Edge

Edge nodes extend Develocity services to remote locations, reducing latency for distributed teams.

While the full lifecycle of an Edge node is managed in the dedicated Edge Manual, central configuration and node registration are handled within the Develocity administration using the user interface or unattended configuration.

Builds that have enabled "Edge discovery" can use the Develocity user’s location setting to automatically assign an Edge to use as a remote Build Cache. Previously, using the Develocity Build Cache node in a distributed fashion required per-user local build configuration changes. The Develocity Edge with "Edge discovery" removes the need for extra local build configuration and allows Edge locations and instances to be updated dynamically as the Develocity server manages all configuration.

Key Administrative Tasks

For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the following sections in the Develocity Edge User Manual:

Configure via the User Interface

To manage Edge nodes from the Develocity User Interface:

  1. Navigate to Administration  Edges.

  2. From this dashboard, you can monitor the health of Edge locations, view data transfer statistics and manage Edge node registration tokens.

Configure via Unattended Configuration

See the Develocity Edge User Manual for detailed instructions on configuring Edge nodes via Unattended Configuration.

Technical Notes

  • Permissions: Users require the Configure Edge nodes permission to access these settings.

  • Connectivity: Ensure that the firewall rules allow outbound traffic from Edge nodes to the Develocity primary instance on the configured ports.
