Core, Device Service, Application Breakout 6/1/2017

General Agreements Importance of getting the APIs right trumps dealing with performance or other potential issues at this time Use existing Java services for now Focus on “quality” issues first Minimal viable product must include base security/sys management services Performance targets: 2GB memory 2-3 minute start/boot time Latency times acceptable for now but need to be predictable. (300ms to export; 500ms from capture to actuation). Build the first release toward “forgiving” use cases Example – building automation What we call the next formal release is TBD (beta, alpha, …??) Target fall conference for unveiling (exact venue TBD and based on deliverable progress) In parallel: work technology choices for theoretical minimum footprint and streaming data

Consensus MVP MVP security services and hooks into the other services MVP system management services and hooks into the other services Review and stabilize the APIs of the other services Including native data model Improve the install process Provide an export SDK or extension capability Make it easier to get data out MVP will be based on use case – what protocols / standards do we need to support to start? Create a collection of device services from the SDK to support intended forgiving use case(s) Virtual Device service (already done) also MVP Improve and increase the examples and documentation Require a testing process/framework (general QA effort) Make sure all the microservices deliver when working together

Proposed Working Groups & Tasks Device & Device SDK WG Determine supported devices/protocols based on forgiving UC for first release Build first Device Services Virtual DS improvements as required Add security & system management hooks into device services (and SDK) Review APIs & SDK and recommend API changes Add/improve DS docs/examples Core WG Review/stabilize core & supporting services APIs and internal data model Responsible for overall MVP performance targets Add security & system management hooks into core services Add/improve core and supporting services docs/examples Evaluation for lowering footprint and supporting streaming analytics in parallel

Proposed Working Groups & Tasks Applications WG Review/stabilize export layer APIs Define supported MVP export protocols/standards for 1st release Implement Export Services extensions (SDK?) & client registration to meet MVP Add/improve export service docs/examples QA/Test WG Develop Test Harness/Framework Provide means to measure performance, footprint, etc.

Proposed Working Groups & Tasks DevOps WG Improve EdgeX installation Miscellaneous Defer development of Roadmap to TSC Defer naming and marketing of first release to the board
