Beyond Kubernetes: Exploring Lightweight Orchestration Systems for Edge Computing

Watch a 19-minute conference talk exploring alternatives to Kubernetes for emerging workload orchestration, particularly in edge computing scenarios where resources are limited. Delve into the potential of designing lightweight orchestration systems using Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) based on Python, including Mojo, an AI-oriented programming language. Learn about the challenges of Kubernetes' growing complexity and resource consumption, while discovering how alternative solutions using WebAssembly (Wasm) and eBPF workloads could provide more efficient orchestration. Follow speaker Feng Li through four key areas: production-scale Python project implementation insights, orchestration requirements for emerging technologies like Wasm and AI, the application of Python-based DSLs in new orchestration systems, and preliminary findings in developing lightweight orchestration solutions for modern computing needs.
