[iot-wg] OSGi Remote Management

[slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

ECF has just had a 3.12.1 maintenance release [1].

In addition, on ECF's github site [2] there have recently been
contributions for remote management of OSGi containers [3].  Now
implemented are a number of extensible OSGi remote micro services to
monitor and manage an OSGi runtime.  For example:  ServiceManager,
FrameworkManager, SCRManager, BundleManager, RemoteServiceAdminManager,
etc.  These managers can be used with any OSGi-R5+ container.   See the
3.12.1 New and Noteworthy [4] for further details, new Eclipse tooling
screenshots, and links.

Also present are managers specific to remote provisioning notably several
P2 managers for remotely monitoring and controlling a P2 agent.

All of these managers are implemented as standard OSGi remote services,
and so via ECF's RS implementation may be exposed and used with any
desired distribution transport (e.g. REST, mqtt, amqp, websockets, custom,
hazelcast, etc).

Thanks,

Scott
