Resin.io Says Containers Are a Perfect Management Platform for IoT
Summary
Alison Davis, director of product marketing and strategy at resin.io, explained that the IoT space requires both security and recovery, something that a container infrastructure is ideal at providing. “The host OS interfaces with the hardware watchdog, ensuring a reboot happens if there’s any issue with the low-level software,” explained Zach Walchuk, technical content lead at resin.io, in a blog post. The initial tracking devices proved to be unreliable, requiring a technician to go out to every garbage bin to provide updated software. “They have been able to scale up to thousands of devices in a matter of a months.” Davis said resin.io is different from other IoT-focused cloud implementations like Amazon Web Services’ Greengrass in that resin.io is more focused on management. She said that the company has found a dearth of IoT hardware options that can take full advantage of the work resin.io is putting into its software.
