Edge Computing makes the connection broader, faster and more agile, meanwhile it also brings the threat of cyberattacks to the edge of the network, which also puts forward higher requirements for the safety at the edge side.
In addition, due to any forms like Internet, 5G, WIFI and other forms are possible, the network environment will be complex and the quality can't be guaranteed in the edge scnee. Therefore, supporting weak network environments which is also a challenge at edge site.
KubeEdge is a cloud-edge collaborative architecture project for Kubernetes native edge computing. KubeEdge uses its own trusted tunnel to ensure the security of data transmission, it verifies, encrypts and authenticates all communications in this tunnel. This tunnel ensures data accessibility through QoS and provides a QUIC protocol to improve the performance of network reordering in weak networks. We will share how the tunnel of KubeEdge achieves these goals in this session.
