IoT Gateway Blueprint will provide an infrastructure platform for an edge node to run as a provide features of an 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.
...
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. For development environment we have tested with one ELIOT Manager Node and two ELIOT Worker Nodes.
ELIOT Manager is the central controller which manages the orchestration, life cycle, management and networking of edge nodes (IoT Gateway). It can be installed on a bare metal server or cloud VM with Ubuntu 16.04 /18.04 or Cent OS 7.5 version (currently supported OS in IoT Gateway Blueprint)
.
The node Kubernetes Master (kubeadm, kubectl, kubelet), Kubeedge-EdgeController is to facilitate auto deploy, high availability, orchestration, self-healing of the IoT Gateway Nodes.
ELIOT Nodes - IoT Gateway are Edge compute processing nodes which will provide the hardware and the software stack for deploying IoT applications.
In Release 2.0 IoT Gateway Blueprint to deploy native containerized application on the IoT Gateway Nodes have used
- Kubernetes
- KubeEdge (Internally it uses Kubernetes)
The IoT Gateway can function as a Kubernetes worker node or a KubeEdge - Edge node when used as Kubernetes or KubeEdge respectively.
IoT Gateway blueprint is integrated with EdgeX foundry platform , thus giving an platform to deploy IoT applications.
...
Many cloud native monitoring applications can be used to collect container matrix and show them in a graphical manner, like cadvisor, grafana , prometheus.
