Bringing Modern Automation to The Industrial Edge
The Industrial Edge, such as manufacturing, warehousing, and global logistics, Operational Technologies (OT) have long utilized technologies that enable automation via protocols that are not commonly seen nor adopted via traditional Information Technology (IT). However, rapid innovation in automation capabilities in IT has exponentially outpaced that of OT. In this talk chAdam AKA Adam Miller, Distinguished Engineer/Architect for Ansible and Chad Ferman, Ansible Product Manager will discuss how Ansible Automation Platform is bridging the gap and bringing the power of Ansible Automation to the Industrial Edge for both IT and OT. With the recent introduction of the comminity.cip collection, Ansible can now communicate with and manage programmable logic controllers that run manufacturing lines, oil wells, HVAC systems, and roller coasters. Come learn about how Ansible is transforming edge automation by communicating with a whole new class of devices.

Driving Edge Automation with Events
Managing devices at the edge can be hard, especially when dealing with anomalies and potential configuration drifts happening due to the nature of the environment (air-gapped, limited connectivity, etc).
Here's where event-driven automation with Ansible can come to the rescue, providing a set of capabilities to allow recovery and maintenance of the devices based on observable and trackable events.
During this session, we will have the chance to see how event-driven automation with Ansible can be leveraged at the edge and how easy it is to get started handling events and anomalies that can arise.

Zenoh : Easing Data Distribution for the Continuum
A single communication protocol stretching across the spectrum from the embedded devices to the cloud, with a programming framework that provides valuable abstractions, will facilitate application programming across the continuum. Eclipse Zenoh is a pub/sub/query protocol unifying data in motion, data at rest, and computations. Zenoh is easy to use, with convenient abstractions for distributing, computing, querying, and storing data. It supports highly constrained devices and the powerful cloud while being data-centric and location transparent. Zenoh provides extremely low latency and high throughput and is energy efficient. Built on top of Zenoh, Eclipse Zenoh-Flow is a data-flow programming framework that eases the development of applications distributed across the device-edge-cloud continuum. This workshop will guide the participants through foundational and advanced concepts of Zenoh and Zenoh-Flow to enable them to start writing their applications using both frameworks.

Resiliency at the Edge
Sending an IT professional to check on an unresponsive sensor device after an upgrade at the top of the Everest may be tricky and expensive. Devices at the Edge are often located in remote or not easily accesible locations. Making sure devices run smoothly with little hands-on maintainance is paramount at the Edge. To keep things operational, the greenboot projects takes care of running health checks during the startup process, making sure applications, services and programs running on the OS are fully functional as they should. If these conditions aren't met, greenboot has the ability to revert the OS to a previous working state. In this talk the audience will learn about the greenboot framework, how to write an health check and a demo of how it works as well as a future roadmap.

Quick booting a software defined rear-view camera
In automotive, there are strict requirements to boot a rear-view camera quickly. Existing approaches use firmware-based techniques to display a rear-view camera quickly. Although this firmware-based approach works, it is difficult to maintain, hardware-specific, it is not software-defined.

This libcamera-powered approach, provides an optimised software defined technique to do this, which is easier to maintain, using open-source frameworks. We use libcamera to process frames quickly and a plymouth-like approach to display camera frames quickly.

We will demo and describe the techniques used in order to achieve this.

We will also go through some general tips of how to start an early boot service which may be useful to some.

Virtio data flow: There and Back Again
Understanding how data travels between the guest userspace all the way to the host kernel and back can be challenging at first. Going from the different virtqueue areas, the backend initialization, protocol feature negotiation sequence, to the actual buffer exchange, there is a lot to understand, with many players involved.
But fear not! In this talk we will try to unravel these aspects of the journey, and follow data from a real virtio device throughout all its journey… and back again!

Trust-based Adaptive Access Control Architecture
The coordination and collaboration of different systems within an autonomous ecosystem require a high level of trust, which is often difficult to establish, especially in the presence of potentially malicious actors. We propose a new software architecture that leverages digital twin simulation for live compliance checking to determine the trustworthiness of smart agents running on autonomous systems. This trust-based approach provides a more robust and secure way of enabling collaboration between different member systems within an ecosystem. We will delve into the technical details of the proposed trust-based adaptive safety system, including the use of digital twin simulation, trust evaluation, and feature exposure. We will also discuss the potential practical applications of this architecture, particularly how it might be integrated into Kubernetes.

Fedora IoT device onboarding with FDO and Ignition
One of the key problems of operating systems made for Edge devices is trying to securely provision the device with the configuration that it needs before it boots. This problem is known as “Onboarding”.

In Fedora IoT we provide two ways to tackle this problem: FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) and Ignition. FDO is a onboarding protocol developed by industry leaders, with a focus on security and late binding. Ignition is a self-contained provisioning utility designed to run during the first boot of a system and has been developed by Red Hat.

In this talk the audience will learn how Fedora IoT solves the onboarding problem using open source software, as well as the latest capabilities and use cases of FDO and Ignition. Moreover we will cover the upcoming features that are expected for both FDO and Ignition.

