4. Partially Connected Scenarios Introduction to EdgeDevOps Agenda Disconnected Scenarios Development Workflow Discovery and Networking
5. Introduction to EdgeDevOps
6. EdgeDevOps ▪ What is it? Just DevOps but for the “edge.” ▪ Why can’t we do what we normally do? Because edge devices are “special” ▪ Constraints (i.e. network connectivity, latency) ▪ There are 1..n devices (potentially with different versions) ▪ More like choreography than orchestration
7. Looking at the Development Workflow
8. Inner-Development Loop Problem How do you ensure everyone on the team has the same development environment?
9. Inner-Development Loop Solution ▪ DevContainers (VS Code) ▪ GitHub CodeSpaces
10. What Are DevContainers? ▪ Standardised development environment ▪ Docker container ▪ Contains common tools ▪ Everything needed for development ▪ Transportable ▪ Ability to run in CI/CD pipeline
11. Complexity with Deploying to The Edge
12. Evolution of “Compute”
13. Our EdgeDevOps Flow
14. Our EdgeDevOps Flow
15. Edge Devices That Are Partially Connected
16. Sample Environment
17. Partially Connected Scenario
18. Partially Connected Scenario
19. Partially Connected Scenario
20. Partially Connected Scenario
21. Partially Connected Scenario
22. Partially Connected Scenario
23. Partially Connected Scenario Features: ▪ Cache on the base station ▪ Leaf discoverability (ZeroConfig network) ▪ Leaf Bootstrap
24. Edge Devices That Are Disconnected
25. Sample Air Gapped Environment
26. Sample Air Gapped Environment
27. Sample Air Gapped Environment
28. Sample Air Gapped Environment
29. Zarf is Not a Silver Bullet ! Challenges: ▪ Not Prod ready ▪ Debugging ▪ Version control ▪ Big binaries ▪ Restricts k8s ▪ Validation/Encryption Pros: ▪ Big community ▪ DoD is using it ▪ Good docs ▪ K8S native ▪ Single package
30. For Edge Devices Zero Config Networking
31. ZeroConfig Networking ▪ Set of technologies that automatically create a usable computer network. ▪ Does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers (i.e. DHCP). ▪ Automatically … assign IP addresses, resolve hostnames, and locate services. ▪ UDP Broadcast (Query+Response pattern) ▪ Multicast DNS (mDNS) ▪ DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)
32. Wrapping Up ▪ DevContainers (Inner-DevLoop) ▪ Flux (GitOps) ▪ Harbor (Container Image Cache) ▪ GitEA (Git Repo Cache) ▪ Zarf (Packaging) ▪ mDNS, DNS-SD (Discoverability)
