SOS Architecture

Each SOS node consists of a collection of services that manage specific aspects of the node itself and its behaviour.

The services are:

• agent
• storage
• data discovery
• node discovery
• metadata
• user and role
• context

Each service, except for the agent one, can be exposed to the outside world by running a REST server. You should set the service to be exposed in the node configuration:

"services": {
      "context": {
        "exposed": false
      },
      "storage": {
        "exposed": true
      },
      ...
}
