Bringing Docker containers to IoT & Edge devices: Part 1, Restorable Compose Apps

Container technologies have been playing a significant role in the software development world since their inception with chroot. Thanks to Docker, containers have become the de facto standard for packaging, distribution, deployment, and running of cloud applications. You know they say "Build, Ship, and Run Any App, Anywhere". The question is, though, is this Anywhere really anywhere? In particular, can we "Build, Ship and Run Any App, on Any IoT & Edge Devices" or at least Some Apps on Some IoT & Edge Devices? Let's think about whether Containers can be applied to IoT & Edge software development too, whether it's feasible at all, and if yes, what benefits it brings. And last but not least, what challenges in adaptation of Containers to the Edge use-case there are.

How to read the boot logs to check the used keys

Posted on Feb 2, 2022 by Daiane Angolini

Introduction The secure platform, provided by Foundries.io is leveraged by several layers of signed binaries which are verified during boot time. Some layers use proprietary source code (such as the secure boot on some architectures) and other layers are part of well known open source projects (such as U-Boot and Linux Kernel). This article details how to read the available log and artifacts from a booting machine, in order to detect the verification mechanism executed during a normal boot.
