“Isn't edge just a small cloud?” “Containers? You mean Kubernetes?” “Edge Computing, that's all about latency, right?” Confusion is unavoidable in a nascent market, and as a matter of fact, an important driver of innovation. After countless conversations and deployments, we decided to round up the top 5 most common confusions we've heard, and still hear about edge computing. And clear them up once and for all. Here’s what we cover: ▶︎ The diverse set of definitions of "edge" ▶︎ Why Kubernetes ≠ containers ▶︎ Why offline beats latency every time ▶︎ Why telcos don’t own the edge ▶︎ How conversations can take a humorous turn when you mistake software containers for shipping containers 💜 If you’ve ever wondered where the edge actually is (and what makes it an important value driver for enterprises), this one’s for you.

The future of IT infrastructure isn’t about choosing between cloud and edge; it’s about unifying them. Our recent article explores how a unified infrastructure strategy simplifies management and operations. It bridges the gap between different workload-hosting environments, including cloud, IoT, and our very own favorite: #edge. A simplified distributed IT infrastructure provides better consistency, visibility, and control. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dh9Ttim6

As organizations adopt edge computing, they are bound to quickly encounter the terms automation and orchestration. These concepts are often confused, yet they play distinctly different roles in managing on-premise applications. So. Can you tell the difference? In this article, we will define each term, compare their differences, and explore how they work together to make edge environments more reliable and efficient. We cover: ▶︎ Automation vs Orchestration: The key difference ▶︎ Benefits of using automation and orchestration together ▶︎ The future of Automation and Orchestration Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d8JJh-rV #automation #orchestration #edgecomputing #edge #containers

We are continuing to celebrate the fact that we're turning 5 this year! Along with these postcards from our recent birthday party, here are 3 observations from our first 5 years in Edge Computing: ▶︎ An opinionated approach wins: Problem first, solution second. Define your position clearly before building. Success comes from deeply understanding the customer’s hardest problems, not from chasing buzzwords or bending your product to every potential use case. Kubernetes, we're talking to you. ▶︎ Build trust in a market lacking the comfort of pioneers to follow In a category without established leaders, credibility comes from consistency and transparency. We must deliver clear messaging, inspiring storytelling, and a tangible, trustworthy experience. ▶︎ Which edge are we talking about? A taxonomy soup Edge computing means different things to different people. To cut through the confusion, as a vendor, we need a comprehensive definition, one that resonates and guides the customer roadmap toward real, differentiated value. We are proud to call ourselves a leading vendor in the domain of platforms for managing and operating applications at the edge. Thanks to all of our partners and customers who joined us for this celebration in Stockholm! We appreciate you all! 💙💜🩷

Zero-touch provisioning has long been a familiar concept in networking. But if you're not using it at the edge, you're missing out. In our latest article, we explore how zero-touch provisioning redefines the way we deploy and manage distributed edge environments. When edge sites can configure and onboard themselves in a secure and automated manner, it transforms both the speed and reliability of operations. From industrial IoT to retail use cases, scaling edge environments depends on removing manual steps without compromising control. Zero-touch provisioning makes that possible.

Today, we want to do a shoutout for Johannes! He’s a Senior Developer at Avassa and a firm believer in the power of data-driven design. From CLIs to keyboards, Johannes brings a thoughtful, no-nonsense approach to building tools that developers actually enjoy using. We asked him what parts of the platform he finds most satisfying. 👤 Name: Johannes Holmberg 🛠 Favorite part of the code & why: “The supctl command-line interface generator. It’s entirely data-driven and when new API endpoints are added, there’s no need to update supctl. The commands just appear and work™. It’s a clean and maintainable way to extend the interface without extra boilerplate.” 🧠 Most mind-boggling feature: “Tab completion in supctl. Bash tab completion in general is mind-boggling (and not always in the good way), but supctl manages to make it work well in both bash and zsh. It’s genuinely helpful and makes the tool much more pleasant to use.” ⌨ Keyboard and editor preference: “For editing, I've always been partial to jed, but it lacks an Erlang mode, so I often resort to its somewhat bloated cousin, emacs. My favorite keyboard is the Macintosh Plus keyboard (M0110A), but seeing as it is not really practical for daily work, I mostly rely on a Ducky One 3 Mini. Clearly, there is no one optimal setup, and true happiness can only be achieved through using a lot of different computers.” What is Meet the Team? Our Engineering team is the true core of this company. We don’t see them in this feed often enough, so we’re welcoming some of them into the spotlight for a chance to get to know the people behind the Avassa Edge Platform a little better.

For too long, edge computing has been driven by infrastructure: hardware, networks, clusters. But the real power lies in what runs on top of it. In this recent article, we explore the shift from applying an infrastructure-first to an application-first worldview in edge computing, and why it matters for developers, operations teams, and business results. From seamless site onboarding to scale-resilient deployments, the future belongs to platforms built around (and for) the application. Dive in if you’re curious how this new paradigm redefines day-0, day-1, and day-2 at the edge: https://lnkd.in/dp3smPPU #softwaredefined #edgecomputing #applicationcentric #edge #containers

We see growing interest in deploying applications inside restricted OT networks, where strict ISA-95 segmentation principles apply, and sometimes get asked a fair question: "Can it be done?" Spoiler alert: In the Avassa Edge Platform, it can! Our latest tech blog demonstrates how we facilitate application orchestration across segmented industrial networks using Edge Enforcer proxies, ensuring secure, controlled, and compliant communication with one-way connectivity rules. Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/dvF_AxPa Oh, and if you can't get enough of this topic, we highly recommend registering for our webinar happening next week on the topic of: ISA-95 Ready: Multi-Layer Proxying for Edge Deployments Made Easy 💡 Link for signing up is in the comments. #IndustrialIoT #EdgeComputing #OTsecurity #ISA95 #purdue

In the battle between Fog Computing vs Edge Computing, it's safe to say we have a winner 🥇 For years, fog computing held promise as the bridge between cloud and devices, filtering, aggregating, and easing network load. But today, you rarely hear about it anymore. Instead, edge computing has become the standard for real-time, data-intensive applications. To understand why, it's important to understand how the two technologies differ and what value they bring to the table. In our latest article, we walk through: ▶︎ What fog computing was designed to do, and why it failed to achieve widespread adoption ▶︎ How edge computing evolved to take over, thanks to advances in hardware, simplicity, and enterprise alignment ▶︎ The remnants of “fog” in modern layered cloud/edge designs, and what that means for future architectures In a world pushing toward low latency, local decision making, and scalable Edge AI pipelines, knowing why edge dominates isn’t just a history lesson. It shapes how you build your infrastructure today.
