To build, deploy, and operate a Knowledge Orchestration system you need one or more LEDR Appliances, which you deploy into a hosting environment of your choosing to create a Knowledge Space. How many knowledge nodes you need and how you distribute them is totally dependent upon the performance and privacy demands of your specific use case.
The main component in your LEDR Appliance is the Orchestra Host, an HGTP server that holds entities and manages connectivity to other hosts in the knowledge space.
There are a number of other standard "adapters" that come bundled into the LEDR Appliance to give it additional functionality. Things like the object adapter, which provides the methods to interact with entities as generic objects. The file adapter, which provides functionality to store and manipulate files as entities in Orchestra, and the Registry adapter which allows developers to create and manipulate registries or lists of like entities in the knowledge space. This page gives you a complete list of the adapters that are bundled as part of the LEDR Appliance. You, of course, can build and add your own adapters to give your Orchestra system any functionality you desire.
Your appliance also comes with a simple command line user interface program called the Orchestra User Interface (OUI) which you can use to set up and operate your Orchestra Hosts. All of these functions are documented in the help facility of the OUI tool. We have added the **list of OUI commands **here for easy reference and to give you a sense of what you can do with your Orchestra host once you have your appliance installed.
Currently we ship the LEDR Appliance as a set of docker image files, which you download from LEDR's knowledge space. We also provide a set of scripts which will install and configure your appliance for you.
We are working on a hardware version of the LEDR Appliance to make deployment and operation of Orchestra systems simpler, more secure and cost effective. We will keep you posted as this effort matures.
