Software Updates in IoT with Eclipse hawkBit

Software updates becoming a key requirement in the IoT context and especially with the growth of IoT devices connecting to the internet every day. Security Patches are one of the important and crucial things nowadays but also the ability to deploy new features, to be able to develop iterative and agile, a software update mechanism will solve the problem. The software update process is relatively independent of particular application domains when seen from the back end (cloud) perspective. Updating the software for an entire car may differ from updating the firmware of a single sensor with regard to the connectivity of the device to the
cloud and also to the complexity of the software package update process on the device. However, the process of rolling out the software, e.g. uploading an artifact to the repository, assigning it to eligible devices, managing the rollout campaign for a large number of devices, orchestrating content delivery networks to distribute the package, monitoring and reporting the progress of the roll-out and last but not least requirements regarding security and reliability are quite similar. The Eclipse hawkBit aims to solve these problems for you of rolling out software from a few devices or to a big fleet of devices and monitor the update process.
This talk is a general introduction to the software update process within the IoT context and especially about the hawkBit project and how you manage software updates at large scale with it.
