Problem

Customer needs, requests and opportunities from the market

Needs deployment and maintenance of software applications on a large fleet of IoT device sets. Needs to diversify the software application among the fleet.

Existing Alternatives

Current solutions: Current solutions: (i) Existing deployment tools such as Ansible and GeneSIS on targeting at single IoT device sets, but not a large number of similar device sets (IoT fleet). (ii) fleet management tools or platforms, such as Azure IoT Hub, Balena, etc., do not support diversity managemnet among the fleet.
