Hi All,
I have a group of linux developers who are really kind of set on "docker" this and "docker" that.. and who’s afraid of a git repository big black bat .. They manage a small (5000) fleet of iot devices and their current work flow is basically git > repos > hosted on docker images that are hosted on Balena.
the problem is .. the scale..
What tools, or methods would you use to accomplish the same thing using FreeBSD/Jails/ZFS and such ..
some questions ...
* best way to update 5k devices, I really wouldn’t want to hit a public repo with all that traffic..
* how do you push out non "packaged/compiled" code like python scripts and configuration?
* how do you manage version control, updates and roll backs?
* how do you repair, maintain and monitor the fleet?
are there any good corporate examples of people using freebsd in the wild already? I’m sure there has to be..?
My simple brain want to think saltstack with (padre / git), iocage and zfs replication? with a graphana / Prometheus and your 90% there .. right?
It has to be harder than that ... doesn’t it? ... does that scale to the 50/100k/500k devices?
thanks..
