This roundtable discussion gives the Edge Field Day delegates time to reflect on the topics and themes presented at the event. Considering the overall themes of the event, the delegates highlighted questions of security, zero-touch provisioning, scalability, and automation. Another key perspective is that there are many vendors and products serving many different buyers in different environments, making edge computing especially complex. The delegates also contrast edge with cloud and datacenter infrastructure and tools, and the usefulness of technologies like Kubernetes and remote management at the edge. Looking to the future, the delegates consider what they would like to see at the next Edge Field Day event, from storage and IoT to gaming and security.
