Industrial Edge Management System can be installed on any compliant Kubernetes (K8s) cluster.
This documentation describes the complete installation process of IEM 2.0 on K3s distribution.
Industrial Edge Management deployed in K3s cluster.
The objective of this tutorial is to provide a comprehensive walkthrough for users on the setup process of IEM 2.0 on a Kubernetes cluster. To achieve this, a new Kubernetes cluster will be established utilizing the K3s framework, and subsequently, the IEM service will be deployed within it. By the conclusion of this tutorial, users will have successfully created and onboarded a new IEM instance, which will be fully prepared for utilization within the Industrial Edge Ecosystem.
General architecture overview
- Industrial Edge Hub (IEH) Access
- Powerful host PC or server with Internet access
With a minimum of:- 4 (v)CPU cores
- 16 GB of RAM
- 100 GB of HDD Space
- Linux-based operating system
To ensure the successful onboarding of a new Industrial Edge Management (IEM) instance, it is imperative that the host machine possess an active internet connection and the capability to access IE Hub domains. If your host machine operates within a proxy or firewall environment, it is essential to ensure that all necessary domains are appropriately whitelisted. Please refer to the "Industrial Edge - Security Overview" document for further guidance.
- K3s - Kubernetes distribution - v1.27.3+k3s1
- IEM - Industrial Edge Management - v1.2.24
- ieprovision - Industrial Edge Provisioning CLI - Ubuntu - v1.0.8
To deploy Industrial Edge Management on a K3s cluster, you must perform the following tasks:
- Install the K3s Cluster
- Create an IEM instance in the Industrial Edge Hub (IEH)
- Download and install the IE Provisioning CLI
- Install the IEM on the K3s Cluster
After successfully following all the installation steps, you will have a fully operational instance of IEM (Industrial Edge Management) deployed within a local Kubernetes (K3s) cluster. This instance is now ready to be utilized within the Industrial Edge Ecosystem. For comprehensive guidance on operating the IEM instance, please consult the official Industrial Edge Documentation - Industrial Edge Management - Operation.
