StarlingX, an open-source platform for edge computing based on OpenStack, has hit release 6.0 with a Linux Kernel upgrade plus security and deployment enhancements to make it easier to manage systems.<\/p>\n

The StarlingX project<\/a> offers a complete software stack for edge and IoT deployments, with support for code running in containers or virtual machines. It was started by Intel and Wind River, but is now an independent project supported by the Open Infrastructure Foundation<\/a>, with code available under the Apache 2 licence.<\/p>\n

Companies using StarlingX in production systems include T-Systems, Verizon and Vodafone, with the code freely available to download<\/a> from the StarlingX website.<\/p>\n

One of the major updates in this release is the Linux kernel at the core of the stack, with the StarlingX team stating that in light of previous CentOS announcements<\/a>, the community decided to move over to Debian. In practice, this meant an upgrade to the 5.10 version of the kernel, which also had a side effect of providing the user space tooling to configure the routing and forwarding interfaces.<\/p>\n

Another issue addressed is that of deployment and configuration. Edge use cases tend to vary a lot in deployment configurations and users need to build up their infrastructure and later change and evolve it in response to changing requirements, according to the StarlingX team.<\/p>\n
