Editor's Notes
- #2 Intro Slide
- #4 Internet of things, proliferation of intelligent devices. creates a need for businesses to process big data and provide real-time analytics and response.
- #5 The value of IoT is in the analytics of the data captured.
- #6 Sensors and other monitoring devices are embedded into many objects, systems and processes In the globalized world, people, systems, objects and processes are connected and communicating with one another in entirely new ways. Leveraging the data generated provides intelligence to help do things better, improving responsiveness and the ability to predict and optimize for future events
- #7 Benefits of real-time data from IoT
- #8 Benefit of cloud – elasticity.
- #9 Albert Barron is the IBM Bluemix team member who came up with this idea to help people grasp the difference types of services.
- #10 Bluemix allows developers to expedite their release times by eliminating the need to manage and maintain infrastructure. Bluemix allows developers to focus on the code without the worry for getting hardware provisioned and software installed. IBM is handling those tasks.
- #11 By obtaining cloud services, you can increase standardization, lower costs and observe a faster time to value. With Bluemix handling the servers, storage, software the time to develop and deploy is quicker. Software upgrades and fixpack installations are handled by IBM, this helps customer stay up-to-date on supported current versions that offer latest features.
- #12 Bluemix is now evolving to be more than just a public PaaS. Softlayer provided dedicates servers, managed hosting and cloud computing services.
- #13 For customers who have confidential and sensitive data and may be reluctant to use the cloud, IBM has dedicated Bluemix instances available. Customers are provided with a private, single tenant instance of Bluemix running in a Softlayer environment that is completely managed by IBM.
- #14 With Bluemix public, dedicated and the addition of local customers can have Bluemix running where the business needs. We envision our customers will actually uses a combination of Bluemix dedicated and local as well as public. For example, an app could be developed and deployed in dedicated or local but then want to consume a service provided by that app in another app running in Bluemix public. With these three options available, a true hybrid cloud solution is possible using Bluemix.
- #15 Visibility, control and security everywhere data and services exist Transparency to see all data and apps across infrastructures Control and governance to manage and orchestrate workloads and access A multi-layered approach to ensure security across every interaction point Developer productivity to easily integrate, compose and deliver modern apps connect and compose data and services for enterprise, web and mobile apps bring apps closer to data or data closer to apps quickly develop, refine and deploy apps with hybrid cloud DevOps Data and analytics to provide the best insight from all relevant data inside and outside the organization and optimize data sovereignty and locality Data services to replicate and synchronize data Analytics services to refine data and provide insight Cognitive computing services to interact with and change the world
- #16 Internet of Things Foundation provides capabilities including device registration, connectivity, control, rapid visualization and storage of data derived from the Internet of Things
- #17 The IoT Foundation lets your apps communicate with and consume data collected by your connected devices and sensors. Your apps can use real-time and REST APIs to communicate with your devices and consume the data you set them up to collect. First you get your devices connected, then you can build an app that talks to your devices. For example you might have a sensor that collects and sends humidity readings every minute. Our REST and real-time APIs allow you to quickly pull that device data into your apps for further analysis.
- #18 Free 30 day trial period https://ibm.biz/Meetup_Atlanta
- #19 A Bluemix boilerplate is a runtime and includes a sample application, the boilerplate makes it easy to get started.
- #20 The IoT boilerplate includes a Node-RED application and a Cloudant database. You can try the sample flow with a simulator and customize it for your own devices.
- #21 Many different languages and runtimes are available on Bluemix. Watson cognitive analytic services may also be incorporated into your application. IBM also provides various other services (open source and/or 3rd party services). Some services may be offered as experimental or “beta” services.
- #22 Bluemix also provides Watson services, an artificial intelligence-enhanced analytics system allowing you to build cognitive apps that help enhance, scale, and accelerate human expertise
- #23 Cloud Foundry is at the heart of Bluemix. The Open-source technology enables the deployment of applications (and scaling and monitoring). The Cloud Foundry Foundation brings open governance, ensuring consistent functionality and behavior of core components across vendors.
- #24 IBM Containers are powered by Docker, and allow developers to package their applications and runtimes then deploy as containers on Bluemix
- #25 IBM Container service now exists alongside Cloud foundry apps deployed in Bluemix, allowing users to deploy containers as they would any other app in Bluemix. So if you package up and app and runtime with docker, you can then deploy it into Bluemix using the container service. Interconnect conference last month announced that users can now create VMs in Bluemix (like you would get from an IaaS like Softlayer). The VMs will live right alongside your Cloud Foundry aopps and Docker containers in Bluemix.
