Enterprise Architectures and Cloud Architectures, Gateway Network, and Support Changes

Using Ignition in wide deployments, whether in enterprise networks or cloud systems, has become very common. Learn about architectures that are needed to support this, Gateway Network configuration, and automatic features like History splitting and intelligent location querying. Additionally, some changes are coming to Ignition's support packages that we'll discuss.

Module Development

Ignition has a rich SDK for creating your own modules. We'll start by talking about when it's appropriate to go this route, and then will jump right in with an overview of how to create an 8.0 / 8.1 module with both the new driver API and the Perspective Component API.
