Services and other manufacturing and

pharma are hottest industries for DevOps

Financial services, high-tech

manufacturing, and retail are all feeling

the heat

IoT is warming up for DevOps adoption

Physical devices, power consumption and scale of data define the uniqueness of an IOT solution

9

• Multi-disciplinary solution

• Large vulnerability landscape

• Power management, form factor, operating conditions

for physical devices

• Device management

• Over The Air (OTA) updates

• Data velocity, variety and volume over scale

• Connectivity spectrum

The testing and deployment phases are hotspots when implementing DevOps in IOT projects

10

Testing Deployment

• Mimic the field

• Operating conditions –

battery, form factor

• Device compatibility,

version, model

• Device management

• Test for load under

deployment

• Device certification

We have successfully deployed enhanced DevOps across client engagements, here is an example

11

How can IOT solutions in Connected Farms be tested and deployed leveraging DevOps?

• Simulate the standard data sets for

automated testing

• Version control the models – Device as

code

• Self diagnostics testing for real life

Our recommendations for adopting DevOps in IOT solution development

12

1 Don’t force fit DevOps, assess for natural fitment

2 Model the devices - “Device as code”

Emulation and Simulation are key

4 Plan for flexibility and scale
