In the previous document, we have shown a schematic diagram of the ZEDEDA Edge Orchestration solution. Let's see how you can get started with the ZEDEDA solution in this document.
Step 1–Gather Requirements for your Enterprise

|
|
|
|
Step 2–Select Edge Computing Hardware
Find an appropriate brand and model of an Edge Node that you want to use for your edge infrastructure. Click here to view a comprehensive list of models tested to work with the open-source EVE-OS and the ZEDEDA Cloud solution. You will need to procure hardware from a device manufacturer or distributor. Some OEMs and distributors sell hardware with EVE-OS pre-installed.

Step 3–EVE-OS Version
The next step is to find an appropriate EVE-OS version for your edge computing device model. Click here to find an appropriate image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 4–Install EVE-OS
Download and install EVE-OS and follow the step-by-step process of installing EVE-OS on your edge computing device.
|
|
|
|
Step 5–Onboard Edge Node to ZEDCloud
Onboard the EVE-OS installed Edge computing device on ZEDCloud. Once onboarded, we call it an Edge Node. See the steps to onboard a new Edge Node on ZEDEDA. Once onboarded, the onboarded device will appear in the list view of Edge Nodes in the ZEDEDA UI.

|
|
|
|
Step 6–Select Application(s) from Marketplace
Select the appropriate software applications for your Edge Node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 7–Deploy Edge Application on Edge Node
Once you have finalized which will use edge applications on your edge node, deploy the desired edge application on one or multiple Edge Nodes in your enterprise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 8–Monitor the Status and Health of the Edge Node and/or Edge Application
You can click on the icon Edge node icon on the left navigation to see a list of individual Edge Nodes in a table view. You could click on an Edge Node to see the same things like 'Status,' 'Basic information,' and 'Events' in a detailed view. See Lifecycle Operations on Edge Nodes to learn more.
Similarly, you could see an edge application instance details by clicking on an edge application instance in the edge application instance list view. See Lifecycle Operations on Edge Applications to learn more about the edge application instances. This is where you could monitor the health parameters of assets in your edge infrastructure.

Step 9–Congratulations, your Edge Application is online!
Your first edge node is running the desired edge application in your edge infrastructure.
