Third Party Agents or Agentless

Overview

Cloud pipelines are Edge Delta agents that are hosted in cloud infrastructure owned and managed by the Edge Delta team.

See how to deploy a cloud pipeline.

You might decide to use Cloud pipelines in the following scenarios:

• data sources are serverless workloads such as AWS Lambda functions or events generated from Amazon Kinesis.
• lightweight edge environments host thin data producers, such as Internet of Things.
• you do not want to take on resource management associated with hosting an additional workload.
• security limitations exist for deploying a pipeline in your environment.

You can create, configure, and remove pipeline configurations using the Edge Delta interface. The Cloud pipelines expose an HTTP, HTTPS, or GRPCS endpoint so you can push data to it.

Push or Pull Data Inputs

Cloud pipelines cater for both push or pull data input integrations. To push data to the Cloud pipeline configure your sources such as an OTEL collector, a CDN or Amazon Kinesis to push data to the pipeline endpoint. To pull data into the Cloud pipeline, add a source node such as HTTP pull configured with your data source’s endpoint to the Cloud pipeline’s configuration.
