## Device and Software Repository
|
|
|
|
- Repository that holds the provisioning targets and assignable software distributions.
|
|
- Targets to be logically grouped by Target Types.
|
|
- That includes a full software update history for every device.
|
|
- Support for pre-commission devices in the repository and plug and play, i.e. device is created if it is authenticated
|
|
for the first time.
|
|
|
|
## Update Management
|
|
|
|
- Directly deploy a defined software distribution to a device (by Management API).
|
|
- Update handling is independent of the device type, integration approach or connectivity.
|
|
- Optional user consent flow, download and install updates only after respective end user has confirmed it.
|
|
- Mass cancel the distribution of an update by invalidating the distribution set.
|
|
- Use action status codes for easier analysis.
|
|
|
|
## Artifact Content Delivery
|
|
|
|
- Partial downloads supported.
|
|
- Download resume supported (RFC7233).
|
|
- Content management by RESTful API and UI (see above).
|
|
- Authorization based on software assignment, i.e. a device can only download what has been assigned to it in the first
|
|
place.
|
|
- Delta artifact hosting supported.
|
|
- Artifact signature hosting supported.
|
|
- Plug-point for artifact encryption allowing to encrypt artifacts on upload.
|
|
|
|
## Rollout/Campaign Management
|
|
|
|
- Secure handling of large volumes of devices at rollout creation time.
|
|
- Flexible deployment group definition as part of a rollout.
|
|
- Monitoring of the rollout progress.
|
|
- Emergency rollout shutdown in case of update failures.
|
|
- Manually trigger next rollout group.
|
|
|
|
## Interfaces
|
|
|
|
### Management API
|
|
|
|
- RESTful API
|
|
- Create/Read/Update/Delete operations for provisioning targets (i.e. devices) and repository content (i.e. software).
|
|
- Manage and monitor software update operations.
|
|
- Online API documentation.
|
|
- JSON payload with Hypermedia support.
|
|
- Supports filtering, sorting and paging.
|
|
|
|
### Direct Device Integration API
|
|
|
|
- RESTful HTTP based API for direct device integration
|
|
- JSON payload.
|
|
- Traffic optimized (content based Etag generation, not modified).
|
|
- Feedback channel from device.
|
|
- TLS encryption.
|
|
|
|
### Device Management Federation API
|
|
|
|
- Indirect device integration through a device management service or application into hawkBit.
|
|
- Optimized for high service to service throughput with [AMQP](https://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-reference.html)
|
|
messaging interface.
|
|
- Separate AMQP vHost per tenant for maximum security.
