Odessa Release

Delivery:  ~ Feb 2025

Namer:  Mengyi Wang & Farshid Tavakolizadeh (Canonical)

Update: Q4 2024 - In order to start fresh with the new features and remove the outgoing services, increasingly likely that Odessa will be a 4.0 release. However at a user code and API level it will be compatible with V3 services and applications so migration will be straightforward.

Key items planned include:

  • Addition of PostgreSQL as a database option 
  • New time-based support scheduler service
  • Replace Hashicorp Consul with Core-Keeper
  • Replace Hashicorp Vault with OpenBao

  • Replace Redis with Valkey (LF supported fork of Redis)
  • EdgeX Parent/Child Device relationships
  • Zero Trust / Secure Distributed EdgeX (OpenZiti Integration)

  • Continue EdgeX documentation redesign - focusing on updating all device service docs to the new consistent formatting, and an overhaul of the security section
  • Device discovery feedback added to the Device Services SDK
  • Support for running in Docker rootless mode
