Rollout Management Concepts 54

Software update operations in large scale IoT scenarios with hundreds of thousands of devices require special handling.

That includes:

  • Technical Scalability by means of horizontal scale of the hawkBit server cluster in the cloud.

  • Global artifact content delivery capacities.

  • Functional Scalability by means of:

    • Secure handling of large volumes of devices at rollout creation time.
    • Monitoring of the rollout progress.
    • Emergency rollout shutdown in case of problems on to many devices.
  • Reporting capabilities for a complete understanding of the rollout progress at each point in time.

Eclipse hawkBit sees these capabilities under the term Rollout Management.

The following capabilities are currently supported by the Rollout Management:

  • Create, update and start of rollouts.

    • Selection of targets as input for the rollout based on target filter functionality.
    • Selection of a DistributionSet.
    • Auto-splitting of the input target list into a defined number deployment groups.
  • Approval workflow

    • Has to be enabled explicitly in configuration.
    • Enables a workflow that requires a user with adequate permissions to review any new or updated rollout before it can be started.
    • Allows integration with 3rd party workflow engines.
  • Cascading start of the deployment groups based on installation status of the previous group.

  • Emergency shutdown of the rollout in case a group exceeds the defined error threshold.

  • Rollout progress monitoring for the entire rollout and the individual groups.

Cascading Deployment Group Execution

The cascading execution of the deployment groups is based on two thresholds that can be defined by the rollout creator.

  • success condition by means of percentage of successfully installed targets in the current groups triggers.
  • error condition by means of absolute or percentage of failed installations which triggers an emergency shutdown of the entire rollout.
