Many enterprises, such as new energy vehicle and smart campus, are deploying cloudnative workloads to edge nodes. However, these nodes often exist in highly distributed and high-latency network environments, bringing challenges to manage them.

However, as some maintainers of K8s have also pointed out, there're challenges in distributed and high-latency network with K8s, including: 1) the impact of the List-watch mechanism on server-side due to data retransmission(re-list frequently) in scenarios with frequent node online/offline 2) how to recover apps when nodes go offline and restart.

This topic will introduce how KubeEdge optimizes the K8s List-watch in unstable network, avoiding the impact on the server-side bandwidth by re-list frequently. Notably, users can in the data center manage workloads on massively discrete edges without awareness. Moreover, real-world user cases such as those in new energy vehicles and smart campuses will be presented to demonstrate the effect and value.
