You will need something like https://mender.io https://www.balena.io an over the air update system, you are building and iot system so look into https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-air_update. Source: 4 months ago
Oh, what you are looking for is probably something like Mender. If you use Yocto + Mender you can track what version of the system image all your devices are using + tiered rollouts + other stuff. https://mender.io/. Source: 12 months ago
We were running balenaOS on several thousand customer devices in field, all managed through balenaCloud. It worked fine and the remote capabilities are extremely useful, but we eventually transitioned the entire fleet to Mender instead. There were several reasons for the transition:.

I've never used anything in the product space, but I've read through some of the docs because IoT deployment interests me in the context of most network devices having terrible deployment and update strategies. My favorite sales pitch was always Mender (https://mender.io) because it can be as simple as .img files and slice based booting. Unfortunately they changed their pricing a couple years ago and went from a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Currently companies like pantacor, BalenaOS, Toradex, Mender, and Foundries all offer solutions for containers for Linux-based embedded targets.

Libraries like swupdate or mender.io exist to take care of most of the hard work in implementing these systems. Source: about 3 years ago
So far I've come across checkmk, which seems like an amazing tool for monitoring, but as far as I'm aware, it's only for that. You can't actually affect your systems with it. Then I tried openBalena, which seems really interesting, as it allows for pre-baking images, and deploying your apps inside of containers, but for monitoring it needs another solution to complement it, and I don't see how you can actually...

I was wondering if there are alternatives out there which are less expensive (I think mender might be one), or even open-source variants with a nice UI. Also, I was wondering if Google Cloud offers a similar service? I know IoT Core which, as it seems, is just an MQTT communication library and not capable of deploying containers.
