KubeEdge Examples is a collection of sample applications and demonstrations for the KubeEdge edge computing platform.
The repository addresses the need for practical reference implementations showing how to deploy and manage applications across cloud and edge environments using KubeEdge. It provides working examples that illustrate different use cases, from simple device control to complex data processing workflows. The examples span IoT scenarios including LED control on Raspberry Pi, Bluetooth device management, temperature data collection, and face detection pipelines that coordinate between cloud and edge nodes.
Developers adopting KubeEdge will find these examples most valuable when learning the platform's capabilities or prototyping edge applications. The collection suits teams building IoT solutions that require cloud-edge coordination, particularly those working with Raspberry Pi or similar edge devices. Some examples demonstrate integration with external systems like WeChat and Twitter for triggering edge actions, while others show data processing at the edge using Apache Beam or computer vision with OpenCV. Note that several IoT-related examples require physical hardware devices beyond a standard development environment.
The project maintains a diverse set of working demonstrations across multiple use cases, with examples covering device control, data collection, security integration through SPIRE, and cloud-edge coordination patterns. The repository includes implementations in Go and demonstrates practical patterns for common edge computing scenarios.
