What is Fleet?
Fleet is a platform for managing applications and infrastructure across distributed edge computing networks. It provides infrastructure-as-code tools that let developers deploy, monitor, and maintain applications on edge devices without managing each one individually. The platform is designed for organisations running applications across many physical locations, such as retail stores, manufacturing plants, or IoT networks, where centralised cloud infrastructure isn't practical or fast enough. Fleet offers device management, monitoring, and policy enforcement from a single control point, which helps teams reduce latency issues and maintain security standards across scattered deployments.
Key Features
Infrastructure-as-code
Define and version control your edge infrastructure as code rather than configuring devices manually
Centralised device management
Monitor and manage applications across distributed edge networks from one dashboard
Policy-based security
Apply consistent security policies and configurations across all edge devices automatically
Application deployment
Push updates and new applications to edge devices without visiting physical locations
Monitoring and observability
Track device health, application performance, and network status across your edge environment
AI-assisted support
Get help with troubleshooting and operational decisions through AI-aided tools
Pros & Cons
Advantages
- Reduces manual work involved in managing devices spread across many locations
- Keeps configurations consistent across your entire edge infrastructure
- Lowers latency by running applications closer to where data is generated
- Scales efficiently as you add more edge devices to your network
Limitations
- Requires familiarity with infrastructure-as-code concepts, which may have a learning curve for teams new to this approach
- Best suited for organisations with distributed networks; smaller or centralised deployments may not see as much benefit
Use Cases
