There are many new innovative technologies, such as IoT, connected cars, and others that require enormous amounts of data to be transferred in real time to a master location or server, but this is too difficult to do currently. Because of this dilemma in handling such large amounts of data, a new method has emerged - edge computing.
The new model for real-time data transfer is to create mini clouds, called edges and have them transfer data to the master location which just collects analytics from each edge device. This model also requires new methods of management and orchestration: coupled (with constant internet connection) and decoupled (with intermittent internet connection).
Open source TOSCA orcehstration implements both methods, with the ability to be used as both the orchestrator of the master location and edge device with a low footprint.
In this talk, we will explain how TOSCA orchestration can be used in both the delegation and local methods as well as discuss a real use case of such an implementation at a satellite company.
