Microsoft makes Azure IoT Edge available on GitHub with new updates – ARN
Microsoft has announced a string of updates to Azure IoT Edge, as the tech giant opens up global availability for enterprise deployments on its recently acquired software development platform, GitHub.
Azure IoT Edge was revealed about a year ago and has been updated to feature open source capabilities and availability on GitHub.
The offering has also opened up support for the Moby container management system, which is the open source platform that Docker is built on – allowing the extension of concepts of containerisation; isolation and management from the cloud to devices at the edge.
“As we evolve toward a world of ubiquitous computing, the design of the IoT solution spanning hardware, edge and cloud must be consistent and secure to drive real impact,” Microsoft director of Azure IoT, Sam George, said.