- #26 IoT foundation is powered by MessageSight technology (can handle a million concurrent connections and 30 million messages per second). It can be purchased as a standalone service (through the IBM Cloud Marketplace) or as part of Bluemix
- #27 Bluemix allows you to integrate your IoT devices and applications with other Bluemix services to create a complete end-to-end IoT solution
- #28 When you create a IoT service in Bluemix, you can then bind it to your application
- #29 Free 30 day trial then pay as you go.
- #30 Different levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold) are available for the IoT Foundation service. Historian - paying customers get a longer retention period such as 6 or 12 months. Freemium customers have only a 1 month retention period. Customers may download their Historian data before it is purged at the end of their retention period
- #31 The Bluemix website has a wealth of documentation to help users get started with IoT ( and other services as well). A very easy way to try it out is to use the IoT device simulator QuickStart example (you don’t need a device to test out an IoT app).
- #32 A Device must be registered to authenticate if you are not using the “quickstart” feature.
- #33 Here I have a Raspberry Pi device on the right and an Arduino Uno on the left. The recipes can help you go from unpacking “out of the box” to testing a live application in the time it takes to drink 2 beers.
- #34 IoT recipes are available to help you configure, connect and visualize your devices and develop applications to gather insights from the data. New recipes are being added and we welcome partners to join the IBM ecosystem. Contributing a new recipes is a great way to demonstrate the technologies of IBM partners (both as advertising and technical how-to).
- #35 The “Use my own device” recipes provide all the information and background needed to create your own . Connectivity to the IoTFoundation service uses MQTT as the “event/message oriented” IoTprotocol An MQTT client library is used by the “quickstartdevice” application to handle the MQTT communication There are many MQTT client libraries available –A list can be found here: https://github.com/mqtt/mqtt.github.io/wiki/libraries –IBM contributes and maintains a set of libraries in the Eclipse.org Paho projects. This includes Java, JavaScript, C, embedded C libraries. https://eclipse.org/paho/ –The embedded C client is designed for use on constrained systems with ease of porting device recipe
- #36 When a device is connected to the IoT Foundation, the data from remote devices can be managed within the cloud, using predictive analytics and real-time processing. Eclipse Paho MQTT clients can be downloaded from: http://www.eclipse.org/paho/download.php IBM Mobile Messaging and M2M Client Pack MA9B provides two Java client libraries. For more details about MA9B, see website: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038199
- #37 Connecting remote apps directly to a business’ master data management backend system can create challenges. As the mobile apps scale, the load on the back end systems grow enormously. Additionally, if you have to make a change to your system of record, your mobile apps experience an outage. A “system of engagement” tier allows for cloud scaling and to mash up information from systems of record as well as other cloud sources and the Internet of things.
- #38 Connect, Collect, Assemble, Manage
- #39 TLS v1.2 is used for IoT Foundation security
- #40 Bluemix IoT Foundation utilizing API keys and tokens to authenticate ClientIDs. TLS v1.2 support is provided for connections utilizing MQTT protocol.
- #41 The IOT Foundation uses MQTT protocol. The MQTT protocol is based on the principle of publishing messages and subscribing to topics (a PUB/SUB model). MQTT has a simple API. Connect, publish, subscribe, disconnect. Devices located at the edge are able to participate as “systems of engagements” and communicate with enterprise systems on the backend (systems of record) this allows you to create a complete end-to-end solution including the internet of things.
- #42 MQTT’s origins go back nearly two decades. It’s co-inventor, Andy Standford-Clark is a distringuished engineer at IBM. His industry partner was Arlen Nipper, an American engineer and expert in embedded systems for oil field equipment. Together they wrote the initial version of MQTT in 1988. They have continued to improve their open-source messaging software over the years.
