MicroK8s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, and ngrok, a secure universal gateway, are powerful combinations for hosting and accessing edge-based workloads. MicroK8s provides a full-featured Kubernetes distribution that can run on low-resource environments, making it well-suited for edge compute devices. ngrok simplifies providing edge access to edge computing workloads by automating and standardizing network access. The combination of MicroK8s and ngrok helps address challenges in edge computing such as managing distributed infrastructure, ensuring security and data privacy, and optimizing performance. By leveraging ngrok's standardized platform, developers can reduce friction in deploying and managing access and security concerns, while also providing a secure and scalable universal gateway to workloads.
