cloud-provider-edge

This project aims to provide an Kubernetes 'cloud provider' for edge computing.

It provides the interface between a Kubernetes cluster and other services usually available in edge scenarios.

These often means nodes behind a home or corporate network behind a router acting as Internet gateway device (IGD), like a DSL or optic fiber router.

The functionality provided is limited, but it is expected to evolve to cover more cases.

Features

• Provision, monitor and remove Intenet gateway port mappings necessary to allow Kubernetes services to be reached from Internet.

Usage

Check edge-cloud-controller-manager and examples

Roadmap

With no particular order:

• Add more documentation
• Add tests
• Test against more scenarios and gateways devices.
• Add more cloud provider interfaces aside of LoadBalancer.
