Internet of things solution deployment in hybrid environment

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes a set of instructions which, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) solution in a hybrid environment, wherein the method comprises:

• deploying a first agent application on a first edge gateway of a first vendor, by the first edge gateway, to collect a first set of information associated with the first edge gateway;
• deploying a second agent application on a second edge gateway of a second vendor, by the second edge gateway, to collect a second set of information associated with the second edge gateway;
• and
• in response to a determination that a first virtualization software on the first edge gateway or a second virtualization software on the second edge gateway fulfils a first requirement of a template to deploy the IoT solution, receiving the template at the first edge gateway or the second edge gateway from a management entity to deploy the IoT solution on the first edge gateway, the second edge gateway, or both.

A system configured to deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) solution in a hybrid environment, wherein the system comprises:

• a first processor;
• and
• a first non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution by the first processor, cause the first processor to:
• deploy a first agent application on a first edge gateway of a first vendor, by the first edge gateway, to collect a first set of information associated with the first edge gateway;
• and
• in response to a determination that a first virtualization software on the first edge gateway fulfils a first requirement of a template to deploy the IoT solution, receiving the template at the first edge gateway from a management entity to deploy the IoT solution on the first edge gateway.
