AnythingDB
AnythingDB is a flexible, secure database that enables you to create a digital model for a smart connected ecosystem.
User Functions
User Functions provide the capability to execute custom business rules by writing code in the most popular languages, and automatically deploying the code without provisioning servers, or building an API, or maintaining the infrastructure.
Stream Processing
Stream Processing is a method of tracking and analyzing streams of information of an event, and eventually obtaining useful structured conclusions out of that raw information.
Real Time Visualization
Real Time Visualization offers down-to-the-second data (real-time), automatically updating charts with anomaly detection and user feedback functions.
EdgeOps
Altair IoT Studio EdgeOps is a set of tools for building, maintaining and continuously improving code in resource constrained devices at the edge of smart connected ecosystems.
Marketplace
Marketplace provides you with predefined sets of applications for the Edge.
Access Control
Access Control is how you manage which users and external applications can create, read, update or delete information in Altair IoT Studio.
Labels
Labels enable you to categorize entities such as Things into customer defined tags.
Object Storage
Object Storage is a powerful and versatile way to store, manage and retrieve various data types within the platform.
Space Settings
Utility Belt
The Utility Belt is a web component enabling you to add content to Studio, such as function logs and MQTT inspector, that will persist when navigating through other sections in the platform.
Developers Documentation
Access to API documentation.

ECP Management Service

The ECP Management Service needs to be installed on a K3s installation to connect to the Altair IoT Studio interface after which, management and orchestration can be done from the cloud.

Install K3s on 64-bit Linux

The Edge Compute Platform uses K3s, a lightweight kubernetes.

After editing and saving the file, reboot the Raspberry Pi for the changes to take effect.

Run the following command:

sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-raspi

Reboot the Raspberry Pi again using:
```
sudo reboot
```
Access your Raspberry Pi through SSH and install the following command:
```
sudo apt install curl
```

Run the following line to install K3s:

curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_KUBECONFIG_MODE="644" sh -s -

Access the Altair IoT Studio Platform

Open the Altair IoT Studio platform to enable the communication with the Edge Device (Raspberry Pi).
Create a new Asset in the Fleet Management section. This Asset represents the Device (your Raspberry) in which you could install Edge Applications.
1. To create a new Asset, click Edge Ops > Fleet Management > Asset Management and click + New Asset at the top right corner.
2. In the screen that appears, choose the Pre-installed OS option and fill in the fields, read the conditions and mark the boxes as required. Click Next.
  The web page shows two commands that enable you to install the Management app on your Devices. Do this by running these commands on the Raspberry Pi. (You can click on them to cut/paste them into your terminal session.)
  - The first command installs the credentials you need to install and run Edge applications.
  - The second one installs the Edge Compute Platform Management Service that manages the installation and uninstallation of the apps.
  Figure 1.
  
  When you run this command in your Device, the Altair IoT Studio Studio and the Edge Compute Platform Management Service communicate with each other and when the installation and the communication are finished, it will display the following image.
  Figure 2.
3. Click on Next.
  You will see that the installation is finished and displays the device status, such as the CPU and Memory Usage and the Deployment Stats.
