Red Hat Device Edge Technical Overview, Part 1 - Introduction

Red Hat Device Edge provides a modular edge solution with a minimal footprint. Using Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud architecture, Red Hat Device Edge brings operational consistency and flexibility to customers deploying virtual or containerized workloads to resource-constrained edge devices in challenging field locations (e.g., drones, industrial controllers, point of sales terminals). Red Hat Device Edge aggregates an enterprise-ready, supported distribution of the Red Hat-led open source community project MicroShift (a lightweight Kubernetes project built from the edge capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift) along with an edge-optimized OS built from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With tools for both Day 1 device deployments and ongoing platform and workload operations, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform helps organizations quickly scale device and application life cycle management. In this technical overview series, you will learn more about the components of Red Hat Device Edge and how it is solving customer challenges across multiple industries. You will also see the platform in action through a series of live demonstrations.
