Looking to transition away from a single VM to a containerized environment at the edge? In this demo, we show how Avassa makes it easy to migrate to distributed container applications at the edge. We start by outlining the limitations of VMs at the edge and introduce the core concepts: container package formats, distribution mechanisms, and lifecycle operations in the edge container runtime.

See how Avassa uses these to simplify edge deployments including packaging VMs as containers during a migration period. We deploy a sample application and demonstrate full health probe functionality and monitoring for real-time insights. Then, we seamlessly replace the VM-based application with a new Linux-native container version, showcasing a smooth upgrade process with minimal downtime. By the end, you’ll understand how Avassa empowers efficient application migration from VMs to containers at the edge.
