Devops radically transformed the way we build and deliver software. If you are building Cloud Native applications today, you probably leverage a DevOps approach. The rise of Edge computing, however, challenges the status quo. Edge Computing complements Cloud computing by deploying hardware resources and software components in the real world, as close to the source of the data as possible. At the Edge, a pure DevOps approach is doomed to failure. Why is that? The Cloud is homogeneous and centralized; the Edge is heterogeneous and distributed. They are nothing alike.
EdgeOps is a vision for Edge Computing proposed by the Edge Native working group at the Eclipse Foundation. EdgeOps aims to tailor the basic principles of DevOps in an approach more suited to the specificities of the Edge environment. One of its tenets is that the components of the data, control and monitoring planes can be placed anywhere on the edge-to-cloud continuum. This kind of flexibility requires protocols, platforms and tooling built from the ground up for the Edge.
In this session, you will learn what EdgeOps is and why it matters to you from a panel of edge computing veterans.
