The Ed-Fi Alliance publishes a set of .NET binaries and databases with each ODS / API release. These binaries can be used to deploy a non-extended version of the Ed-Fi ODS / API that has the as-shipped database model. The binaries are useful for system integrators and others wanting to deploy a "core-data-model-only" ODS / API quickly and easily.
These files also support developers creating automated deployments for cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. Some deployments which use these binaries are currently published in the Ed-Fi Exchange.
These binaries are available for versions of the ODS and API from version 2.3.1 onwards and include minor and major point version changes. Note that patch release versions will be provided at the Alliance's discretion.
The binaries are published in a Azure Storage account at:
https://odsassets.blob.core.windows.net/public/CloudOds/deploy/release/{version}/{filename}
The file names are:
- EdFi.Ods.SwaggerUI.zip
- EdFi.Ods.WebApi.zip
- EdFi.Ods.AdminApp.Web.zip
- EdFi_Ods.bacpac
- EdFi_Ods_Minimal_Template.bacpac
- EdFi_Ods_Populated_Template.bacpac
For example, the 3.1.1 version of the WebApi is available at:
