Applications at edge environment can be platform dependent, complicated and distributed in regions, and the number of devices significantly increases. Our final goal is to create the infrastructure that can be applied to the entire environment crossing over the cloud and edge in common. Working with KubeEdge and Cilium, we are now successfully able to use Cilium with KubeEdge hosted nodes at edge environment. This means, enabling wireguard VPN with Cilium can provide the transparent network connectivity with the nodes running in the cloud infrastructure, so that edge nodes running at edge environment just appear to be a member of cluster system but with edge autonomy feature provided by KubeEdge. We would like to share our technical insights and experience with using Cilium at edge with KubeEdge, and what are the future development and contribution with Cilium community.
