Autonomous and Flexible Management of Edge Services
Now that we have a solid foundation regarding Edge computing concepts and the architectural features required to build an Edge-deployable containerized workload, we are ready to build the components of our application using Open Horizon. The previous chapter on the hzn
CLI provided a comprehensive overview of how to use various commands and provided you with the mechanics for interacting with the Edge Agent and Management Hub. Armed with conceptual and practical hands-on experience, in this chapter, we will define, develop, publish, and deploy the actual workload on the Edge device node.
In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:
- Developing an Open Horizon Service
- Developing an Open Horizon Pattern to deploy services
- Publishing a Service and Pattern to the Management Hub
- Deploying a workload on an Edge device node using the Pattern
- Combining multiple Services and deployments
