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.

Technical requirements

It is important to understand the basics of Container-based computing for this chapter. We recommend that you are familiar with what Docker1, Podman2, or Kubernetes3 are and their relevance to Containers. It is not necessary to be familiar with all of them, but knowing any one of them will help in this chapter.

Important note

At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, one of the key differentiations we will discuss in this chapter is the concept of locally collaborating groups of Containers. Given the often strong correlation between a Container and the microservice it contains, it is common that a set of Containers must be grouped into a logical set and managed as a unit. This grouping reflects the relatively tight relationship that these microservices have with each other, implying the need for secure communication between them in the...
