Azure Edge Extensions

Azure Edge Extensions is a suite of sample software tools and solutions designed to help you take full advantage of the power of Azure's edge computing platforms. From notebook playgrounds, to CI/CD, to model transpilers, to production ready IaC, Azure Edge Extensions are all built with the goal of composition in mind. Fork and integrate the elements you need, and see your solutions come to life.

Warning

Not all Azure Edge Extensions are compatible with all released versions of Azure Arc or preview versions of Azure IoT Operations. Please review AIO release notes and notes in each extension project to confirm component compatibility.

Design Philosophy

Azure Edge Extensions are all built with the same basic principles, echoing the Unix Philosophy:

• Solve one, narrow business problem really well
• Code for contributions, not machine optimization
• Use well defined interfaces that enable composition
• Create a reaction for every action
• Output is always human readable and machine parsable

Getting Started

All Azure Edge Extensions follow a common naming convention and use repository tags so you know what technologies are in the box. The two primary template formats are:

• azure-edge-extensions-{product}-{process}-{technology}
• azure-edge-extensions-{technology}-{platform}

Some examples are:

• azure-edge-extensions-aio-iac-terraform - Azure IoT Operations Infrastructure as Code written in Terraform
• azure-edge-extensions-polyglotnotebooks-aio - a Polyglot Notebook for Azure IoT Operations
• azure-edge-extensions-devcontainer-aksee - A Dev Container with AKS Edge Essentials preinstalled

To see all the available Azure Edge Extensions please see the project documentation at our GitHub Pages site, or do a GitHub search for 'azure-edge-extensions'.
