EdgeX Foundry, https://www.edgexfoundry.org/, is a vendor-neutral software platform at the edge of IoT. It interacts with a variety of IoT devices. Essentially, EdgeX Foundry is a good microservices architecture based on container like docker. Typically, these microservices are categorized into 4 primary service layers. Oftentimes they are deployed at IoT edge system. But in recent years there is a burgeoning trend of supporting multi-tenancy and isolation, and the security issue is the biggest concern in the IoT. So considering such an increasing vulnerability to native container, hw-assisted virtualization like hypervisor and lightweight VM are promoted in IoT edge system. So here we would like to discuss if-how we can put hardware virtualization technologies down to edge site with EdgeX Foundry. Additionally, we incorporate one universal web console into EdgeX to manage and provision IoT devices efficiently.
