Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to install the MicroK8s snap with the strict confinement option, monitored the installation’s progress, and managed the Kubernetes cluster running on Ubuntu Core.

We also introduced a new embedded OS, Ubuntu Core, which complies with enterprise standards by enabling automated updates, app stores, and software management. We also learned that it is built from the ground up to be the most secure platform for connected devices. Furthermore, Ubuntu Core provides a modular design based on snaps, bullet-proof application updates, a seamless developer experience via Snapcraft, and built-in security to handle the challenges of embedded Linux development.

In this and earlier chapters, we have covered most of the implementation aspects that are required for your IoT/Edge computing applications using...
