Their tech stack is far more bleeding edge than I would have envisioned. I wish they gave an idea of why they chose to use k8s at the edge. I can see how containers are useful for deployment, and the fail-over built into Kubernetes is really nice, but I'm shocked that's the simplest/best way to do it at the edge.

I would have expected some VMWare product, just because it's "enterprisey". Shame on me for judging.

Deployments and monitoring are probably another draw. Same tools server and edge side.

Another project to keep an eye on is AWS's Greengrass which has a bunch of capability overlap, but a bunch of new ideas for edge and fog IoT also. I had a mixed experience with it but at least some ideas bear borrowing.
