A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.
MicroClouds serve compute near consumers, wherever they may be bringing power of the cloud anywhere you need it! MicroClouds are highly available by default, so a minimum of 3 systems are needed. They can easily extend in site size and scale from a small 3-node to a larger 12-node cluster. MicroCloud contain the best of breed open-soruce components: LXD, Ceph and OVN!
What are MicroCloud use cases?
You can use them as a part of your edge computing strategy or for your small scale private cloud needs. What’s more? You can also use them for simulated testing of a complex infrastructure as MicroClouds are lightweight and can be deployed on a single workstation.
