Roadmap

Networking

  • Integrate edge devices into cluster network (working on)
    • Kubernetes will assign a pod address pool for the virtual node
    • arhat'role
      • Create DNS/hosts records for Kubernetes services in edge devices.
      • Create network listeners for these services.
      • Create an iptables/ipvs based proxy to redirect local network traffic to arhat listeners.
      • Redirect data received from listeners to aranya.
    • aranya's role
      • Receive application data transmitted by arhat.
      • Find and establish network connection(s) to the in cluster services, redirect the application traffic to it.
    • Then we can:
      • Improve the cloud secuirty by accessing cloud services without any thing in cluster exposed to public Internet.
      • Improve the robustness of edge devices by always using DNS names.

Connectivity

  • gRPC (already supported)
  • MQTT (working on)
    • MQTT is the protocol designed to save IoT devices from synchronized TCP communications with a pub/sub model, this model presents new challenge to us for realtime sequential communication such as shell execution in remote edge device.
  • CoAP (no plan for now)
    • Due to the same reason for MQTT, even worse with UDP.
  • Cap'n Proto (RPC) (no plan for now)
    • no schedule for now

Container Runtime

  • docker (already supported)
    • docker is the most common container runtime, most developer familiar them with Linux container for the first time thanks to the help of docker
    • Docker CE is available for multiple system platforms and computer archs, including Linux arm/arm64 and macOS, which is nice if you want to get arhat up and running without any deep dive into container world.
  • containerd (working on)
    • containerd is the real docker runtime do container related jobs, it's light weighted.
    • containerd's official release currently lacks multi-platform builds.
  • podman (working on)
    • podman is the container runtime maintained by RedHat, with Pod model which is designed by CoreOS
    • podman can be embedded into arhat but only Linux host will be supported
  • cri (no plan for now)
    • cri represents Container Runtime Interface which is the container runtime api definition designed for Kubernetes
