The message that will pass between instances are robots work orders in one way and robots feedback in the other way
All of them are fixed robots (not automotive) and with on prem safety, not dependent of any networks Order are basic JSON document with list of instructions to pass once, and then during the execution and at the end the feedbacks allow us to report where we are in the process > Le 15 mars 2023 à 19:38, Justin Bertram <jbert...@apache.org> a écrit : > > I'm not sure what exactly you're doing on your edge node so it's hard to > make a recommendation. > > > Justin > > On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 1:07 PM Yoann Gini <yoann.g...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks a lot for that feedback! >> >> Between the three option (bridges, federation, and broker connection) what >> would be the most suited for a configuration only at the edge side? >> >> All our edges have a certificate available published by a private CA, >> ideally I would like my central instance to be with the minimum >> configuration possible, accepting anything from anyone with a valid >> certificate, letting the Edge instance in charge of all the replication >> (bi-directional) settings. >> >> >>> Le 15 mars 2023 à 17:38, Justin Bertram <jbert...@apache.org> a écrit : >>> >>> The edge use-case with substantial hardware is quite different from the >>> classic IoT use-case.
