Once you have created an account, it’s time to get started. In general, you can think of the workflow as follows:

Image Modified

  1. Gather requirements
    • Project Scope: Projects are a logical grouping of edge nodes. You will need to decide which LF Edge and third-party applications you wish to test.
    • Networks and Connectivity: Decide how you want the edge nodes to connect with external resources, public clouds, or databases for storing the application data.
  2. Select edge hardware
    • Hardware Models: You will need to decide which Hardware model suits the requirement for your Edge Infrastructure. These Edge Computing devices are called 'Edge Nodes'. Click here [/sandbox/hardware] to learn more about supported hardware.
    • LF Edge Community Lab: Hardware resources can be reserved for Sandbox testing. Please visit this page [page?] to learn more. 
  3. Install EVE-OS
    • Download and install EVE-OS and follow the step-by-step process of installing EVE-OS on your edge computing device.
  4. Onboard Edge Node to Sandbox SaaS
    • Onboard the EVE-OS installed Edge computing device on the LF Edge Sandbox.
      • See the steps to onboard a new Edge Node.
    • Once onboarded, the device will appear in the list view of Edge Nodes in the LF Edge Sandbox UI.
  5. Select appropriate applications and projects from the Marketplace.
    • Select an LF Edge Sandbox Application: You can click on the Marketplace icon to see the LF Edge Projects as applications in the marketplace. See the Import Edge Applications article to follow the steps to import edge applications to your Sandbox tenant. Click here [/sandbox/applications] to learn more about Sandbox applications.
    • Add (Create) your own Edge Application: You can create a new application using an a containerized or VM image that is ready to be deployed on EVE-OS.. The Onboard an Edge Application will walk you through the steps to create a new edge application.
  6. Deploy edge application(s) on the edge node(s)
    • Once you have finalized which edge applications to deploy on your edge nodes, follow these steps to deploy the desired edge application on one or multiple Edge Nodes in your Sandbox.
  7. Monitor the status and health of edge nodes and applications.
    • You can click on the Edge node icon on the left navigation to see a list of individual Edge Nodes in a table view. Click on an Edge Node to see details like 'Status,' 'Basic information,' and 'Events' in separate tabs. See Lifecycle Operations on Edge Nodes to learn more.
