Eclipse Kanto

Eclipse Kanto provides a modular IoT edge software stack for AIoT, configurable and remotely manageable by an IoT cloud ecosystem of choice.

Eclipse Kanto will bring all the essential IoT enablement for edge devices

• Cloud connectivity and digital twins in the cloud via integrations with most fit-for-purpose public IoT platforms like Eclipse IoT packages, Bosch IoT Suite or Microsoft Azure IoT
• Comprehensive semantic representation and modelling of edge functions and state using Eclipse Vorto or alternatives that might better fit specific domains
• Container management using open standards and open specifications like OCI and integrations with open source container management runtimes like contianerd, podman and more depending on domain and hardware requirements
• Local messaging and communication (pub-sub) between devices and applications using MQTT and integrations with open domain-specific protocols or standards.
• Local edge management and configuration including containers, logs, files, runtime metrics, performance monitoring, health status and more depending on the domain specifics
• Flexible software updates for diverse software like containerized applications, device firmware, operating system, scripts, etc. via open software management standards and integrations with best-in-class device and software management public backends like Eclipse hawkBit, Bosch IoT Suite Device Management, Microsoft Azure IoT Device Management and more
• Flexible deployment options and integration with existing Linux ecosystems like Debian, Apertis Pro and Yocto Project
• Integrations with open source complex event processing, analytics & AI systems and frameworks to enable analytics & AI for the lightweight edge

In addition, device-side client SDKs and libraries (southbound) will be provided for Go, Python, Rust to ease development of containerized device applications and software update agents.
