Edge operations · Evaluation
Evaluate edge operations against agreed evidence.
One field site with one telemetry or inference workflow and a representative central consumer.
Primary capability
Service Endlet
Evaluation plan
Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.
Run selected site services locally while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
02
Verify the technical path
Have representatives from field operations, platform engineering, analytics teams, OT security review the architecture path and policy boundaries.
03
Review the decision evidence
Determine whether selected operational workloads can run at the site edge with the required data locality, access policy, observability, and revocation controls.
Acceptance criteria
Define success with observable evidence and a decision.
Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.
01
The evaluation includes one energy site, one Service Endlet host, an approved workload, representative operational data, and a defined central-service path.
02
OT, platform, network, security, and application owners confirm the workload identity, data-locality rule, and access policy.
03
The team records Endlet and workload state, data locality, service paths, execution results, telemetry, and revocation.
04
The results show whether the workload runs locally with the agreed identity, access, visibility, and lifecycle controls.
Operational outcome
Run selected site services locally while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
Evaluation scope
One field site with one telemetry or inference workflow and a representative central consumer.
Decision
Determine whether selected operational workloads can run at the site edge with the required data locality, access policy, observability, and revocation controls.
