By being closer to the end-user a > better experience can be provided with reduction on overall latency, lower > bandwidth requirements, lower TCO, more flexible hardware/software model, > while also ensuring security and reliability. To align ACS with this evolving > cloud computing model we would like to propose an idea of supporting Edge > Zones in CloudStack, which > can be also looked upon as a lightweight zone, with minimal resources. > ## Requirement > Today, when a Zone is setup in CloudStack, it by default comes up with a > secondary storage VM(SSVM) and a console proxy VM(CPVM). As part of this > project, we would need to define a new zone type to decide the change in > workflow required to ensure that a CPVM & SSVM isn't spawned up by default. > Basic characteristics of an Edge zone include: > - no need for Secondary Storage > - no Secondary Storage VM > - no Console Proxy VM > - Local storage only as typically an edge device comprises of a single > compute node (host) > - And supports L2 and Isolated networks. > A high-level view of an edge zone would look something like: >  > ## Relevant Skills: > Java > MySQL > Vue.js (Basic) > ## Difficulty > Medium > ## Project Duration: > 175 hours > ## Potential Mentors > Alex Mattioli > Nicolas Vazquez > Pearl Dsilva > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
