Interoperable IoT Components for the Cloud

By on

Cloud Utility x300PRWeb has recently written about the Eclipse Foundation’s announcement of a new collaboration between Internet of Things (IoT) industry leaders to develop interoperable IoT components that can be deployed to a Cloud platform. Bosch Software Innovations, Eurotech and Red Hat will be the initial participants in the collaboration. The collaboration will be part of the existing Eclipse IoT Working Group, a community of 26 open source IoT projects, hosted by the Eclipse Foundation.

IoT platform components provide capabilities that are useful for developing and managing IoT solutions. These commonly include components to implement secure, reliable communication between devices and services, manage and update devices, work with device data and integrate device information into existing enterprise applications. Such components may also be delivered as services on top of an underlying cloud infrastructure platform, like Cloud Foundry or OpenShift.

The article went on to say, the initial release of the Eclipse Kapua source code, contributed by Eurotech and Red Hat, is the first important milestone on the roadmap of this collaboration. Eclipse Kapua offers a core integration framework and an initial set of modular components for device registry, device management, message routing, data management, and application enablement. As a next step, Eclipse Hono, a Bosch Software Innovations-initiated project that enables secure, reliable communication between devices and services, will be integrated as an extension to Kapua.
