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
