Eclipse ioFog™ 1.2.0

1.2.0

Description

This release adds significant functionality for deployment, management, and integration with existing infrastructure. In this version we add integration with Kubernetes and introduce the ability to orchestrate from the cloud down to the edge seamlessly. Additionally, this release introduces the new command line tool called "iofogctl" for deploying and configuring ioFog software remotely, managing and deploying microservice applications and remotely monitoring your Edge Compute Networks. Lastly, Controller now includes a new web based visualizer for all ioFog state.

API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

We have made major improvements in the architecture of Controller, simplifying deployment and unifying a new visualizer into the distro. Additionally, ioFog agent install now seamlessly supports making the necessary changes to ARM Docker envionrments to remove a bunch of headache for end users. 

The addition of iofogctl as a unified CLI drove us to expose further management and monitoring APIs via REST, so the entire platform is now configurabler and manageable via REST.

Security Issues

Inceased identity verification between ioFog Connector and ioFog Controller to allow for widely distributed deployments to operate more securely.

Non-Code Aspects

We have added further documentation tutorials that include

  • ioFog platform deployment to kubernetes
  • Installing ioFog via HELM to Kubernetes
  • iofogctl command line tool and management/deployment of ioFog
  • Updated all of the demo/tutorial documentation 
  • Improved the API documentation
