DESCRIPTION:This presentation proposes a minimalist architecture for managi
 ng a distributed fleet of dedicated Linux/KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machin
 e) edge nodes\, each typically running a single\, user-assigned virtual ma
 chine in an appliance-style model. Instead of deploying a full IaaS stack\
 , the design separates centralized governance from local execution to redu
 ce complexity while maintaining strong security and deterministic operatio
 n at the edge. \n\nThe control plane is built on OpenStack\, leveraging Ke
 ystone for identity management\, Glance for image lifecycle control\, Barb
 ican for centralized key management\, and Ceph for encrypted image storage
 \, while using alternative lightweight mechanisms for VM placement to pres
 erve single-user determinism. \n\nThe approach is also compared with alter
 native solutions such as OpenNebula and Apache CloudStack\, highlighting d
 ifferences in architectural implementation\, control-plane coupling\, oper
 ational complexity\, and their suitability for deterministic\, appliance-s
 tyle edge deployments. \n\nThe result is a secure\, centrally governed dis
 tributed execution model optimized for simplicity\, resilience\, and real-
 world product deployment of controlled workloads at the edge.
