Abstract: A computer-implemented method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for edge node autonomy. For a first edge node of a plurality of edge nodes in a federation in a distributed computing framework, one or more processors receive a request to be sent to a central node in the distributed computing framework. The one or more processors determine whether the federation is connected to the central node. In response to determining that the federation is not connected to the central node, the one or more processors determine whether a controller capable of processing the request is available in the federation. In response to determining that the controller capable of processing the request is available in the federation, the one or more processors notify the controller to process the request.

Abstract: Provisioning an orchestration platform is provided. A pre-application programming interface (API) server hook is used to preprocess a request to generate a custom resource in the orchestration platform. The pre-API server hook generates a custom resource definition corresponding to the custom resource and generates the custom resource based on the custom resource definition. A custom resource definition generation event is monitored for, using a custom resource definition (CRD) meta-controller, to manage a custom resource definition controller corresponding to the custom resource definition. The CRD meta-controller retrieves the custom resource definition controller from a CRD controller configuration repository to deploy the custom resource definition controller on a worker node in the orchestration platform.

Abstract: In an approach for classifying and storing multiple layers of a file system as platform-dependent and platform-independent layers, a processor generates an initial layer of a file system. The initial layer is a platform-dependent base layer. A processor assigns one or more files associated with the initial layer with a first group identification as a first same group in a file registry for a plurality of platforms. A processor generates a new layer based on the initial layer into the file system. A processor, in response to the new layer being platform-independent, marks the new layer as platform-independent in the file registry. A processor pushes the new layer into the file registry for one of the plurality of platforms. A processor distributes one or more corresponding files from the file registry per a client request to access the file system.
