Release Notes for the Robot basic architecture based on SSES Blueprint
Summary
This is the first release of the Smart Data Transaction for CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) Blueprint. The blueprint is focused on two main goals:
Enabling edge nodes to cooperate on data processing by sharing data, potentially reducing bandwidth demands between the edge node and the cloud or MEC
Increasing the range of sensor data that can be acquired by introducing a low-power radio component to connect to remote sensors
In addition, this release provides a basic framework for installing, configuring and monitoring the collection of edge nodes, using Kubernetes and Ansible scripting.

Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
System Limitations
The following limitations are intended to be addressed in later releases:
Known Issues
The following known issues exist in the EdgeX Foundry implementation and impact this blueprint:
These issues are all addressed by workarounds described below.
Workarounds
The edgex-go issues 3851 and 3852, as well as the issue hiding Kong's lib directory, are addressed by changes to the volume mappings of containers, found in the configuration files under edgex/deployments, edgex/claims, and edgex/volumes, and patches to the EdgeX Foundry security-bootstrapper and security-secretstore-setup Docker images. The patched images are generated using the Makefile and Dockerfile in the directories under edgex named after the affected images.
The Kong DNS name resolution problem is worked around with a patched Kong image, generated from the source under edgex/kong.
With these workarounds in place the blueprint can be installed and operated successfully according to the Installation Guide.
