LF EDGE EXPERT LED PANEL - lfedge.org
For IoT to succeed in these edge devices, the currently fragmented edge market needs to be able to work together to identify and protect against problematic security vulnerabilities and advance a common, constructive vision for the future of the industry.
LF Edge is part of this solution. It is an umbrella organization to establish an open, interoperable framework for edge computing independent of hardware, silicon, cloud, or operating system, will help ensure greater harmonization to accelerate deployment and bridge the gaps in the open source technologies to support the emerging Edge use cases. LF Edge projects like Akraino, Baetyl, EdgeX Foundry, Fledge, Home Edge, Open Glossary of Edge Computing and Project EVE have use cases from Industrial, Enterprise and Consumer spanning multiple edges and domains and address specific needs of the industry and complement each other to support a cohesive solution.
