
    • EDGE compute devices can be used to improve the performance and reliability of applications.
    • Docker can be used to distribute and deploy bios/firmware updates over the air, and cloud-based CI/CD workflows can be used to integrate operations into the same distribution and deployment mechanism used for applications.
    • EDGE compute devices must be trustworthy enough that they are always fault tolerant.
    • The main purpose of the solution is to have the solution operable in a zero-touch provisioning model for both the hardware platform and the entire software stack.
    • Containerized architecture is a way of organizing software so that it can be easily deployed and managed.
    • Containerized architecture is beneficial because it allows for a modular structure that can be used to build up to specific functions.
    • Containerized architecture is used in a number of different industries, including industrial, retail, healthcare, telecommunications, and more.
    • An EDGE compute solution can be implemented using containerized architecture to improve the flexibility and manageability of the solution.
