Description
A decade ago, the cloud computing landscape was defined by the "Pets vs. Cattle" debate, and the cattle paradigm emerged victorious. This shift toward treating servers as interchangeable, easily replaceable units paved the way for the current state of Cloud Native applications. Now, it's high time for edge computing to undergo a similar transformation. Traditionally, edge devices have been managed as unique, specialized entities—akin to pets rather than cattle. At Screenly, we're advancing the "Cattle Era" in edge computing with our Edge Apps solution. This software platform provides a flexible runtime environment for executing screen-related workloads such as kiosks and dashboards, streamlining their management at scale. In this presentation, we will delve into the architecture of Edge Apps and highlight how it harnesses the robust capabilities of Ubuntu Core to revolutionize edge device management.
