Read moreHow to Authenticate Users at the Edge
When you run web applications at the edge, user authentication becomes a first-class concern. You typically have multiple applications, multiple sites, and multiple user roles – and where common cloud identity providers require continuous connectivity that edge environments cannot always guarantee … In this post, I’ll…
Read moreAvassa Proven Scalability: Managing 10 000 + Edge Sites
Validated performance for large-scale edge environments Edge computing isn’t cloud computing on a smaller scale, it’s a fundamentally different challenge. Each site runs on constrained resources, often disconnected, and there may be tens of thousands of them. That’s why scalability and autonomy are built into…
Read moreEdge Container Registries Explained: How to Distribute Images Reliably at Scale
A mostly hidden piece of the container application puzzle is the image registry. If you’ve used Linux containers, you’ve come across one: it’s where container images are stored. Registries can be public (like Docker Hub) or private, typically where you store the output from your…

Monitoring distributed edge systems efficiently is essential for maintaining reliability and performance. The Avassa Edge Platform provides flexible alerting capabilities that can notify you when important events occur across your edge fleet. In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how to forward Avassa alerts to Grafana for…
Read moreInstalling a Windows server on the Avassa Edge Platform (Yes, it can be done)
We see a lot of legacy Windows applications out there, in particular in Industrial IoT/OT domains. Common examples are HMI (human-machine interfaces) types of machines. We’re modernizing the network, now what? Our customers are actively modernizing their software in the network, bringing in modern applications…
Read moreMoving Beyond Docker Compose and Helm Charts: Purpose-Built for the Edge
When we talk to customers exploring the Avassa Edge Platform, one question we sometimes hear is: “What language do you use to define workloads? Is it Helm Charts? Is it Docker Compose?” It’s a fair question — workload definition formats shape how developers describe, deploy,…

In this blog post, I’ll walk through how to set up the Avassa Edge Platform in a three-layer ISA-95 segmented network using Edge Enforcer proxies. This demo showcases how Avassa can operate even in highly restricted industrial environments. In this article, we explore how the…
Read moreCan you ping it, yes you can!
In this blog post I will show how you can setup a very simple distributed ping application to troubleshoot network issues. In traditional cases you can run ping from your local host or ssh to a host where you would issue the command. But think…
Read moreHow to Size Log Topics in the Avassa Edge Platform
In this blog post, I will describe how to properly size log topics in an Avassa system. Log topics are critical for capturing and reviewing logs from applications and system components, but without proper sizing, they can either consume too much disk space or fail…
Read moreAWS Authentication for Edge Applications using Strongbox Certificates
Edge applications often need to connect back to the cloud—commonly to send data or consume services. A critical part of this process is secure authentication with AWS. While tokens are frequently used, a stronger and more automated approach is to use short-lived client certificates. In…
