OpEdge
Industrial Edge Gateway – Release 01.0.00 – 10/2022
6 Applications
The OpEdge allows users to run Edge applications as containers or virtual machines. The
OpEdge supports Docker containers technology to allow user applications to run independently of
the OpEdge software.
6.1 Containers
A container is a lightweight virtual computer system with its own CPU, memory, network interface,
and storage, created on a physical hardware system (located off- or on-premises).
This feature allows the user to create multiple containers and run them on the same host
operating system.
The user can monitor the following information for a particular container:
•
Processor used in percentage
•
Memory used in MB
All containers on the host machine run in isolation from one another and share the same physical
hardware resources. The user can manage container operations such as start, stop, pause, etc.
