Prerequisites

Before adding and provisioning an edge device and connecting it to Tricloud Nexus, you must first install a supported OS on the target computer. You must also ensure that the target computer has outbound network connectivity to a set of pre-defined hostnames, which is used during provisioning and for data collection. See this list of hostnames used by edge devices.

An edge device in Tricloud Nexus is based on Azure IoT Edge, which supports a range of OS options. To learn more about the capabilities and supported systems, see the official documentation.