Stream Processing at the Edge with Apache Kafka
Running workloads at the edge is becoming more and more popular. When done right, it can lead to improved performance and resiliency of your applications or help to save costs. One of the edge workloads can be Apache Kafka and data stream processing. This talk will explain what exactly “edge” means when talking about Apache Kafka, what advantages you can expect from it, what are the possible use cases, and explain how you can push the processing results to the “cloud” or pull data from the cloud to the edge location in a secure fashion. It will also show why Kubernetes is the right choice for running Kafka at the edge and how you can manage it on the edge locations using GitOps. The talk will include a demo of how you can use Kubernetes, Strimzi, and Apache Kafka to collect data from IoT devices, process them at the edge and push them to the cloud.

Open connected healthcare with Red Hat Edge Portfolio
The recent outbreak of covid exposed the many shortcomings of most of the healthcare systems around the world. Unfortunately, most hospitals can’t allocate a huge budget to IT but they are becoming nonetheless huge, heterogeneous data centers. And not only do they need to interface legacy medical devices, but they also are expected to protect your personal information to the highest industry standards.
Some of these challenges are addressed by adopting wide 5g connectivity, but that’s just part of the solution. A comprehensive Edge strategy is the missing piece needed to deliver solutions such as widespread telehealth solutions, allowing the elderly and immunosuppressed to stay in the comfort of home, while optimizing nurse time and scheduling.
During this session, we will demonstrate how to automate the deployment of platforms and applications on edge devices using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management. We will show how to maintain observability and governance of the deployed infrastruc

Hirte - Multi-node service orchestration for edge
The automotive industry is evolving rapidly. Among all the changes happening in this sector, container technology is considered to be a key enabler for the so-called Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). Existing container orchestration tools are designed for environments like private or public clouds where constraints such as reaching a target state eventually apply. Safety-critical systems such as cars, however, impose a quite different set of requirements on the tooling.
With this in mind, we would like to introduce hirte - a multi-node service orchestrator for deterministic systems with limited resources such as edge devices.

Meet Kairos, the linux meta-distribution for edge
In this talk, we are going to introduce Kairos, an open-source project aimed at building immutable Operating Systems designed for edge computing, with a toolset simplifying operations at the edge, in a cloud-native way.
Kairos acts as an engine delivering immutable Kubernetes-enabled Linux OS from OCI conformant container images. It provides unique capabilities, such as VPN peer-to-peer mesh, distributed ledger to automate Kubernetes cluster bootstrapping and coordination, and zero-touch provisioning with a QR code scan. But more importantly, it does its magic using a declarative model backed by Kubernetes CRDs.
After explaining Kairos foundations and concepts, we will demonstrate its capabilities live, with a guaranteed “wow” effect, if the demo gods agree!

CAN Bus in Control, Automotive and Satellites
The talk will start with an overview of CAN bus support in the GNU/Linux ecosystem based on our 30 years of experience with the hardware and software side of technology. Our LinCAN based solution has served for more than ten years in many applications. When SocketCAN emerged, we helped to port our knowledge and algorithms to it. We have worked latency on testing on initial requests coming from Volkswagen Research and developed multiple generations of test systems and diagnostic tools. CTU CAN FD IP core available in VHDL source form is used not only in such testing applications but even in scientific satellite payloads and many more. We are working on continuous latency testing for mainline and fully-preemptive kernel variants now and plan to cooperate and integrate our effort with Quality assurance of processors and boards at the OSADL QA Farm.

How to Qualify a Safe Linux Distribution in Cars
The Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System (RHIVOS) is an OSTree variant of RHEL with increased safety measures required for Functional Safety Certification. The V&V strategy incorporates various techniques from ISO26262 which complement existing processes today in RHEL. By using Polarion for Requirements and Test assets management, our work items are bi-directionally traceable and version controlled with unique IDs that remain unchanged throughout the life cycle of the product. Our unique approach for Manpage derived requirements testing aligns with how a particular part of the operating system should behave. Using both automated workflows and leveraging existing tests from RHEL will help us scale across all APIs in the safety scope. The existing tooling and CoU (Conditions of Use) will allow us to identify any gaps in test coverage to understand where we should focus new test development efforts. Please join us to find out how we are ensuring our offering is safe to run in the car !

Trust Management in Digital Ecosystems
Digitalization is leading us toward ecosystems where systems, processes, data, and things are not only interacting with each other but might start forming societies on their own (e.g., forming Social Internet of Things). In these digital ecosystems, trust management on the level of system-to-system (or thing-to-thing) interaction becomes an essential ingredient to supervise the safe and secure progress of our digitalized future. In this talk (and its a bit futuristic outlook), we will look into the essential elements that need to be considered for proper trust management in complex digital ecosystems and discuss how trust-building can be leveraged to support people in safe interaction with other autonomous digital agents (e.g., self-driving cars, drones, and other robotic systems).
