Learn how Eclipse ioFog open-source Fog Computing lets you create microservices for the Internet of Things and run them in any physical location you desire.

1. IoT Microservices at the
Edge with Eclipse ioFog

2. Fog Computing

3. Fog Computing
Run code in a physical space, but
still control it like it’s the cloud

4. Why Fog Computing?
• No other way to connect devices
• Low latency
• No fees on the edge
• Fully owned deployments
• Hardware appropriate for use case
• Prevent the tidal wave of traffic
• Data normalization
• Real-time analytics
• Privacy and security

5. Fog Computing Use Cases
• Connect legacy devices and systems
• Add Bluetooth devices
• Keep data on premise
• Real-time analytics

6. ioFog – Overview
• Installs on Linux today, more tomorrow
• Fully distributed
• Runs on commodity hardware
– 1GB of RAM
– 5GB of free disk space for containers
– 64-bit processor

7. ioFog – Developer Services
• High performance message bus
– REST version
– Websocket version
• Config delivered at runtime
• Remote debugging
• Common logging
