This is not a full release, but early availability of some elements of the California release (expected in June 2018) to demonstrate significant performance increases and size reductions across a number of EdgeX micro services.  In particular, it will demonstrate a clear path toward achieving scale and performance metrics expected of EdgeX for the June release.  In addition, this release will include some clean up of the EdgeX Device Service SDK and selected services that were not completed in time for the Barcelona release.
