Title: Edge ain't your gramp's IoT: design an implementation of a modern Edge Computing Platform

Abstract: Connecting IoT devices to the Internet is not new but
deploying and running real-time edge apps at hyperscale using these
devices is. IoT is making the world cyber-physical, making computing
ubiquitous, and making cloud-native apps live life on the edge forever
unshackled from the confines of a datacenter. Edge Computing evolves
Cloud Computing by keeping what's great about the Cloud model
(developer friendly APIs and Software-defined everything) yet applying
it in the harsh physical and security environment of sensors and
ruggedized industrial PCs. In this talk we will cover design and
implementation of a novel Edge Computing platform created at ZEDEDA
Inc. We will focus on new, special purpose, open source operating
environment that has to securely run on billions of ARM and x86
device. Based on Linuxkit, this operating environment completely
replaces the need for embedded Linux or any special purpose RTOS
systems and instead allows them to run side-by-side. We will give
hands on examples of how anyone can start using this operating
environment or, perhaps, even port it to the device of their choosing.
