## Retail AI Suite
The Retail AI Suite in version 1.2.0 introduces a set of targeted enhancements designed to
support edge-native AI workloads in retail environments. This suite helps solution builders
evaluate hardware configurations, optimize AI pipelines, and deploy intelligent retail
applications that improve operational efficiency, customer experience, and loss prevention.



## Edge AI Libraries
Edge AI Libraries v1.2.0 includes libraries, microservices, and tools for edge application
development, with sample applications across multiple industries.


## Edge Microvisor Toolkit v3.1
Improvements have been introduced to the ISO installer, hardware support, and integral
components. All that on top of the changes from Azure Linux 3.0.20250423-3.0.

## Edge Manageability Framework v3.1
Edge Manageability Framework enables you to securely onboard and provision remote edge
devices to a central management plane, orchestrate Kubernetes* clusters and applications
