The LF Edge's Open Horizon project delivers containerized services and ML assets, and manages the service software lifecycle, on edge nodes and clusters. The project's Management Hub components store the metadata for describing the services, deployment policies, and encrypted communications. They also propose agreements to edge nodes for potential deployments. But the Agent component (anax) autonomously determines what will actually happen on the edge node, makes all decisions, and initiates all communications. For an edge node or cluster to manage workloads, they must be registered with a Hub instance (and can only be registered with one Hub at a time).
The Open Horizon project is providing a public Hub instance for the LF Edge community to use, provide working examples, and to assist developers. This Hub instance will be the current release of Open Horizon, and will be replaced whenever a new release is deployed every few months. See the Shared Community Lab's Acceptable Usage Policy for usage guidelines.
