KubeEdge: From Fixed Location To Movable Edge, Latest Updates And Future

The presentation discusses the results of a stability test for the Kubernetes-based KubeEdge project, which aims to support edge computing. The test shows that KubeEdge can support 100 nodes and manage one million deployed pods.

• KubeEdge is a Kubernetes-based project for edge computing
• The stability test shows that KubeEdge can support 100 nodes and manage one million deployed pods
• The test results show impressive latency performance for both mutating and read-only API calls
• The presentation mentions plans to improve security and device mappers, as well as support for cross-submarine communications and edge clusters
• The KubeEdge project is collaborating with telecom companies and contributing to white papers on 5G multi-access edge computing

The presenter mentions a use case where a water company provides edge devices for their customers to monitor water quality. While the customers do not own the devices, they can choose which application to deploy on them from the cloud. The KubeEdge project ensures a desired state is maintained even if the network connection is lost.

KubeEdge is an open source edge computing framework that extends the power of kubernetes from central cloud to edge. Since last met, KubeEdge has made big progress on user adoption, community development, cross-community collaborations. In this talk, Kevin and Yin will cover: 1. latest user adoptions in several new industries, including: cloud native satellite, smart vehicles, offshore oil fields, etc; 2. development updates, including: significant scalability improvement, brand new device mapping interface, 3. Project roadmap, TSC, SIG and subproject updates. 4. Community Security updates including: security audit report, threat model and security protection analysis. 5. Useful informations on how new contributors to get involved. There will be an open Q&A for attendees to ask questions.
