DRAFT - Early Program Documentation - DRAFT
With Hanoi, EdgeX Foundry is announcing the availability of EdgeX Ready1. In this program, users attest that they have authored a device profile and can get device-specific data moving through an EdgeX instance they had set up themselves thereby demonstrating some familiarity with EdgeX and more specifically of device services and associated device profiles. Upon submission of their device profiles and sample data, users receive a badge identifying their accomplishment, which they can utilize in their marketing and promotional materials. The goal of the program is to provide awareness of users and their organizations that have EdgeX expertise while also promoting the sharing of EdgeX device connectivity elements (e.g. device profiles and the like), and sample data sets to accelerate adoption of the platform.
We've done several things in the Hanoi release to help users succeed at this task:
We are initially launching with MQTT and REST device services. This is just the beginning. With community interest, we will expand the program to support additional device services.
If you would like to be among the first to go through this program, we would love to hear from you! You can reach us at
Participation in the EdgeX Ready program requires that one is an EdgeX User. For more information about EdgeX User and how to become one, please see the following .
1 Program name has not yet been finalized. EdgeX Ready is a placeholder program name.
2 Your device profile must pass validation using this tool to be considered in the EdgeX Ready program
EdgeX Ready will be announced before the end of 2021.
We are interested in hearing from you! If you have thoughts you would like to share, about this program, or perhaps of expanding this program to address additional IoT protocols offered by our other device services that align better with your interests, you can find us at
EdgeX Ready Workflow
What does it cost to be EdgeX Ready?
No - the only requirement is that you sign up and become an EdgeX User , which is also free to join.
Do I need to have real sensors or devices to become an EdgeX Ready User?
No - using the MQTT and REST device services, you must be able to demonstrate that you can get data into EdgeX as a sensor or device would do, but you do not need a real sensor or device to accomplish the EdgeX Ready program.
