Management and control across heterogeneous edge devices of a client network using device abstractions

Abstract

Automatic onboarding, management, and control across heterogeneous edge devices of a client network using device abstractions may be performed (e.g., different types of edge devices manufactured by different vendors). A device onboarding and integration service may emulate, by a first device abstraction, an edge device of a client network, where the edge device is a first type of device. The service emulates, by a second device abstraction, the edge device as a second type of edge device (e.g., from a different vendor/uses a different API). The service updates a state of the first device abstraction based on a state of the edge device. The service then updates a state of the emulating, by a second device abstraction, the edge device as a second type of edge device. The second device abstraction sends its updated state to an application at the client network.
