Seamless Integration of DevOps Tools for Provisioning Automation of the IoT Application on Multi-Infrastructures

The Internet of Things contains smart devices and tools that collect and communicate sensing data, with different processing capabilities. Due to the heterogeneous nature of IoT ecosystems, an IoT application should be distributed, portable, reusable, and managed automatically in heterogeneous environments. The integration of automated provisioning and orchestration is needed to achieve these features effectively, in order to reduce the response time and enhance the system performance. In this research, we propose and develop a new system to automate the provisioning and orchestration of IoT system components at various infrastructures such as Edge and Cloud. To achieve our goals, we present a seamless integration of DevOps orchestration tools for provisioning and orchestrating a container-based IoT application, which requires achieving two key milestones. The first step is to build CI, or quick, dependable, and systematic integrations. The second is to enable CD, automate deployment, and make it simple to test new code in environments similar to production.
