Edge platform accounts determine the features and functions that are available for creating and deploying a gateway on an edge platform. For instance, setting up a platform account for the Aviatrix Edge Platform allows the Aviatrix Controller to register with the Aviatrix Edge infrastructure for managing and onboarding edge devices and Edge gateways. Before you can deploy an Aviatrix Edge Gateway, you must set up an account for the edge platform where you want to deploy the gateway.
For Self Managed platform, the default platform account, edge_admin, is automatically created for deploying Aviatrix Edge Gateways in customer managed ESXi and KVM environments.
