Reference Architecture

Description

The purpose of this area is to provide some example guidelines for those organizations who want to deploy an EdgeX system in a Oil&Gas concern.

Test beds with other parties such as IIC could be included as well.

Requirements

Provide information on the following:

  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Notes

Code

No additional code is necessary as part of this activity.

Current status

Waiting for EdgeX 0.5 Docker Compose file to start the tests that will provide the basis to generate recommendations on the reference cases. More representative tests will need to be taken with EdgeX 1.0 Docker Compose file since the California Release will be closer to provide the real performances expected on a EdgeX System.
