Full-Stack Edge Kubernetes for the AI Era
ZEDEDA Kubernetes App Flows is a full-stack edge Kubernetes-as-a-Service solution that extends a cloud-native deployment experience to distributed edge environments, by automating the entire edge application lifecycle – from packaging and configuration to delivery and observability – and eliminating the need to manually manage edge Kubernetes infrastructure.
Simplify
Streamline edge operations by delivering consistent app management across distributed locations, minimizing expensive manual intervention or truck rolls at each remote site.
Automate
Orchestrate large-scale edge infrastructure and application deployment – enforcing desired state for thousands of edge clusters, even with unreliable network connectivity.
Grow
Increase your revenue and efficiency by locating AI processing close to operational data sources, reducing expensive sensor data backhaul to the cloud.
Edge Kubernetes is Different
Kubernetes is a mature, proven technology for cloud deployments, and well-understood by many infrastructure teams. But you can’t use cloud Kubernetes tools for the edge.
Cloud Kubernetes
- Servers concentrated in data centers
- Small number of large clusters of servers
- Reliable, fast network connectivity
- Compute resources available on demand
Edge Kubernetes
- Edge devices geographically dispersed
- Large number of small clusters of devices
- Connectivity often slow or unreliable
- Compute constrained by small devices
