Current Situation

The IoT platform landscape faces three primary operational bottlenecks for which we currently lack capacity in the internal team: Azure IoT Hub requires automated device registry backups and a validated recovery procedure; frontend development capacity cannot ingest UI designs fast enough to meet demand; and remote edge devices lack a proper managed central enterprise-grade Over-The-Air (OTA) deployment mechanism.

Project Objective Deliver a unified engineering initiative to establish automated IoT Hub disaster recovery, expand frontend capacity to rapidly implement dlab UI assets, and integrate Mender Enterprise for secure fleet-wide software updates.
