There are more than 12 billion IoT devices globally, and IDC estimates 41 billion by 2025. IoT includes connected smart devices like industrial robots, retail kiosks, security cameras, and maker devices using Raspberry Pi (RPi). Managing IoT into real-world production can be challenging to scale and manage. JFrog Connect is a complete solution for updating, monitoring, managing and troubleshooting Linux-based devices globally.

This workshop offers several labs with step-by-step instructions. Bring an RPi or create a virtual demo device within the JFrog Connect platform. You can get a free-tier instance of JFrog Connect. Lab files will be available through GitHub. We will cover these topics:
