Akri: Using non-Kubernetes devices in Kubernetes
summary
Akri is an open‑source project that exposes non-Kubernetes devices as Kubernetes resources so sensors and brownfield gear join a cluster without installing agents or Kubernetes on the device. It runs protocol handler pods (ONVIF, OPC UA, USB discovery or custom) that discover and monitor devices, and it can auto‑deploy specified workloads when matching devices appear. The claim: integrate diverse edge devices with zero device changes; the demo and code show discovery, resource objects, and automated pod binding working end-to-end.
