Azure Edge Extensions
Azure Edge Extensions is a suite of sample software tools and solutions designed to help you take full advantage of the power of Azure’s edge computing platforms. From notebook playgrounds, to CI/CD, to model transpilers, to production ready IaC, Azure Edge Extensions are all built with the goal of composition in mind. Fork and integrate the elements you need, and see your solutions come to life.
Design Philosophy
Azure Edge Extensions are all built with the same basic principles, echoing the Unix Philosophy:
- Solve one, narrow business problem really well
- Code for contributions, not machine optimization
- Use well defined interfaces that enable composition
- Create a reaction for every action
- Output is always human readable and machine parsable
