EdgeX Foundry, a project under the LF Edge umbrella organization, announced the availability of its “Geneva” release. This release reportedly offers more robust security, optimized analytics, and secure connectivity for multiple devices.
The Geneva Release
As the sixth release in the EdgeX Foundry roadmap, Geneva offers simplified deployment, optimized analytics, secure connectivity for multiple devices and more robust security. Key features include:
- Automate on-boarding: simplify, scale and quicken connection of devices by allowing automatic provisioning of devices
- Improved Performance: A new rules engine that is written in Go for faster performance, a smaller footprint and more memory
- Connectivity: Improved bandwidth utilization and efficiency through use of new batch and send capabilities provided in the App Functions SDK
- Secure Authentication: Store and use/authenticate secrets to connect with cloud providers
- Testing: New integration and backward compatibility testing along with enhanced security and blackbox testing
EdgeX Foundry works closely with several of the other LF Edge projects, such as Akraino Edge Stack and new project Open Horizon. During this release cycle, EdgeX was made to work under the Akraino Edge Lightweight IOT (ELIOT) Blueprint and tested under the Akraino Community Lab.
Launched last month, Open Horizon is a platform for managing the service software lifecycle of containerized workloads and related machine learning assets. Open Horizon is building an integration project that will demonstrate delivery and management of EdgeX Foundry as a containerized solution in stages, beginning with a single deployable unit and then progressing to a more modular set of services and alternate delivery targets.
