Distributed Applications

ioFog is a platform for running distributed applications on Edge Compute Networks. A distributed application is made up of some number of microservices.

We can specify distributed applications in YAML through potctl's Application kind. We can then deploy an entire distributed application through potctl by using this specification:

potctl deploy -f application.yaml

We can also deploy individual microservices if we wish. The potctl Microservice kind allows us to do this.

potctl deploy -f microservice.yaml

The rest of this section will cover how we can manage our distributed applications and microservices after we have deployed them.
