Building Ultra-Large-Scale Cloud Native Edge Systems Using Chaos Engineering

Learn how to build and maintain ultra-large-scale cloud native edge systems through chaos engineering principles in this conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Explore the critical challenges facing edge computing as technologies like 5G networks, industrial Internet, and AI drive digital transformation, including managing massive heterogeneous edge devices across unstable physical and network environments with limited bandwidth and high latency. Discover how KubeEdge, an open source edge computing framework, extends Kubernetes capabilities from central cloud to edge environments, enabling stable support for 100,000 edge nodes and management of over one million pods. Examine the key challenges of managing massive heterogeneous edge nodes and understand how ChaosMesh implementation enhances KubeEdge reliability in large-scale edge deployments. Gain insights into overcoming the complexities of building stable, large-scale edge computing platforms that can handle the diverse range of device types and challenging operational conditions inherent in edge computing environments.
