Edge Node Overview

Edge nodes are your own edge computing devices. They are used to run edge applications, process your data, and collaborate with cloud applications securely and conveniently. You can deploy system applications using IEF to extend cloud service capabilities to edge nodes, or deploy your own applications to implement edge computing capabilities.

To enable IEF to manage your edge node, perform the following steps:

1. Prepare the node. The edge node must meet requirements listed in Configuring the Edge Node Environment.
2. Register the node on IEF, and download the EdgeCore installer and configuration file. For details, see Registering an Edge Node.
3. Manage the edge node using the EdgeCore installer and configuration file. For details, see Managing an Edge Node.
