Now Available: Preview Release 1

Margo Preview Release 1 (PR1) is now available. This technical preview enables the industrial edge ecosystem to work hands–on with the Margo specification for interoperable application lifecycle management.

Get Started with PR1 FAQ Announcement

Edge interoperability for industrial automation ecosystems

The Margo initiative defines mechanisms for interoperable orchestration at scale of edge applications/workloads and devices. It will deliver the interoperability promise through an open standard, a reference implementation and comprehensive compliance testing toolkit. Margo unlocks barriers to innovation in complex multi-vendor environments and accelerates digital transformation for organizations of all sizes.

That’s why it’s named after the Latin word for edge.

Open interoperability gives users the freedom to build best of breed solutions without unnecessary costs and delays.

Solutions simplified for faster deployment, scalability and operation – with fewer and less specialized resources.

Scalable and repeatable deployment accelerates innovation and growth for organizations of any size.

In modern industrial operations, a lack of system interoperability drives up integration costs, drains engineering time and creates critical operational gaps. Hosted under the neutral governance of the Linux Foundation, Margo delivers a unified framework for edge interoperability through an open source specification, a reference implementation and a comprehensive compliance testing toolkit.
