基于KubeEdge的云边协同技术架构的探索

Exploration of the Integrated Cloud-Edge Synergy Architecture Based on KubeEdge

云计算协同边缘计算成为发展的重要趋势,而目前云边协同或称为云边一体的技术架构尚处于发展的初期阶段。由于云计算和边缘计算面对的计算资源和存储资源不同,其对于算法的速度、内存占用和能效的要求存在不同的要求,现有的一些工具不能同时满足云计算和边缘计算的要求,无法体现出云边一体的协同效应。在华为提供的开源计算平台KubeEdge最新的v0.2版本中,引入了云组件用于连接并形成回路,通过一致且可伸缩的基于Kubernetes的接口,KubeEdge支持边缘集群的编排和管理。这为快速高效地将云计算能力推向边缘提供了可能。

The coordinated development of cloud computing and edge computing has become an important trend in the future.However,the current technology architecture based on cloud-edge synergy is still in the early stage of development.Because cloud computing and edge computing apply different computing resources and storage resources,they have different requirements for algorithm speed,memory usage and energy efficiency.Some existing tools cannot meet the different requirements of cloud computing and edge computing at the same time.KubeEdge,an open source computing platform donated by Huawei,introduced cloud components for connecting and forming loops in the latest v0.2 release.KubeEdge supports the orchestration and management of edge clusters through a consistent and scalable Kubernetes-based interface.This makes it possible to develop cloud computing into the edge computing quickly and efficiently.
