## Background Over recent years, Edge computing has been gaining popularity as it defines a model that brings compute and storage closer to where they are consumed by the end-user. 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 ## Project Mentors Alex Mattioli Nicolas Vazquez Pearl Dsilva -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
