How To Deploy OTA Updates for IoT Devices
With a multitude of Internet of Things (IoT) devices scattered globally, managing software remotely becomes critical to the success of enterprises who want to transform in the digital economy. IoT devices can extend into the physical world and most often at large scale without being in close proximity and only reachable at relatively high cost. Therefore, it is not practical to replace an existi...
Read the articleHow to enable remote software updates in segregated networks with bandwidth efficiency and centralized control
Many manufacturing and industrial environments have segregated network setups where assets (IoT/embedded devices) are co-located within a local area network and separated from the public internet by an internet gateway device. Segregation increases security, but limits access and control to do software updates to the co-located devices more efficiently.
Centralized remote software update capabil... Read the articleMender 3.3 release: Bringing full visibility and efficiency in segregated networks

Read the articleKubernetes vs Docker with Mender on-premise
IntroductionHow does Kubernetes and Docker compare when using either with the on-premise Mender management server for packaging and deploying software updates over-the-air (OTA) to target embedded Linux devices (Yocto, Debian, Ubuntu)? In this article, we’ll try to answer these questions.
However, before diving into the Mender-specific use case, let’s shed some light on the differences bet...
