Concepts¶

Workspace¶

The workspace is the root folder containing the configurations of all items (nodes, dms instances, devicehub instances, ...).

Item¶

The workspace contains a collection of items organized as a tree.

Each item contains a .item.yaml file in its folder. Note that if that file were to be removed, then the dhops would not be able to function correctly anymore.

Node¶

A Node represents the configuration of a server (e.g.: debian) where multiple instances of the Device Management Server (DMS) and DeviceHub can be deployed into the Docker daemon running on this server.

Device Management Server (DMS)¶

A DMS represents the configuration of an instance of the Device Management Server.

DeviceHub¶

A DeviceHub represents the configuration of an instance of the DeviceHub.
