Scope
Eclipse Kapua™ is a modular integration platform for IoT devices and smart sensors that aims at bridging Operation Technology with Information Technology. Eclipse Kapua focuses on providing comprehensive management of edge IoT nodes including their connectivity, configuration, and application life cycle. Aggregated real-time data streams from the edge can be archived for historical analysis or flexibly routed towards enterprise IT systems and applications. Finally, Eclipse Kapua provides a web-based administration console and is accessible through RESTful API for easy application integration.
The goal of the Eclipse Kapua project is to provide an IoT integration platform with the following high-level requirements:
- The platform manages the connectivity for IoT devices and IoT gateways through a different set of protocols. Initial support will be offered to established IoT protocols like MQTT. Other protocols like AMQP, HTTP, and CoAP will be added over time. The connectivity layer is also responsible for managing device authentication and authorization.
- The platform manages the devices on the edge. Device management offers the ability to introspect device configuration, update device applications and firmware, and control the device remotely. The IoT platform exposes an open contract towards the target device being managed with no assumption on the device software stack. The device management should evolve to adopt emerging standard device management protocols like LWM2M.
- IoT devices can collect large amounts of telemetry data. The IoT platform enables data pipelines on such data. The data pipelines can offer: data archival for dashboards or business intelligence applications, enable real-time analytics and business rules. A valuable requirement is flexible and configurable data integration routes, offering data storage options to collect the incoming data and make it available to upstream enterprise applications.
- The IoT platform relies on solid foundations. In particular, it provides multi-tenant account management, user management, permissions and roles.
- The IoT platform is fully programmable via RESTful web services API. A web-based administration console for a device operator is desirable.
- The IoT platform can be deployed either in the Cloud or ‘on premise’. Its packaging should allow for flexible deployment options.
