Edgeworker is a new personality of node introduced in stx.5.0 [1]_. Ubuntu
is supported for a node with edgeworker personality as its operating system [2]_.
Edgeworkers are typically small systems running dedicated workloads that can now
be managed by |prod|.
Edgeworker is a new node personality introduced in |prod| R5.0 [[1]_].
Edgeworkers are typically small systems running dedicated workloads that can
now be managed by |prod|. To use the edgeworker personality, nodes must have
the Ubuntu operating system installed [[2]_].
The edgeworker personality is targeted for nodes with below criteria:
The edgeworker personality is targeted for nodes that meet one or more of the
following criteria:
- A node is running a customized OS, or
- A node is running a Type1 hypervisor, or
- A node does not meet |prod| worker’s minimum requirements.
- A node that is running a customized OS, or
- A node that is running a Type1 hypervisor, or
- A node that does not meet |prod| worker’s minimum requirements.
These nodes can be added to a running |prod| cluster in minutes. During the
provisioning stage, Kubernetes components will be provisioned on the edgeworker
nodes.
The |prod| controller manages edgeworker nodes as normal worker nodes including
the following functionalities:
The |prod| controller manages edgeworker nodes using the same mechanisms as
typical worker nodes, including the following:
- Container orchestration by Kubernetes
- Distributed storage cluster management by Rook-ceph

..[2] The OS of an edgeworker node is not installed by |prod| controller,instead, a node with installed OS is required prior to the node provisioning step. Only Ubuntu is supported in stx.5.0.
