description: An overview of the StarlingX project
|
|
title: Learn
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The StarlingX virtualization platform focuses on easy deployment, low touch manageability, rapid response to events and
|
|
fast recovery -- think control at the edge, control between IoT and cloud, and control over your virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
Rather than reference platforms and gap definition for edge use cases, StarlingX provides a deployment-ready, scalable
|
|
and highly reliable edge infrastructure software platform to build mission critical edge clouds. Tested and released as
|
|
a complete stack, StarlingX ensures compatibility among diverse open source components. Its unique project components
|
|
provide fault management and service management among others to ensure high availability of user applications. The
|
|
StarlingX community has optimized the solution for security, ulta-low latency, extremely high service uptime, and
|
|
streamlined operation.
