Optimizing Cloud features for the Edge Deployments

When it comes to deployment of Cloud and Networking infrastructure at the Edge the requirements are quite different primarily steered by ruggedness and all different form factors that are expected at edge . E.g claiming a Cloud solution is good but how it will fit in to wall mount and on #Australia blue mountains is key architecture question that again in only 4U space . This require holistic analysis of cloud features with infrastructure mapping , as example with #Dell and #RedHat as follows

1. 3 node OCP cluster with shared management and workload nodes
2. Remote compute node support based on RT Kernel
3. Support hybrid workloads with CNV (Container native Virtualization)
4. DPDK and SRIOV for data Apps at the edge including 5G NPN
5. Local storage operator support
6. Keptn support for DevOps for Edge sites including support for workload placement and optimization
7. Tekton Pipelines CI/CD
8. Above all use of SDN through compute infrastructure avoiding use of standalone switches in Edge sites like for
8a. UPI using OVS
8b. IPI using OVN
