Abstract: A method may involve receiving, via at least one processor, a request from an industrial component operating in an industrial automation system, such that the request may include an indication of a software function. The method may then involve querying a container registry having a plurality of container images based on the software function, identifying at least one container image of the plurality of container images that corresponds to the software function, sending an indication of the at least one container image to the industrial component, and receiving a selection of the at least one container image from the industrial component. The method may also involve retrieving the at least one container image from the container registry and sending the at least one container image to the industrial component.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions that cause a processor to receive an industry profile associated with an industrial automation system that includes a plurality of devices, each including a compute surface that performs software tasks. The instructions cause the processor to determine data processing tasks to perform based on the industry profile, identify a portion of the devices to perform the data processing tasks based on the compute surface available for each of the devices, deploy a container to each of the portion of the devices, wherein each container of each of the portion of the devices performs at least one of the data processing tasks, receive one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the plurality of devices, and update a registry to indicate the one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the devices.
