⁠What is EdgeX Foundry?

EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral, open source project hosted by The Linux Foundation building a common open framework for IoT edge computing. At the heart of the project is an interoperability framework hosted within a full hardware and OS agnostic reference software platform to enable an ecosystem of plug-and-play components that unifies the marketplace and accelerates the deployment of IoT solutions.

In simple terms, EdgeX is edge middleware - serving between physical sensing and actuating "things" and our information technology (IT) systems.

EdgeX's official documentation can be found at docs.edgexfoundry.org⁠.

⁠What's in this image?

This image contains the core command⁠ service and all of its base configuration.

The command micro service (often called the command and control micro service) enables the issuance of commands or actions to devices on behalf of:

• other micro services within EdgeX Foundry (for example, an edge analytics or rules engine micro service)
• other applications that may exist on the same system with EdgeX Foundry (for example, a management agent that needs to shutoff a sensor)
• To any external system that needs to command those devices (for example, a cloud-based application that determined the need to modify the settings on a collection of devices)

The command micro service exposes the commands in a common, normalized way to simplify communications with the devices. There are two types of commands that can be sent to a device.

• a GET command requests data from the device. This is often used to request the latest sensor reading from the device.
• PUT commands request to take action or actuate the device or to set some configuration on the device.
