EdgeLake Service for OpenHorizon

EdgeLake is a decentralized network to manage IoT data. Nodes in the network are compute instances that execute the EdgeLake Software. Joining a network requires the following steps:

1. Install the EdgeLake Software on one or more computer instances.
2. Configure each installed node (compute instance) such that:
   1. The node joins an exiting network (or creates a new network).
   2. The node offers data management and monitoring services.

General Configuration of Network

A basic network setup consists of a master node, 2 or more operator nodes and a query node - as shown in the image below. These nodes can be deployed either on the same physical machine, or unique machines.

Usage

The make command allows deploying an EdgeLake node based on a user-define node type (Master, Operator or Query).

Examples

Docker-based Deployment:

# deploy container 
make up EDGELAKE_TYPE=[NODE_TYPE]

# attach to container (ctrl-d to detach) 
make attach EDGELAKE_TYPE=[NODE_TYPE]

# bring down container
make down EDGELAKE_TYPE=[NODE_TYPE]

# clean container from system
make clean EDGELAKE_TYPE=[NODE_TYPE]

OpenHorizon-based Deployment

# Publish Service 
make publish-service EDGELAKE_TYPE=[node_type]

# Publish Service Policy 
make publish-service-policy EDGELAKE_TYPE=[node_type]

# Publish Deployment Policy 
make publish-deployment-policy EDGELAKE_TYPE=[node_type]

# Start container (deploy agent) 
make agent-run EDGELAKE_TYPE=[node_type]

# Unregister Node / takedown container 
make agent-stop EDGELAKE_TYPE=[node_type]
