Virtual Edge Compute Stack hosts can be used for both testing and also as part of a CI/CD pipeline to provide tests as an automated procedure, enabling the entire Edge Compute Stack host and applications to be deployed in a controlled manner. It also allows end-to-end testing of Edge locations before deploying hosts to the physical devices at that Edge location.

The following virtualization platforms can be used to deploy a virtual Edge Compute Stack host:

  • VMware vSphere

  • VMware ESXi

  • VMware Fusion

  • VMware Workstation Pro

Note:

Note: VMware Workstation Player is not supported
