⁠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 a microservice that enables security for remote device services⁠ and delayed-start microservices that cannot have an EdgeX secret token pre-seeded to the microservice. This service works by exchanging a SPIFFE⁠ X.509 SVID for an EdgeX secret store token. This is necessary when EdgeX is running in security-enabled mode in order to access the EdgeX secret store, the EdgeX secure message bus, the EdgeX registry provider, and the EdgeX configuration provider services.
