I was curious about was what is the fly.io container orchestrator that runs this edge architecture and were there any challenges implementing this on that? Cheers.
We use Nomad + custom Firecracker plugin and custom device plugins. Nomad is very nice, much smaller in scope than k8s, and saved us a lot of effort.
We don't use any of Nomad's networking stuff, really, so all the BPF work was relatively easy to bolt in. All our Firecrackers get tun/tap pairs we manage outside of Nomad, it's reasonably simple to make them do what we want.
I think we'll ultimately move off for custom orchestration but we want to wait as long as possible before we do that.
