Intel and Canonical

Developer workshop

Building enterprise-grade solutions with EdgeX on Ubuntu Core

In this workshop, we will explore how Ubuntu Core and EdgeX, an enterprise-grade solution supported by Canonical, enable companies to focus on their business case and application development while also reducing time-to-market, saving time and money on operations tasks, and keeping the devices secured and updated.

Get ready for the Intel and Canonical Developer Workshop in Madrid!

Billions of IoT and edge devices will be deployed on the market within the next decade which presents new challenges for adopting the right frameworks for accelerating the development and deployment of edge applications running on Linux-based devices.

This is an open invitation for Developers to participate in this great laboratory where you will work head to head with Intel and Canonical experts in real-world topics that will help you gain abilities in the market.

What will you learn in this workshop

Face new challenges

Understand what are the challenges facing the IoT & Edge market and how to overcome them

Be more productive with EdgeX

Learn about how you can accelerate the development of your edge applications with EdgeX

Protect your IoT devices

Ubuntu Core provides security and reliability underlying OS for your IoT and edge devices

Canonical full support

Be ahead of the market on your edge applications and get up to 10-year support with Canonical.

These are the tools that will be used

EdgeX Foundry is an open source, vendor neutral, Edge IoT middleware platform, under the LF Edge umbrella. It collects data from sensors (i.e. “things”) at the Edge and acts as a dual transformation engine sending and receiving data to and from enterprise, cloud, and on-premise applications.

Ubuntu Core is a version of Ubuntu optimised for IoT-native embedded systems. Ubuntu Core is a containerised OS built on snaps. With snaps, embedded systems benefit from security, immutability, as well as modularity and composability. Software is updated over-the-air through deltas that can automatically roll-back in case of failure.
Canonical supports Ubuntu Core long-term, delivering kernel patches and bug fixes continuously for up to 10 years.

This workshop will help you assimilate these concept:

  • creating device and application services
  • building them as snaps
  • building an Ubuntu Core image
  • flashing and configuring your Ubuntu Core device
  • Install and deploy your applications using the Snap Store

At the end of these hands-on laboratories, you will be able to create your own edge applications using EdgeX as snaps, and deploy them at scale on Ubuntu Core.
