Applications

Developers use the marketplace to deploy applications to edge nodes using the LF Edge sandbox. There are two types of marketplaces: Global and Private.

Global Marketplace

To help accelerate your project, the LF Edge Sandbox is pre-loaded with applications. These applications are available to all users and reside in the Global Marketplace. The goal is to include all applicable LF Edge projects as applications in the Global Marketplace. The sandbox may include other open-source or commercial applications to help simplify the edge application deployment experience.

The LF Edge TAC maintains the catalog of Global Marketplace applications. Users are welcome to submit suggestions for additional applications. You can learn more about that process here.

Private Marketplace

Each LF Edge Sandbox account includes a Private Marketplace that can only be accessed by the account owner. With a few clicks, you can easily import applications from the Global Marketplace into your Private Marketplace for use with your edge devices.

You can also add additional applications to your Private Marketplace. This is useful if you would like to test solutions that include software outside LF Edge projects. You can even bring in custom applications you have developed. Click here to learn more about importing your applications.

About the LF Edge Sandbox

The LF Edge Sandbox is a free SaaS service provided by ZEDEDA that interoperates with your edge hardware running project EVE. This service interacts with edge nodes running project EVE software. Once associated, you can deploy other LF Edge projects from the global marketplace combined with any application you upload to your private marketplace.
