As cloud architectures continues to gain prominence, it is extending from cloud all the way to the device edge. There are many benefits to device and edge in cloud software infrastructure, but there are also differentiated challenges- a UI for example! The prevalence of this migration to device with cloud software is seen across LF Edge projects. Many folks are looking to bring the exceptionally popular device operating system, Android, to these cloud architectures in either VM or Containerized implementations. This drive for workload consolidation and convergence presents enormous opportunities ( >2M app ecosystem, robust tooling, Google services) as well as challenges (certification, performance tuning, security). We will review LF Edge projects and pathfinding development done with AOSP and show demos of Android in a variety of scenarios.
