Create an Asset

This will walk you through the process of creating an Asset in SmartWorks and connecting it to the cloud.
Note: This will create a standalone Asset; see the Distributions and Rollouts sections for creating a Fleet of Assets.
  1. From the Edge Ops menu, click Fleet Management, and then click New Asset .


  2. Set a name for your Asset, and then verify that you have completed the appropriate preparation steps (installing k3s and Ubuntu, etc.)
    Figure 1.
  3. Walk through the management service installation steps. You will need to have access to your hardware's terminal and have administrative privileges on the hardware.
    Figure 2.
  4. Run the two kubectl commands in your hardware's shell. Simply copy/paste if possible.
  5. When the Asset has successfully established connection with SmartWorks Studio, the following message will appear. Select the Next button to continue.

    You will be taken then to the Asset's monitoring page. This is where you can see it's operating statistics and deployments.
