DevOps best practices are essential for optimizing software development, deployment, and operation in data centers, but their application in edge and IoT projects often faces challenges due to siloed processes. Companies frequently rely on manual methods, leading to inefficiencies and security issues, particularly with vulnerabilities like Log4J/Log4Shell. To integrate DevOps into IoT, strategies such as automation from code to device, shifting left for early security implementation, and maintaining comprehensive device fleet visibility are crucial. JFrog’s platform, including JFrog Connect, Artifactory, and Xray, supports these practices by offering automation, security scanning, and device management capabilities, thus facilitating streamlined operations and enhancing security in IoT environments. Additionally, grouping devices for targeted updates, real-time monitoring, and remote troubleshooting are emphasized to manage IoT landscapes effectively, reflecting a shift similar to the evolution of mobile app development within DevOps frameworks.
