> h2. *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.
> h2. *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:
