KubeEdge

KubeEdge is a CNCF graduated project that extends Kubernetes to edge computing. It provides infrastructure support for networking, application deployment, and metadata synchronization between cloud and edge. KubeEdge enables containerized application orchestration at the edge with offline autonomy, ensuring edge nodes continue functioning when disconnected from the cloud.

KubeEdge publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Cloud Native, Edge Computing, Graduated, IoT, and Kubernetes.

KubeEdge’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 2 more developer resources.
