# Deploy with Edge Orchestrator

Edge Orchestrator, part of Intel’s Edge Software, simplifies edge application deployment and management, making it easier to deploy edge solutions at scale. Edge Orchestrator provides:

- **Secure Infrastructure Management**: Offers secure and efficient remote onboarding and management of your edge node fleet across sites and geographies. Zero-trust security configuration reduces the time required to secure your edge applications.

- **Deployment Orchestration and Automation**: Lets you roll out and update applications and configure infrastructure nodes across your network from a single pane of glass. Edge Orchestrator provides automated cluster orchestration and dynamic application deployment.

- **Automated Deployment**: Automates the remote installation and updating of applications at scale.

- **Deep Telemetry**: Gives you policy-based life cycle management and centralized visibility into your distributed edge infrastructure and deployments.

- **Flexible Configuration**: From organizing your physical infrastructure to managing the permutations of executing applications in a variety of runtime environments, Edge Orchestrator gives you the flexibility to define the policies, criteria, and hierarchies that make the most sense for your specific business needs.

To deploy the **Pallet Defect Detection** Sample Application with the Edge Orchestrator, follow the steps described in this document.

## Deploy with Edge Orchestrator

### Prerequisites

1. Access to the web interface of the Edge Orchestrator with one or more [edge nodes onboarded](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/set_up_edge_infra/edge_node_onboard/index.html) to the Edge Orchestrator.

2. Clusters with a [privilege template](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/advanced_functionality/set_up_a_cluster_template.html) have been created on the needed edge nodes following the steps in [Create Cluster](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/set_up_edge_infra/clusters/create_clusters.html#create-cluster).

### Make the Deployment Package Available

1. Clone the **edge-ai-suites** repository and change into the Pallet Defect Detection directory:

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/open-edge-platform/edge-ai-suites
    cd edge-ai-suites/manufacturing-ai-suite/industrial-edge-insights-vision/apps/pallet-defect-detection
    ```

2. From the web browser, open the URL of the Edge Orchestrator and import the deployment package in the folder **deployment-package** by following the steps in [Import Deployment Package](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/package_software/import_deployment.html#import-deployment-package).

3. After you have imported the deployment package into Edge Orchestrator, you can see it in the list of deployment packages:

See [Deployment Packages](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/package_software/deploy_packages.html#view-deployment-packages) for more information on deployment packages.

### Deploy the Application onto the Edge Nodes

To set up a deployment:

1. Click the **Deployments** tab on the top menu to view the Deployments page. On the Deployments page, you can view the list of deployments that have been created. The status indicator shows a quick view of the status of the deployment, which depends on many factors.

2. Select the **Deployments** tab and click the **Setup a Deployment** button. The Setup a Deployment page appears.

3. On the Setup a Deployment page, select the **pdd** package for the deployment from the list, and click **Next**. The Select a Profile step appears.

4. In the Select a Profile step, select the deployment profile, and click **Next**. The Override Profile Values page appears.

5. The Override Profile Values page shows the deployment profile values that are available for overriding. Provide the necessary overriding values, then click **Next** to proceed to the Select Deployment Type step.

6. On the Select Deployment Type page, select the type of deployment, and click **Next**:

    1. If you select **Automatic** as the deployment type, enter the deployment name and metadata in the key-value format, to select the target cluster.

    2. If you select **Manual** as the deployment type, enter the deployment name and select the clusters from the list of clusters.

7. Click **Next** to view the Review page.

8. Verify that the deployment details are correct and click **Deploy**.

After a few minutes, the deployment will start and will take about 5 minutes to complete.

In the Edge Orchestrator Web UI, you can track the application installation through the [View Deployment Details](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/package_software/deployment_details.html#view-deployment-details) page.

The **Pallet Defect Detection** Sample Application is fully deployed when the applications become green and the status is shown as _Running_.

You can view the deployment status on the Deployments page.

> Note: If the deployment fails for any reason, the deployment status will display the “Error” or “Down” status.

For more information on setting up a deployment, see [Set up a Deployment](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/package_software/setup_deploy.html#set-up-a-deployment).

### Access the **Pallet Defect Detection** Sample Application

1. Download the kubeconfig file of the edge node cluster that contains the deployed application. See [Kubeconfig Download](https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/user_guide/set_up_edge_infra/clusters/accessing_clusters.html).

1. Follow the steps in the **Pallet Defect Detection** [Documentation](./deploy-with-helm.md#deploy-the-application) on the usage of the application.

   > **Note:** Skip the Install the Helm chart step.
