Installing an Edge

An edge can run either as a standalone binary or as a Kubernetes workload. Choose the deployment method that best fits the environment where the edge will run. When the edge needs tools required by integrations such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, build a custom image that includes them.

An edge enrolls into an edge pool with the pool’s enrollment key, and joins the organization that owns the pool. See edge enrollment for how to create a pool and generate its key.

Edges enrolled before pools were introduced, without a pool, have been placed in a pool named default, which is the organization’s default pool.
