azure-iot-edge

azure-iot-edge is a Linux software product for running cloud-oriented processing on IoT devices. It brings Azure services, artificial intelligence workloads, and custom logic closer to the devices that use them. This allows an IoT solution to operate with processing performed locally rather than relying entirely on a remote cloud environment.

The software is intended for developers and teams building or operating IoT solutions on cross-platform devices. It supports deployments that use cloud intelligence locally, including situations where the solution may run either connected to the cloud or offline. Its managed-service model is designed to help coordinate these workloads as an IoT deployment grows.

As an open-source product, azure-iot-edge can be used and reviewed under its open-source license. The license information is relevant to organizations evaluating how the software can fit into their development and deployment processes. The product is listed in the System Tools category because it provides the runtime and management foundation for running IoT-related services and custom processing at the edge.

MirrorNest distributes azure-iot-edge for Linux by mirroring the official build directly onto its own storage. Before publication, the mirrored build is scanned for malware. This gives Linux users a catalog-based way to obtain the official build while keeping the product aligned with its System Tools classification.
