Excellent tool for solving "edge " container environments

I like that it's open source software which has been around since 2014 so there are tons out in use already across multiple companies who have had to solve similar problems we're trying to fix at our organization - performance issues when using k8s clusters over long distances via WAN links or VPN connections etc., edgefs helps eliminate this problem by allowing us storage close enough to where containers run without having them actually be stored within those same nodes/containers themselves thus reducing network lag time significantly!

Pros

Easy setup
Very straightforward configuration file for deployment purposes (it basically just requires you fill your local environment ip address)
Supports Linux, Windows & other unix platforms too such as Solaris.
Open source with community support from large technology vendors all looking into how they can contribute back improvements

Cons
