Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes492 views
This document discusses IoT fleet management using balena, an open source platform for managing connected devices at scale. It introduces balenaCloud for controlling device fleets through a web interface, balenaOS for running on devices, and balenaEngine for containerization. The workflow involves creating an account, application, adding devices, and pushing code containers. It also covers architecture, scaling fleets, best practices, and additional resources.

- 9. Architecture
- 10. balenaOS Built on Yocto Linux, Optimized for Embedded Devices and IoT Usage ● Minimal by design (increased security) ● Less RAM / resource requirements ● Redundant RootFS partitions ● More tolerant of power loss ● Minimized SD Card writes
- 11. balenaEngine Container engine built for Embedded and IoT use-cases, based on the Moby Project from Docker ● Minimal by design ● Less RAM / resource requirements ● Deltas pulls to save bandwidth ● Fault tolerance on container pulls
