The internet of things. Everyone is talking about the IoT - and in just a few years it will surely be found in almost every private household. The Internet of Things relates to the change in technology and its “behavior”. Especially related to the communication or interaction of everyday objects such as a refrigerator, a heater, a light bulb, a scale or cameras with, or better via, the Internet.

Many companies invest millions of dollars in the research and dissemination of IoT devices. Household appliances will become more and more “smart” in the future. In general, it is about the simplification of the usability of everyday objects through the permanent connection among themselves. This is made possible by mapping communication in the so-called cloud environment - a virtual environment housed on server farms, in which the huge amounts of data can be processed and controlled. In order to be able to produce and offer simple, functioning and, above all, secure IoT solutions, you need experienced employees who are passionate about this technology and make your company ready for the technological future.

Cloud architects, cloud software and network engineers, Cloud services developers, cloud system administrators and engineers, cloud consultants and more are currently in great demand.

Computer engineers define, design, build and maintain Systems and solutions that use systems and infrastructure that are managed by cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure etc.

The IoT in industry (I4.0) platforms

The Internet of Things has changed a lot in the past twelve months: from a pure vision and first attempts to implement very concrete scenarios through increasing networking, analysis and automation. In the manufacturing industry, the increasing automation of surveillance systems is now used in a very wide range, from aircraft construction to sporting goods manufacturers. But there are also interesting lighthouse projects in other industries such as logistics, building automation and retail.

An increasing number of providers act as brokers for IoT-generated data. Here companies can evaluate their data, combine them with other data traded on the platform and share them with other companies. You can also define exactly who you do not want to, or no longer want to share your data with. Municipalities can, for example, monetize the data on the state of air purity or traffic flows in their city via the platform. Linking external data is required in other sectors. An example of this are manufacturers of commercial vehicles who are very interested in the processing of weather data.

CLOUD SERVICES

The range of cloud computing services offered is huge, with most of them falling into one of the following categories.

SaaS (Software as a Service)
This type of public cloud computing provides applications via a browser. The most popular SaaS applications in the business sector are, for example, Google's G Suite and Microsoft Office 365. Salesforce is the market leader among enterprise applications. Practically all corporate applications, including ERP suites from Oracle and SAP, are now also available in the SaaS model. Typically, SaaS applications offer extensive configuration and development options so that customers can code their own modifications and additions.

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
IaaS providers offer storage and computing services on a pay-per-use basis. However, the entire range of public cloud providers is incredibly extensive, including, for example
  • highly scalable databases
  • virtual private networks
  • Big data analytics
  • Machine learning
  • Application Monitoring.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) was the first IaaS provider and is also currently the market leader, followed by Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud.

PaaS (Platform as a Service)
PaaS offers certain combinations of services and workflows. These offerings are aimed in particular at developers who can use tools, processes and APIs together to accelerate the development, testing and implementation of applications. Heroku from Salesforce and Force.com are popular public cloud PaaS offerings in this area. With the help of PaaS, companies can ensure that developers have access to resources, follow certain processes and only use a certain range of services. The cloud providers provide the underlying infrastructure.

Many PaaS offerings are also known as MBaaS (Mobile Back-end as a Service) or sometimes just BaaS (Back-end as a Service). These are tailored to developers of mobile applications.

FaaS (Function as a Service)
FaaS is a cloud version of "Serverless Computing" and adds another level to PaaS. Software developers in particular can benefit from this. Instead of having to deal with virtual servers, containers and runtime environments, they just upload blocks of code, such as a form submission or files. The cloud platform automatically provides the infrastructure required for execution. In addition to IaaS, all major cloud providers also offer FaaS: These include AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions and IBM OpenWhisk. A particular advantage of FaaS applications is that they only consume IaaS resources when a defined event occurs. This tends to reduce IaaS service fees.
