How MicroK8s is uniquely positioned for accelerating IoT and Edge deployments
Edge gateways must efficiently utilize computational resources while dealing with a variety of protocols, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, and 5G. It is challenging to operate Kubernetes directly on edge servers because edge gateways have constrained computational capabilities. Some of the problems include the following:
- For better monitoring and management, separating the control plane and worker nodes from the edge and transferring the control plane to the cloud, where the control plane and worker nodes take the workload.
- Separating the cluster data store to handle heavy loads.
- Making worker nodes specifically for incoming and outgoing traffic will improve traffic management.
These problems will result in the development of several clusters, making the management of the entire infrastructure more challenging.
MicroK8s comes to the rescue, as it serves as a bridge between edge...
