This page is dedicated to work associated with exploration of the Open Horizon open source effort and possible integration efforts with it.

Open Horizon Info

discovering and documenting best practices for integrating EdgeX Foundry and Open Horizon.

Open Horizon Info

UPDATED: This sub-group was active while the Open Horizon project was incubating under EdgeX Foundry. As of May 2020, the Open Horizon project successfully transitioned to a standalone LF Edge project. Collaboration with EdgeX Foundry continues in the Real Time Sensor Fusion demo, the Kubernetes Support sub-project, and the Open Retail Reference Architecture (ORRA).

Open Horizon lives on the network edge, and typically on constrained devices. Open Horizon is designed to help place your software as close as possible to where the data is being created and right where actions need to be taken. A fully autonomous Open Horizon Agent runs on every edge device to orchestrate and manage the software lifecycles of your containers (e.g., download, verify, sandbox, run, restart, remove) on its device. Open Horizon is mostly decentralized, and designed for massive scale. Driven only by a software deployment pattern you have configured, or by policies (properties and constraints) that you have set, the Open Horizon Agent makes its own decisions about which software to run on its device. The Agent has a very small footprint, currently requiring less than 30MB of RAM at runtime, and we regularly test and support small Linux amd64, arm64v8, and arv32v6/v7 devices (with as little as 512MB RAM).

Since commercial support for Open Horizon is also offered by IBM under the product name "IBM Edge Computing For Devices" (IEC4D) or "IBM Edge Computing Manager", several documentation assets have been createdIBM also has a commercially-supported downstream distribution of Open Horizon named IBM Edge Application Manager. Therefore documentation created for that offering will most likely also apply to Open Horizon. These assets describe the same Open Horizon available in open source so these are valuable assets for our community as well. So some of those assets appear in the list below as well.
