Deploy on multiple devices
Let’s learn how to deploy the application on multiple devices on SPEKTRA Edge.
There are two steps for this process to work:
- Set a device label to the target devices
- Create a pod template with selecting the label above as the target device label
With that, let’s get to work.
What you need
To deploy applications on multiple devices on SPEKTRA Edge, you need:
- an access to the SPEKTRA Edge dashboard
- devices provisioned under your project on SPEKTRA Edge
Device Provisioning
Please follow the getting started guide to provision multiple devices on SPEKTRA Edge.Set device labels
Let’s set the device label on multiple devices to group those together as the deployment target.
Open the Update device details page of the Device overview page by selecting the Edit details option of the Device menu.
Hover over the vertical triple dot to show the Device menu.
Set the device label, task:multi-devices in this example, on the Update device detail page as a label to group multiple devices together.
Set device label on the Update device details page.
Label syntax and character set
SPEKTRA Edge labels follow the Kubernetes label synctax and character set.
Please follow their official document for more details.
Please do the same for other devices as well before moving on to the deployment step next.
Deploy with pod templates
Once you set the device labels on your taget devices, now is the time to deploy applications on all those devices in one-shot with a pod template.
The pod template is a template to apply application deployment against multiple devices, similar to the template field of the deployments manifest in Kubernetes.
Let’s create one to see it in action. We’ll use the same application we used for the single device deployment to demonstrate how easy and similar deploying applications on multiple devices.
Go to the Project overview page and click Deploy pod button.
Click Deploy pod button on the Project overview page.
Use the Pod template option in Deploy pod page this time and select the target devices by providing the device label, task:multi-devices in this example, in the Target device labels to deploy field, in addition to the other application information similar to one for the single device deployment.
Select the target device labels to deploy on Deploy pod page.
Click Deploy to deploy it on multiple devices.
Once it’s done, you should be able to see applications all running on the target devices, five devices in this example, from the Project overview page.
awesome application running on all five target devices.
Next step
Congratulations on successfully deploying the application on multiple devices in a single-shot on SPEKTRA Edge.
Let’s proceed to the monitoring applications section as the next step to the mastery of SPEKTRA Edge.
