Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for creating and managing hybrid clouds including both standard compute nodes and edge devices. Edge devices can be enrolled in a hybrid cloud by deploying a lightweight container to the edge device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying an edge device in network communication with a cloud extension component of a managed hybrid cloud;
- deploying a lightweight management container to the edge device, the lightweight management container sharing a common control plane with a standard management container used on a traditional compute node in the managed hybrid cloud;
- and
- enrolling the edge device in the managed hybrid cloud using the lightweight management container.

A system, comprising:
- a cloud extension component of a managed hybrid cloud, the cloud extension component configured to communicate with edge devices and traditional compute nodes,
- the cloud extension component deploys a standard management container to traditional compute nodes,
- the cloud extension component deploys a lightweight management container to the edge devices, the lightweight management container sharing a common control plane with the standard management container used on a traditional compute node in the managed hybrid cloud, the lightweight management container enrolls the edge device in the managed hybrid cloud.
A system comprising a processor and computer readable media storing instructions configured to:
- identify an edge device in network communication with a cloud extension component of a managed hybrid cloud;
- deploy a lightweight management container to the edge device, the lightweight management container sharing a common control plane with a standard management container used on a traditional compute node in the managed hybrid cloud;
- and
- enroll the edge device in the managed hybrid cloud using the lightweight management container.
