Edge Computing
The delivery of computing capabilities to the logical extremes of a network in
order to improve the performance, operating cost and reliability of
applications and services. By shortening the distance between devices and the
resources that serve them, and also reducing network hops, edge computing
mitigates the latency and bandwidth constraints of today's Internet, ushering in
new classes of applications.

StarlingX
StarlingX is an open source, complete cloud infrastructure software stack for
the edge used by the most demanding applications in industrial IoT, telecom,
and other use cases. The platform creates a fusion between OpenStack and
Kubernetes to provide a robust and flexible environment for all kinds of
workloads, let them be containerized, virtualized or bare metal.
