Kelvin Edge Services

When you install a Docker Cluster, you have the option to select what Kelvin Edge Services you require at the edge.

Note

This is designed to minimize resource usage to the bare minimum required.

Very useful when using low powered edge servers, like arm devices.

To see what services are available and choose what to enable, click on the Clusters menu on the left sidebar and select the Docker Cluster.

Note

This feature is only available for Docker Clusters.

Click on the Configuration tab and scroll down to Kelvin Edge Services.

Here you can see all the options available;
