Introduction

This setup guide walks you through the process of “adopting” the Juniper Apstra Edge to enable Data Center Assurance (DCA). It then guides you through the process of spinning up the Juniper Apstra Edge Docker container.

Note: This Edge setup guide is for Juniper Apstra version 4.2. If you are using Juniper Apstra 5.1, you can install the Edge from within Apstra. For more information, see Apstra Cloud Services Edge Workflow.

The Apstra Edge is a hardware-agnostic virtual device that runs within a container in the data center. The Apstra Edge is a required component for enabling DCA and it's supported features, like Marvis Virtual Network Assistant for Data Center, Service Awareness, and Impact Analysis. For more information about the features of DCA, see the Release Notes: Data Center Assurance, and the Juniper Apstra User Guide.
