A Kubernetes Native Edge Computing Framework

KubeEdge

Kubernetes Native Edge Computing Framework

KubeEdge is an open source system for extending native containerized application orchestration capabilities to hosts at Edge. It is built upon kubernetes and provides fundamental infrastructure support for network, application deployment and metadata synchronization between cloud and edge. KubeEdge is licensed under Apache 2.0. and free for personal or commercial use absolutely. We welcome contributors!

Our goal is to make an open platform to enable Edge computing, extending native containerized application orchestration capabilities to hosts at Edge, which is built upon kubernetes and provides fundamental infrastructure support for network, app deployment and metadata synchronization between cloud and edge.

Why KubeEdge

Kubernetes Native API at Edge

Autonomic Kube-API Endpoint at Edge, support to run third-party plugins and applications that depends on Kubernetes APIs on edge nodes.

Seamless Cloud-Edge Coordination

Bidirectional communication, able to talk to edge nodes located in private subnet.
Support both metadata and data

Edge Autonomy

Metadata persistent per node, no list-watch needed during node recovery, get ready faster.
Autonomous operation of edge even during disconnection from cloud.

Low Resource Ready

Optimized usage of resource at the edge.
Memory footprint down to ~70MB.

Simplified Device Communication

Easy communication between application and devices for IOT and Industrial Internet.

Heterogenous

Native support of x86, ARMv7, ARMv8
