Eligibility
Customer, workload, data, identity, device, and region requirements.
Environments / Disconnected Edge
Local compute with controlled synchronization
A reference architecture for remote, intermittent, constrained, or air-gapped operation using signed updates, local identity and policy, evidence buffering, and safe degraded behavior.
Reference design
Evidence matrix
Disconnected Edge control profile
| Dimension | Planned behavior |
|---|---|
| Offline window | Identity, policy, model, and certificate expiry are bounded. |
| Updates | Bundles are signed, staged, verified, and reversible. |
| Data | Synchronization is selective and deny-by-default. |
| Energy | Scheduler reacts to battery state, thermal headroom, and critical load. |
Capability set
Every deployment declares
Isolation
Physical, network, identity, key, operator, and governance boundaries.
Connectivity
Permitted links, private paths, offline behavior, and synchronization.
Availability
Services, configurations, quantities, dates, dependencies, and exceptions.

The right environment is the least restrictive boundary that still satisfies every mission, legal, security, data, resilience, and operating requirement.
