Deployments

EdgeDevice

• Represents the low SWAP device edge running podman -- future will look at RHDE & MicroShift
• Components
  • image_sensor
    • Generates images with and without ships in them (ships = black rectangle)
  • image_processor
    • detects_ships in the images and if it does not contain a ship it discards the image
  • image_downlinker
    • downlinks all remaining images to the online edgefacility
    • monitors the API of the edgefacility-a and edgefacility-b and will pause and switch downlink locations if one is lost

EdgeFacility

• Represents a remote edge processing facility with a minimal number of servers -- currently running Single Node OpenShift on two single blade servers
• Components
  • image_receiver
    • receives and stores the images downlinked from the edgedevice
  • image_processor
    • looks at the downlinked images and chips ships in the images to reduce the image data needing to be sent back to corefacility
  • image_forwarder
    • forwards all the chips to the corefacility

CoreFacility

• Represents the core processing facilities that are used to do the heavy lifting. -- This is AWS and Azure for the demo
• Components
  • image_receiver
    • receives and stores the images that were forwarded from the edgefacility
  • image_processor
    • looks at the chips and wraps the ship in a green box and labels it with the word SHIP and stores them on the volume
  • s3_image_uploader
    • reads the image data iin the volume and copies it to an S3 bucket for future use or archive
