How can I tell the disk-size of an IOT-Edge module?


On Azure I got an IoT Edge device with some modules (containers) installed in it (it's a Linux machine). Could not find anywhere how I can tell the disk size of those modules. The problem is that some of the modules are deployed remotely by some proprietary software, whose size I cannot know in advance. Question is - how can I tell the size of each module?


Solution

  • IotEdge modules are docker containers so you can ssh on your machine and use

    sudo docker ps --size
