Description

Utilize our foundational tools to create your own device deployment and management server, whether you're handling a single device or scaling up to a million. Customize openBalena to meet your specific requirements and seamlessly execute software updates on your devices with just one command. Leverage the advantages of virtualization, specifically tailored for edge computing, and maintain access to your devices no matter their network conditions. Onboarding new devices into your fleet is straightforward and efficient. OpenBalena serves as a comprehensive platform for the deployment and oversight of connected devices. Each device operates on balenaOS, an operating system crafted for container execution on IoT hardware, and is overseen using the balena CLI, which facilitates the configuration of application containers, implementation of updates, monitoring of status, and examination of logs. The backend services of OpenBalena, built from proven components that have been utilized in balenaCloud for years, not only store device data securely but also enable remote management through an integrated VPN service and optimize the distribution of container images across your devices. This robust infrastructure ensures that you can efficiently manage your entire fleet with ease and confidence.

Description

balenaEngine is a specialized container engine designed specifically for embedded systems and IoT applications, utilizing technology from the Moby Project by Docker. It is significantly smaller than Docker CE, boasting a size reduction of 3.5 times and is distributed as a single binary. This engine is compatible with a diverse range of chipset architectures, catering to everything from small IoT devices to larger industrial gateways. It offers bandwidth-efficient updates using binary diffs that can be 10 to 70 times smaller compared to the traditional method of pulling layers in various scenarios. To mitigate excessive disk writing and safeguard against potential storage corruption, it extracts layers as they are received. Additionally, its atomic and durable image pulls ensure protection against incomplete container downloads in case of power interruptions. The design also minimizes page cache thrashing during image pulls, allowing applications to run smoothly even in low-memory environments. In summary, balenaEngine is an innovative solution that not only supports Docker containers but also enhances bandwidth efficiency for container updates. This makes it an ideal choice for developers seeking reliability and efficiency in IoT and embedded systems.
