Introduction

This article describes the minimal steps required to get a working setup in Edge Infrastructure Services or ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service. Follow the path that matches your goal.

​
Prerequisites

Edge Infrastructure Services

Onboard nodes, deploy applications, and manage workloads using EVE-OS.

ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service

Create or import Kubernetes clusters and deploy cloud-native applications with GitOps.

​
Quick Start for Edge Infrastructure Services

Edge Infrastructure Services provides EVE-OS (Edge Virtualization Engine) based node management, workload orchestration, and application deployment at the edge.
1

Prepare EVE-OS

Download EVE-OS and flash it to your edge device. Follow Get EVE-OS and Flash an EVE-OS image.
2

Onboard your node

Register your edge device with Edge Infrastructure Services. After onboarding, the device is referred to as a node. Follow Onboard Nodes.
3

Prepare your application

Choose the path that matches your application:
  • Build an app image: Create an image from your container image, VM image, or binary artifact. Follow Build Images and Bundles.
  • Import from the Marketplace: Browse pre-built applications from ZEDEDA and third-party providers, then import one to your library. Follow Edge Apps.
4

Deploy to your node

Run the application on your onboarded node. Follow Deploy an Application Instance.

​
Quick Start for ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service

ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service lets you manage Kubernetes clusters across distributed edge infrastructure through GitOps. You can create a cluster from onboarded nodes or import an existing third-party Kubernetes cluster.

​
Starting with onboarded nodes

If you have existing nodes already onboarded in Edge Infrastructure Services:
1

Create your cluster

Use your existing nodes to create a ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service cluster. Follow Edge Kubernetes Operations.
2

Deploy with GitOps

Deploy applications to the cluster using GitOps.

​
Starting with an existing non-ZEDEDA Kubernetes cluster

If you have an existing Kubernetes cluster that is not managed by ZEDEDA:
1

Import your cluster

Bring your existing cluster into ZEDEDA Edge Kubernetes Service. Follow Edge Kubernetes Operations.
2

Deploy with GitOps

Deploy applications to the cluster using GitOps.

​
Starting with no onboarded nodes

If you do not have any nodes onboarded yet, complete the Quick Start for Edge Infrastructure Services first, then return to starting with onboarded nodes.
