EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral. open source, hardware, and OS agnostic Linux Foundation project to create a common open platform for IoT edge computing systems. EdgeX is a software framework that enables you to rapidly connect the “things” in your IoT environment to your enterprise or cloud systems.
In this lab, you will:
• Understand how EdgeX Foundry supports the development and deployment of interoperable and distributable edge/fog/IoT solutions.
• Learn how to get and deploy EdgeX.
• Learn how to connect sensors and devices to EdgeX and get their data flowing into the platform.
• Learn how to connect EdgeX to a cloud platform and get data from the edge to applications and system that live in the cloud or enterprise.
• Explore where and how you can customize/extend EdgeX to suit your IoT use cases.
