Delivery: ~June 2018
This release will main theme for this release is to provide a system ready solid foundation for deployment - one meeting its deployment targets and satisfying a great number in a wide variety of edge use cases including the first implementation of priority APIs and reference services for security and system management. It will also improve its EdgeX ease of use among a larger, more polyglot, development community.
Functionality is still being finalized by the TSC but directional themes are below.
Release Themes and Objectives
- Deliver on top priority security and system management & security implementationsAPIs and reference implementations of supporting microservices (e.g. key management)
- Deliver on mission critical / reliable platform promise
- Not RTOS level critical, but more near real time performanceNear real-time performance (enabling hard real time use cases planned through community extensions)
- Improve overall performance and deliver to target performance #’s
- Replace core services with Go servicesReduce overall footprint by an order of magnitude through alternative microservice implementations in Go Lang and possibly C
- Provide additional connectivity
- Some additional north side connectors (e.g. AWS/Greengrass)
- Some additional device services (e.g. OPC-UA)
- An additional Device Service SDK in 2nd languageand Export Service SDKs in Go Lang
- Demonstrate EdgeX in real-world POC/Test Bed through collaboration with IIC
