Abstract
We’re all familiar with «cloud native» – but once we start to operate applications at the edge, we have to adopt a new set of principles and evolve our cloud-native paradigms. We deploy Apps at the edge to achieve lower latency or higher performance, to comply with data sovereignty regulations, to reduce transit cost or to perform near real-time decision-making on local data sources. Developing and operating Edge apps requires us to answer questions like: How do I operate Apps across 1000s of locations? How do I run computation heavy tasks, like AI apps, on a set of nodes with limited CPU and memory? How do I deal with a heterogeneous environment, with x86 and ARM-based devices? This session will address those questions and introduce the «edge native» paradigm. It will provide an understanding of how to design and operate Edge apps. A set of demos and example use-cases complements the conceptual discussion – making «edge native» a reality for the audience.

Frank is Distinguished Engineer in Cisco’s Emerging Technologies and Incubation group, driving software and architecture development for Edge platforms, solutions, associated services and applications. He is involved in several open-source projects and is a Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) board member. Frank is an active IETF member. There, his focus is the standardization of observability/OAM solutions (IOAM). Frank is a frequent speaker at conferences and events, including CiscoLive, where he is recognized as a “CiscoLive Hall-of-Fame Elite”, the highest speaker rank. Frank holds a diploma degree in Electrical Engineering (Aachen University) and a PhD/Dr degree in Information Science (University of Cologne). When looking to de-stress, Frank grabs his crampons and goes ice climbing in the Alps, Peru, or Argentina. Which for most people would be the opposite of de-stressing.
