18. What That Means with Camille: Orchestration at the Edge

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What That Means</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Camille’s tackling the big and broad topic of orchestration at the edge with guest Abdul Bailey, a Principal Engineer with Intel’s Internet of Things Group. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their convo touches on things like:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  What is included in the concept of orchestration</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  What the ‘edge’ is</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  How and why the security model changes with orchestration at the edge</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  ATM’s POS, programmable logic controllers, windmills, oil rigs, and other uses</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Network connectivity issues</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Workload prioritization</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  The Cloud Native Computing Foundation</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Machine learning</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Computer vision</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And more. Don’t miss it!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here are some key take-aways:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  There’s a complexity in an orchestration at the edge conversation that you won’t find in a data center style conversation because the security model is different.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Orchestration at the edge requires greater security because everything isn’t protected behind a wall. Some resources are out in the real world, away from those secure data centers. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  A higher level of intelligence, reaction time, and redundancy needs to be built in with orchestration at the edge. So that when a ‘parent’ device fails, another device in the area can take over that role immediately. </span><
