Edge nodes

Edge devices are the final point of contact for data from the cloud to the end user. An edge node is a physical device with a Linux or equivalent operating system that can serve data to an end user from the edge.

In Darcy Cloud , nodes are edge devices that run Darcy Agents. Ultimately, we want to deploy apps to these nodes to put them to work.
