NVIDIA Fleet Command brings secure edge AI to enterprises of any size. Transform NVIDIA-Certified Systems into secure edge appliances and connect them to the cloud in minutes. From the cloud, users can deploy and manage applications from the NGC Catalog or NGC Private Registry, update system software over the air, and manage systems remotely with nothing but a browser and internet connection.
This user guide details the process from getting started to deploying applications at the edge using NVIDIA Fleet Command. Readers will learn about the necessary prerequisites to get started, configure edge systems at the edge, and set up and deploy applications across the entire edge infrastructure. Also, this guide provides an end-to-end application deployment example for users to follow and ensure they have correctly set up Fleet Command.
