Open Source Fleet and Device Management

Explore open-source solutions for fleet and device management in this 40-minute Birds of a Feather (BoF) session led by Jan Lübbe from Pengutronix. Discuss critical aspects of managing large-scale Linux-based device deployments, including device onboarding, secure backend communication, proactive issue detection, software update scheduling, device configuration, and interactive login capabilities. Engage in collaborative discussions about alternatives to closed-source cloud provider offerings, focusing on fully open-source fleet management stacks. Connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences with existing solutions, identify functionality gaps, and establish common requirements. Participate in ongoing collaboration efforts through a shared document, and potentially join a mailing list or IRC channel for future discussions on open-source fleet and device management strategies.
