Introduction
This guide provides the information for setting up the ELIOT Environment which includes ELIOT Manager and ELIOT Edge Node(s) with details of software and hardware specifications.
For Release-1.0 the scope of the guide covers two ELIOT deployments one is using Kubernetes and the other one using Kubeedge (Lightweight Kubernetes).
The ELIOT Manager can be any Cloud Virtual Machine having Ubuntu OS 16.04 and should be able to ping and SSH to the Eliot Edge Node.
The ELIOT Edge Node will be a Virtual Machine having Ubuntu
For Kubernetes setup is done by using Kubeadm tool.
How to use this document
The document includes details of pre-requisites /pre-installation, installation and uninstalls steps.
The pre-requisites and pre-installation software and hardware should be ready before executing the installation steps.
For Installation, there are two mode Auto Deployment installation script steps and manual installation.
Deployment Architecture
For Release 1.0 the Deployment Architecture consists of two nodes ELIOT Manager and a single ELIOT Edge Node.
ELIOT Manager acts as the Controller Node managing the ELIOT Edge Node(s) and the containerized applications running on the various ELIOT Edge Nodes.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Hardware Requirements
ELIOT Manager - One VM - 8 vCPU - 32 GB RAM (can be hosted in any cloud provider) with Ubuntu OS having internet and network connectivity with ELIOT Edge Node.
ELIOT Edge Node - Ubuntu OS 16.04 / 18.04 installed with networking capability and internet capability
