Creating an Edge Resource Pool

An edge resource pool is a group of edge nodes. After an edge algorithm is deployed in an edge resource pool, you can use the deployed algorithm to analyze video data from edge cameras. Before creating a task using an edge algorithm, create an edge resource pool and deploy the edge algorithm in it.

Prerequisites

An edge node has been added and managed on IEF and is running. For details, see Edge Node Overview.

Procedure

On the Edge Resource Pools page, click New and set parameters.

**Table 1** Parameters for creating an edge resource pool
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Example	Description
Name	Yes	String	edge-pool-001	Enter 4 to 32 characters. Only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens (-) are allowed.
Description	No	String	Edge resource pool which is used to deploy edge algorithms	Enter 0 to 255 characters.
Edge Nodes	Yes	String	edge-node-001	Select an edge node managed on IEF from the drop-down list.

After you finish the configuration, click Submit.
The edge resource pool list page is displayed. You can see information about the newly created edge resource pool on the Edge Resource Pools page.

Viewing an Edge Resource Pool

The Edge Resource Pools page displays a list of created resource pools. You can view the name, status, creation time, update time, and description of each resource pool.

You can also search for a specified edge resource pool by name.
