    Abstract

    EdgeNet is a globally-distributed edge cloud testbed. It aims to provide an experimentation platform to computer networks and distributed systems researchers. However, distributed testbed providers encounter difficulties with node provisioning, access, and maintenance when establishing an edge cloud con-sisting of ubiquitous nodes. EdgeNet extends Kubernetes to the edge and addresses these challenges. Employing such an industry-standard container orchestration system enables researchers to straightforwardly deploy experiments across many vantage points, maximizing their time for collecting and analyzing measurement data. This paper introduces three features regarding federation, home networks, and node deployment integrated into Kubernetes to handle the issues aforementioned with a free and open-source code. We also discuss remote node maintenance as future work.
