Why Use #Kubernetes for #IoT? Link to the original article of embedded.com, and one of Altoros on #KubeEdge in the comments. The image is from Altoros. The Embedded.com article also contains a Quick Tutorial: Deploying a Demo IoT Application with KubeEdge. Here are some of the key advantages of Kubernetes for IoT use cases: - Scalability and Portability: With potentially millions of devices connected and communicating, scalability becomes a significant concern. Kubernetes is a game-changer for IoT, making it possible to automatically manage resources and ensure optimal performance even as the number of devices grows. Plus, you can deploy your IoT applications on any system—edge, local, private cloud, or public cloud, and move them to another environment when needed. - Support for CI/CD: In IoT, continuous delivery and deployment are essential. Kubernetes can help by providing automated rollouts and rollbacks of applications. These features allow developers to frequently update applications with minimal risk and downtime, at large scale and across multiple runtime environments. - Simplified Device Management: Kubernetes simplifies this process with its powerful device management capabilities. It provides a unified API to manage and monitor all devices, regardless of their location or type. Moreover, Kubernetes’ declarative approach to configuration management simplifies device management even more. KubeEdge is an open-source system extending native containerized application orchestration and device management to hosts at the edge, bringing the power of Kubernetes from the cloud to the edge, providing a consistent and optimized experience for developers and users alike.
