Template-based automation with distributed secure provisioning installer for remote cloud boxes

The emerging edge computing concept with μClοud boxes, in charge of front-end data processing for remote large-scale cloud data centers, is addressing the delay and efficiency concerns for IoT-Cloud services. The infrastructure operators of IoT-Cloud services require several provisioning tools to handle a number of cloud boxes across multiple remote sites. The resulting open-source software provisioning tools should support automated installation and configuration for remote cloud boxes, albeit with flexibility and scalability. Thus, in this paper, we discuss our ongoing DevOps-based realization for DsP-Installer (Distributed Secure Provisioning Installer), which automates the template-based installation and configuration for remote cloud boxes.
