  1. Surprise IoT Developer Survey Results Preview

The 2020 Eclipse IoT Developer Survey contained edge related questions for the first time. Frédéric Desbiens gave attendees a preview of the survey results for these questions. This part of the meeting was not recorded. The full survey results are scheduled to be published in September 2020.


  1. Relative positioning with LF Edge - especially Horizon & Eve

    2.1 Project Eve — Frédéric Desbiens

Frédéric Desbiens delivered a brief overview of project Eve.

Project Eve presents itself as “an open edge computing engine that enables the development, orchestration and security of cloud-native and legacy applications on distributed edge compute nodes.” On its GitHub repository, which has not seen activity since May 2019, the project states that “EVE has direct access to and control of underlying resources and provides standard APIs that allow more efficient use of resources and can effectively partition hardware to increase workload consolidation and application multi-tenancy.” Eve leverages Xen, Linuxkit and Alpine Linux among other dependencies.

Project Eve is fairly ambitious in scope, and its feature set is not tied together by a central construct such as ioFog’s edge compute network or Fog05’s unified fabric. Moreover, it seems that the open source version is just provided as a reference, with potential production users directed to commercial implementations. For the time being, only Zededa seems to be providing one.

Given the lack of activity and the fact that the open source version is not production quality nor commercial grade, it is difficult to see Eve as a serious alternative to ioFog and Fog05.

2.2 LF Edge Akraino ELIOT — Khemendra kumar (follow-up discussion)


Khemendra Kumar revisited his presentation from the July 8, 2020 meeting to explore which Eclipse technologies could be considered for inclusion in the Akraino ELIOT blueprint and implementation. At this point, Eclipse hawkBit, Eclipse Kura, Eclipse Hono and Eclipse Ditto are the most likely candidates.
