Industrial Internet Application Development

Deployment, Scale, and Security

In the previous chapter, we looked at how to develop an end-to-end Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) application. In this chapter, we will go over securing, deploying, and finally scaling various components of an IIoT application.

The following topics will be covered in depth:

• Securing cloud-based microservices
• Securing edge-to-cloud connectivity
• Continuous deployment of microservice options, such as Docker and Cloud Foundry
• Scaling your microservices, databases, and so on

This chapter provides a framework for developing secure IIoT software, makes a case for adopting continuous deployment, and finally closes with guidelines on how to scale different components.
