Technical requirements

We have provided you with a book full of information on how to build and deploy your Edge solution, leveraging the deployment management provided by the open-source Open Horizon project. This chapter presumes you are familiar with the idea of Edge computing, using containers to structure your solution into a set of composable and distributable components, and how to use Open Horizon to manage your production environment to get the right component to the right place at the right time.

Previously, we covered several advanced topics related to your deployment – such as how to create and deploy AI/ML models for your application, how to secure the otherwise exposed environments at your Edge, and the synergies between Networking and Edge computing. We won’t demand any other technical background from you to appreciate the topics we will cover in this chapter.
