And the name? • A vendor-neutral, open source project hosted by The Linux Foundation -- launched in April 2017
- 11. edgexfoundry.org | @edgexfoundry | @barton808 EdgeX Foundry Goals 1. Build and promote EdgeX as unifying the IoT edge via a common open platform. 2. Enable plug-and-play components to allow solutions providers to create ecosystem of interoperable components around EdgeX platform architecture. 3. Certify components to ensure interoperability and compatibility. 4. Provide tools to quickly create EdgeX-based IoT edge solutions that can easily adapt to changing business needs. 5. Collaborate with relevant open source projects, standards groups, and industry alliances to ensure consistency and interoperability across the IoT.
