Summary

This onboarding section is for you when are new to IPCEI-CIS subproject 'Edge Developer Framework (EDF)' and you want to know about

  • and why we think it's the stuff we need to care about in the EDF

Storyline of our current project plan (2024)

  1. We have the 'Edge Developer Framework'

    3. Platforms have a history since roundabout 2019
    4. CNCF has a working group which created capabilities and a maturity model
  3. Platforms evolve - nowadys there are Platform Orchestrators
    1. Humanitec set up a Reference Architecture
    2. There is this 'Orchestrator' thing - declaratively describe, customize and change platforms!
  4. Mapping our assumptions to the CNOE solution
    1. CNOE is a hot candidate to help and fulfill our platform building
    2. CNOE aims to embrace change and customization!
  5. Showtime CNOE
