Node Architecture Overview

Agent Node

The M1 Mini and M1E are the foundational units of the iG3 Edge Network. Equipped with modest Edge AI hardware, each Edge AI device runs as a K3s Agent Node, responsible for:

• Hosting microservices (e.g., AI inference, data collection)

• Performing real-time tasks (e.g., audio/video processing)

• Communicating with Master Nodes for coordination

Master Node (Control Plane)

Deployed in a more robust environment, the Master Node runs the K3s Server role on M1 Device:

• Controls scheduling, state management, and deployment logic.

• Maintains the cluster state for all connected agent nodes.

• Integrates with the AI Gateway and LLM Gateway for service orchestration.
