EdgeIR Fireside Chat: Avassa and making edge application management easier
In a new Edge Industry Review Fireside Chat interview, EdgeIR spoke with Carl Moberg, CTO of Avassa, about the evolution of enterprise computing and the emergence of a cloud-to-edge topology for enterprise architecture.
Avassa is helping to simplify application lifecycle management and monitoring with an easy-to-use solution that manages distributed applications across distributed on-premises edge environments.
The conversation started with a discussion of the two core challenges facing application teams when trying to deploy applications to the edge. The first is understanding what it takes to deploy applications across many different locations. The second is understanding what it means to monitor and observe applications running in many different locations.
Another topic of discussion: the emerging field of platform engineering which focuses on providing a comfortable onboarding and feature environment for application teams. It is proposed that platform engineering could be the ‘orchestrator of orchestrators’ that ties together centralized components with distributed edge components
