Résumé : |
In today's data-driven world, the importance of keeping edge controllers up to date cannot be overstated. Imagine a system where firmware and application updates seamlessly reach edge controllers through a user-friendly internal app, powered by APIs and microservices. No more manual work or downtime. Just smooth, secure updates, ensuring controllers stay agile and responsive. However, challenges abound, especially in cybersecurity. With the increasing complexity of edge systems and the ever-looming threat of cyberattacks, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of updates is paramount. Robust encryption and authentication are crucial, ensuring updates remain safe from unauthorized access. Furthermore, the growing awareness of cybersecurity threats in our society makes this topic even more relevant. As individuals and organizations become more conscious of the risks, the need for secure and reliable update systems becomes increasingly pressing. Another hurdle is managing the multitude of applications and controllers across distributed edge environments. Without a centralized update system, maintaining consistency and reliability is tough. That's where OTA updates shine, simplifying the process and allowing administrators to manage updates effortlessly. Our exploration into OTA update systems delves into the technical details of API integration and microservices. Through real-world examples, we show how these technologies help edge controllers stay ahead of the curve, adapting to new challenges seamlessly. These systems unlock the full potential of edge controllers in our connected world. This thesis is for finding a suitable solution to keep the edge controllers up to date. The solution needs to fit the needs and environment of the company. Through market research, we aim to implement a Proof of Concept (POC) and provide an opinion on whether it has a place in production. |
