 Hello everyone, I'm Ruchi Pakle, an LFX mentee at Open Horizon for the spring 2022 cohort and today I would be talking about my LFX mentorship experience. My talk is titled Roller Coaster Ride about my journey. My talk would basically be focusing on two things, a quick overview of my work followed by my LFX mentorship experience. So a little about me, I am a software engineer intern at Red Hat and a final year student at MGM's College of Engineering and Technology. You can reach out to me at Twitter and GitHub from here. So my talk would basically focusing on two things, a quick overview of my work followed by my LFX mentorship experience. So let's start with why I chose Open Horizon. So I was very interested in DevOps and cloud native technologies and I wanted to get started with them but have been procrastinating a lot and did not know how to pave my path ahead. I was constantly looking for opportunities that I can get my hands on. And as Open Horizon works exactly on DevOps and cloud native technologies, I straight away applied to that project and they had two slots open for the spring cohort. I joined the Eleven channel and started becoming active by contributing to the project, engaging with the community and also started to rate more about the architecture and trying to understand it by referring to that YouTube videos. So, so due to this I got an opportunity to learn DevOps and cloud native technologies and second is get hands on edge computing. So what is edge computing? It is an emerging computing paradigm that refers to a range of networks and devices at or near the user. Edge is about processing data closer to where it's being generated enabling processing at more incredible speeds and volumes leading to greater action led results in real time. Edge computing brings computation and data storage closer to where data is created by people, places and things. Open Horizon simplifies the job of getting the right applications and machine learning onto the right computer devices and keeps those applications running and updated. It also enables the autonomous management of more than 10,000 edge devices simultaneously that's 20 times as many endpoints as in traditional solutions. What is Open Horizon? Open Horizon is a platform for managing the service software lifecycle of containerized workloads and related machine learning assets. It enables autonomous management of applications deployed to distributed web scale fleet of edge computing nodes and devices without requiring on premise administrators. Open Horizon consists of management hub where administrative operations are centralized each device agent combined with container runtime and each cluster agent combined with OCPQ platform for managing the edge. So let's see the main components of Open Horizon. So Open Horizon as edge locations called as the Open Horizon agent. It has devices and clusters. So for devices, it has a Docker device and Kubernetes as a cluster node agent in node agent. There are several nodes register node negotiate agreements model synchronization monitor agreement and so on. So Open Horizon Asian synchronizes with Open Horizon management hub, which is a centralized public or private cloud or on premise, Kubernetes platform, a container registry switchboard and switchboard we have P2B messaging service and scripted eavesdropping prevention exchange in exchange we have Asian node registration service publication status queries and etc in the system state. So agreement board and model manager are present in the model repository and secure device on board and secrets manager is present in the vault. So now let's talk about my mentorship experience. So it was a really a roller coaster ride of things in a nutshell. So what are my learning and improvements. So basically I started with close to nothing related to DevOps and cloud-nating technologies when I was accepted into this LFX mentorship cohort. So I started with learning go management hub nodes got to know like what are those got my hands on management hub nodes edge computing and so on. So it was a great learning experience. Then key takeaways my key takeaways is that start small. You don't have to know every each and everything you can learn on the go. So take the initiative and ownership of your work. The feedback from your mentors are constantly like within a week within a mentor or whatever works for you. So it depends on individual to individual then phase resilience in the face of frustration, which means that when you are like when you feel like giving up or something to not because resilience is very important being patient and calm is very important as it opens doors to solutions to your problems. So how does the community be community driven be active in community put yourself in the community out there and you know, like know what is going around interact with new people because being active in community gives like, there are a lot many folks that you are not dependent on college for anything being active in community gives a mark of what you are doing what you are, you know, pouring into the plate what you are bringing in the table so it is very important. Second is be community driven, like, you know, whatever you do be community driven and maintain a balance between all. So yeah, that's it. Thank you for listening.
