About {product-title}
Use MicroShift to run single-node Kubernetes workloads directly on resource-constrained edge devices. Integrating MicroShift with edge-optimized operating systems overcomes severe networking and physical constraints.
Working with resource-constrained field environments and hardware presents many challenges not experienced with cloud computing. MicroShift enables you to solve problems for edge devices by:
-
Running the same Kubernetes workloads you run in the cloud, but at the edge.
-
Overcoming the operational challenge of minimal system resources.
-
Addressing the environmental challenges of severe networking constraints such as low or no connectivity.
-
Meeting the physical constraint of hard-to-access locations by installing your system images directly on edge devices.
-
Building on and integrating with edge-optimized operating systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Edge (RHEL for Edge).
MicroShift has the simplicity of single-node deployment with the functions and services you need for computing in resource-constrained locations. You can have many deployments on different hosts, creating the specific system image needed for each of your applications.
