Introduction

OpenYurt is the intelligent edge computing platform which aims to extend the Cloud Native ecosystem to edge computing and IoT scenarios. By making non-intrusive enhancements, it empowers customer to manage large scale edge computing workloads in different architecture (e.g., ARM and X86) in a native Kubernetes manner.

Edge computing has the characteristics of typical resource heterogeneity, large-scale, and multi-regional distribution. OpenYurt adopts an integrated cloud-edge-device architecture, which enables the unified management of massive edge resources and services in the cloud. On the one hand, it seamlessly integrates existing capabilities on the cloud such as elastic expansion, intelligent operation, logging, and DevOps, ensuring high availability of edge services.On the other hand, with the help of the cloud-edge-device integration channel, a large number of cloud-based capabilities, including middleware, security, AI, storage, and network management capabilities, are sunk to the edge, reducing the cost of self-construction of common cloud services on the edge side.

• Powerful edge service self-healing capability

• Rich edge service orchestration capability

For edge scenarios, OpenYurt pioneers the concept of Pool, which can manage the node resources, applications, and service traffic in a pool. At the resource level, the ability of NodePool is abstracted, and edge site resources can be classified and divided according to geographical distribution. At the application management level, a set of application deployment models, such as YurtAppSet, YurtAppDaemon, and edge ingress(YurtIngress) models, are designed. At the traffic service level, traffic can be accessed in a closed loop within the node pool.
