Introduction

If your devices have been pre-provisioned by Veea to utilize certain solution packages, you might not need to install these services yourself. Please contact your organization or Veea Support for more information.

On the Veea platform, a service is an application that provides functionality to your edge network. Services can range from Veea solutions like SecureConnect, AirLynx and MetaLynx to even your custom developed enterprise solutions - ranging from IoT connectivity to IPTV streaming services to even locally hosted AI Large Language Models.

Each service is delivered in the form of one or more containers. A container is a lightweight, isolated environment used to run software consistently across devices. Containers ensure that services are portable, secure, and able to run reliably regardless of the underlying hardware or operating system version.

In order to install a service, it is recommended that your mesh's health to be "Healthy". If you mesh is showing up as Busy or is reporting errors, see the Troubleshooting section first.

Using Control Center to Install Services

All service management and installation activities are performed through Veea Control Center (CC)—our secure, web-based management interface.

To access Control Center, you will need a valid user account associated with your organization. If you do not have access, please contact your organization’s administration team or Veea Support to request access credentials.

Once logged in, you can monitor, configure, and deploy services to one or more VeeaHubs within your mesh.

Installing a service

To install a service on your VeeaHub Mesh:

Log into Veea Control Center.
Navigate to the Meshes section in the left sidebar.
Click on the mesh where you would like to install the service.
Scroll down to the Subscriptions section.
Click Add a Subscription.
Select the application you wish to install from the list. Configure the available options according to your requirements. Click Deploy to complete the installation.

Click on 'Add a Subscription' to get started

You'll be able to select which applications you want to install. You can select multiple apps.

Once deployed, the service will automatically be downloaded and activated across the VeeaHubs that are part of the selected mesh.

Managing an installed service

To view or manage services running on individual VeeaHubs:

While viewing the selected mesh in Control Center, scroll to the VeeaHubs on this Mesh section.
Locate the VeeaHub you want to manage.
Click Services in the Actions column.

Click on the "Services" button on the right column to configure any apps you have installed.

This will take you to a detailed view of the services deployed on that specific hub, where you can view health metrics, logs, or adjust configuration settings depending on the service.

Removing a service

To uninstall a service from your mesh:

Within the same Subscriptions section of the mesh view, locate the service you wish to remove.
Click Remove next to the service name.

This will initiate the uninstallation process across all VeeaHubs in the mesh. The service and associated containers will be stopped and removed accordingly.
