How to Create a Device Group

Before deploying any model to an edge device, you must first create a Device Group. A device group will let you connect one more edge devices to your instance of Modzy and then deploy one or more models to that group of devices.

Navigate to the edge device page

To create a device group, you will first want to navigate to the Edge Devices page. First, click on the Operations tab and then the Edge Devices tab. From here, click on the "New Device Group" button in the top right corner of the screen.

Customize your device group

Next, you'll need to provide the following information:

• Provide a Device group name: Its best to choose something simple that will apply to all of the devices in your group such as "Parking Lot Cameras" or "Factory Air Quality Sensors."
• Select the Type of edge deployment: Currently only "Standalone" is supported
• Select a Runtime: Currently only Docker is supported
• Add one or more models to your device group: Click on the Add Model button to select the models you'd like deployed to any edge devices connected to your device group

Complete device creation

When you're finished adding models and adjusting PEs, click on Create New Device Group button in the bottom right corner of the screen. You'll return to the Edge Devices page where your new device group should appear.
