DRAFT - Early Program Documentation - DRAFT

Description

With Hanoi, EdgeX Foundry is announcing the availability of EdgeX Ready1.  In this program, users attest that they have authored a device profile and can get device-specific data moving through an EdgeX instance they had set up themselves thereby demonstrating some familiarity with EdgeX and more specifically of device services and its associated profiles.  Upon submission of their device profiles and sample data, users receive a badge identifying their accomplishment and for which they can utilize in their marketing and promotional materials.  The goal of the program is to provide awareness of users and their organizations that have EdgeX expertise while also promoting the sharing of EdgeX device connectivity elements, e.g. device profiles and the like, and sample data sets to accelerate adoption of the platform.  EdgeX Ready is expected by year's end.

We've done several things in the Hanoi release to help users succeed at this task:

  1. In our documentation, you will now find a specification for device profiles (see: Device Profile Reference).  For those who prefer reading the code to infer the specification, you can still do that, too!  Start here with our Getting Started - Developers guide or hop right to the EdgeX Foundry Project on GitHub.
  2. We will soon be providing a tool with which users can validate the syntax of their device profile2.
  3. Furthermore, we have provided cloud-specific templates and how-to guides for instantiating a reference implementation of EdgeX in the cloud to minimize the domain knowledge required outside of the immediate device service and their associated IoT protocol.  With their instance, users can verify that their device profile and sample data achieves the desired form within EdgeX.
    1. AZURE
    2. AWS

We are initially launching with MQTT and REST device services.  This is just the beginning.  With community interest, we may expand the program to support additional device services.

If you would like to be among the first to go through this program, we would love to hear from you!  You can reach us at REACHABILITY

Participation in the EdgeX Ready program requires that one is an EdgeX User.  For more information about EdgeX User and how to become one, please see the following EDGEX USER.


1 Program name has not yet been finalized.  EdgeX Ready is a placeholder program name.

2 Your device profile must pass validation using this tool to be considered in the EdgeX Ready program

Feedback

We are interested in hearing from you!  If you have thoughts you would like to share, whether about this program, or perhaps of expanding this program to address additional IoT protocols offered by our other device services that align better with your interests, you can find us at REACHABILITY
