We are excited to announce the release of Ed-Fi Admin Console 1-RC1 (Release Candidate 1)!

What is the Ed-Fi Admin Console?​

The Ed-Fi Admin Console is an open-source tool designed to simplify the administration of Ed-Fi ODS/API instances in multi-instance and multi-tenant environments with ODS/API 7. It provides a modern, React/TypeScript-based UI and .NET Core worker processes for robust, scalable management of Ed-Fi technology stacks.

The source code was granted by The Texas Education Exchange, which runs as "Tech Console" as a large implementation for many districts, and modified to work for other agencies to use.

Key Features​

  • ODS/API Instance Management: Easily list, provision, copy, and delete ODS/API instances.

  • Application & Vendor Management: Securely manage keys and secrets for vendors and applications.

  • Health Check Microservice: Monitor instance health and summary counts for major entities.

What’s New in 1-RC1?​

  • First public release candidate for the Admin Console 1.0 series.
  • Integrated Health Check Microservice for near real-time instance status.
  • Instance Management Worker Process for automated instance operations.
  • Improved documentation and reference configurations.
  • Enhanced QA automation and Docker support.

Getting Started​

Admin Console source code and documentation is available at the GitHub repo Ed-Fi-Admin-Console.
