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.

Personnel: Erik Nordmark, Raghu Vatte

Edge computing is creating a new reality for security professionals who now need to extend their security infrastructures to a distributed environment that might have no perimeter, is heterogeneous, includes devices that may be too constrained to run traditional security tools, may have little to no onsite IT staff, and at a scale that may run into the tens of thousands or more. Plus, as previously segmented IoT projects are brought onto the network to leverage the on-site data analysis and decision making enabled by edge computing, it also brings a new OT stakeholder that may have different concerns than IT. ZEDEDA offers a simple and scalable cloud-based orchestration solution that delivers visibility, control and security for distributed edge computing, and is designed to meet the security, safety, uptime and usability needs of both OT and IT organizations.

Avassa provides a platform that unlocks delightfully easy container application management at your edge. In this video, they share key takeaways on how to easily manage on-site edge container infrastructure, robustly monitor your edge applications, and meet the expectations of a self-service developer experience set by the central cloud. This video summarizes the demos provided in the following demos:

• Managing on-site edge container infrastructure with the Avassa platform
• Deploying and updating on-site edge container applications with the Avassa platform
• Monitoring and observing on-site edge container applications with the Avassa platform

An important aspect of business continuity is the performance and availability of the constituent edge container applications. Enterprises must focus on how to monitor the applications at the edge proactively. Meanwhile, edge monitoring is different from monitoring applications in the central cloud in several ways. In this demo, Avassa shows how their edge container application management platform provides edge native support for monitoring and observability. They walk us through use cases such as failed upgrades, attempting to deploy to disconnected sites, and how to ensure consistency in application operations.

Avassa’s platform helps application teams deploy and update containerized edge applications. With applications running in many locations, they need distributed care and control. In this video, Avassa demonstrates how to deploy and update container applications at the on-site edge. They use a declarative model to define, version, and place applications based on constraint-based placement on both site- and host level. By applying well-understood concepts like versioning and label-matching the need for manual work is radically reduced for managing applications at scale.

The Avassa platform provides a broad set of features for IT- and platform teams tasked with providing distributed infrastructure for application teams that need to run container applications at the on-site edge. In this demo, Avassa shows how to onboard and configure distributed hosts into site-clusters for application placement and deployment purposes. We take a look at monitoring the health of the constituent sites at the cluster- and host level. We perform administrative tasks on the distributed clusters including observing resource consumption for planning purposes and scheduled maintenance activities without impacting application availability.
