Blueprint overview/Introduction
ELIOT is "Enterprise Edge Lightweight and IOT" project under Akraino approved blueprint family and part of Akraino Edge Stack, which intends to provide an platform for a fully integrated edge network infrastructure and running edge computing applications, on lightweight Edge Nodes. ELIOT targets on making the edge node a lightweight software stack which can be deployed on edge nodes which have limited hardware capacity by leveraging lightweight OS, a container running environment and container orchestration applications.
...
IoT Gateway Blueprint will provide an infrastructure platform for an edge node to run as a IoT Gateway. This is achieved by leveraging the upstream opensource application like Dockers, Kubernetes , Prometheus , cAdvisor, KubeEdge and EdgeX. Companies having applications to be deployed on edge nodes related to IoT application , can use the IoT Gateway platform to have a functional end to end to ecosystem of IoT.
Use Case
Many diverse business applications require a converged IoT gateway. In this use case, the plan is to support the following scenarios:
...
Industry Sector: WAN edge, enterprise, diverse IoT applications in various vertical market segments, Carrier
Where on the Edge
Many diverse business applications require a converged IoT gateway.
...
- Smart cities
- Smart homes
- Connected vehicles
- Connected farming, agriculture
- Logistics
- Industrial, IIoT
Overall Architecture
ELIOT IoT Gateway Blueprint Architecture consists of an ELIOT Manager and multiple ELIOT Nodes. The scale of ELIOT (edge) Nodes can range from 1 single node to 10, 100, 1K or more.
