Introduction

Edge Compute Networks ('ECNs') are complicated things. At a high level, they are composed of a Control Plane and a set of Agents.

Setting up and managing an ECN out of an arbitrary set of remote hosts can seem like a daunting task. That's why we are going to use iofogctl. iofogctl is a CLI that simplifies the orchestration of ECNs as well as the deployment of microservices on those ECNs. In this guide, we will step through the process of creating a real, distributed ECN across a set of remote hosts.

In this section, we will go through two deployment options of an ioFog ECN. The first option is a remote deployment on a standalone host. This deployment requires us to setup the network and prepare the Controller and Agent hosts for SSH access. The second option is a deployment onto a Kubernetes cluster. In this case, we also need to setup the network, but we only need to prepare the Agent hosts for SSH access.
