Delivery:  12th March 2025 (Apologies - this is a 2 week delay from original stated date of 26th Feb)

Namer:  Mengyi Wang & Farshid Tavakolizadeh (Canonical)

Update Nov 2024: The EdgeX TSC voted to make Odesa the EdgeX 4.0 release. However at a user code and API level it will be compatible with V3 services and applications so migration and adoption will be straightforward.  EdgeX 4.0 will also become our next Long Term Support (LTS) release

Release Theme: Proven Maturity, Continuously Open and Ready for Deployment

  • Odesa brings critical advancements, including PostgreSQL support and a time-based scheduler, ensuring trusted and efficient EdgeX deployments for industrial applications

  • Odesa proactively addresses the recent shift of some third-party components to business-source licenses by adopting Linux Foundation-compliant alternatives

Key delivery items include:

  • The addition of PostgreSQL which will provide a more robust backend database solution and becomes the default database moving forward

  • New time-based support scheduler service

  • Replacing Hashicorp Consul with Core-Keeper

  • Replacing Hashicorp Vault with OpenBao

  • Replacing the Redis database with Valkey

  • MQTT becoming the default message bus with the Redis PubSub message bus being removed

  • New Python App Functions SDK

  • Zero Trust / Secure Distributed EdgeX (implemented with OpenZiti Integration)

  • Device discovery feedback added to the Device Services SDK

  • Support for running in Docker rootless mode

  • Support for multi-arch manifests on the EdgeX Docker repositories. Multi-arch containers allow one container to support multiple architectures/layers by hosting multiple architecture-specific manifests. The benefit is that it simplifies tag management, image management and related efforts for our downstream users

  • Continued redesign of the EdgeX documentation redesign including updating all device service docs to the new consistent formatting