- #43 https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/mqtt-version-3-1-1-becomes-an-oasis-standard https://www.oasis-open.org/news/pr/foundational-iot-messaging-protocol-mqtt-becomes-international-oasis-standard MQTT v3.1.1 was ratified as OASIS standard end of 2014, many devices still have the older version but the new version Includes some enhancements such as the ability to use a longer string for your ClientID In version 3.1.1 the maximum length of the MQTT Client Identifier (ClientId) is increased
- #44 MQTT was chosen by IBM as the optimal protocol for its IoT foundation offering. MQTT is Open, lean, simple and reliable.
- #45 Node-RED is lightweight runtime built on Node.js The Node-RED drag and drop feature allows for easy implementation.
- #46 Here is a simple node-RED flow that I have tested. Whenever I make a change, I then simply click the red “Deploy” button again to update my application.
- #47 You can increase the number of instances and memory as needed. There is where the elasticity of the cloud comes in handy. Bluemix allows you to quickly develop and deploy your application, then you can scale it as needed at a later date when volumes increase.
- #48 While on the Bluemix dashboard, if you have an application open, you will see the “ADD GIT” feature in the upper right hand corner. By clicking on that a Git Repository will be created within DevOps and a Git URL will then be shown with a button to Edit Code. You will also get an email with Project and GIT URLs
- #49 Clicking that button will link you over to DevOps and you can then edit your code inside the Git Repository
- #50 IBM’s Bluemix DevOps Track and Plan services can be used to create stories, tasks and effects to describe and track project work and use agile planning tools for backlog, releases and sprints.
- #51 If you are using a node-RED flow (such as created by IoT starter boilerplate) the flow itself will be stored in a cloudant database which is provisioned when you create the boilerplate.
- #52 The “community” is great feature of Bluemix
- #53 When you enter the community/forum you are taken to the dwAnswers website within developerWorks. Here you will see questions tagged with Bluemix (and/or other tags such as IoT).
- #54 Paying customers can create Parature or RTC tickets, but may still choose to browse and search forums first for a quick answer. Doesn’t everyone google something these days when they don’t know how to do it? The forum experience is what customers are using these days (similar to stack overflow). It allows you to search and find answers to problems, or post a new question which may be answered by an IBM expert or another developer who has tried the same thing and figured out how to make it work!
- #55 Hackathon Example
- #56 “idiot driver” application. Uses the familiar in-vehicle Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) such as Voice Command, Steering wheel and radio buttons. Imagine you are driving down the road and some “idiot” cuts you off and swerves in front of you. Since you have the PureFocus application on your smartphone and it’s paired with the SYNC AppLink head unit, you hit the command button on the steering wheel and say “REPORT DRIVER.” The voice recognition system in the car passes the command to our app through SYNC AppLink and then asks the driver, “WHAT HAPPENED?” Using the Audio Pass Through feature of SYNC Applink, we capture audio from the driver who say something like: “Some jerk just cut me off.” The app sends audio clip back to Watson, which can interpret the language (even if it’s not as PG as “idiot”)
- #57 How do we know who they are? We determine the offending driver using their geo-location, steering maneuvers, speed, and braking pattern data that comes from the vehicle through SYNC AppLink. Assuming they have the application installed, their profile is tagged with an “IDIOT” event that decrements their safe driving score for the offending action. Additionally, the app allows you to gamify the whole thing and challenge your friends on Facebook or Twitter to be safer drivers.
- #58 The application was built in iOS using IBM Bluemix, Watson Speech to Text, Watson Concept Expansion, Cloudant, and IoT Foundation. A demo was also created using Byan’s Connected Vehicle Maps hackathon kit hosted on m2m Demos site to visualize how the solution works.
- #59 Real World Examples
- #60 Here are some existing real world examples for how the Internet of Things devices and data are being used today. Connected cars, wearables, health monitoring, and others. Internet of things is
- #61 Fans of boat racing are on the shore, when the boats are out on open water either in the ocean or large lakes, they spectators can’t truly always see what is happening. Bluemix IoT helped create a solution to allow fans to be more engaged and get real-time updates from the boats even when they were not close enough to visually see from shore.
- #62 Solution: SilverHook, Virtual Eye and IBM The SilverHook Telemetry application provides a foundation for Real time processing of telemetry data to monitor the boat for potential failure conditions Logging of all raw telemetry, scores, and generated alerts for post-race analysis Real-time 3D rendering to enhance the fan and team experience The application is built upon multiple Bluemix capabilities, including: Internet of Things Foundation dashDB Scoring service Java / Liberty app server runtime Python buildpack (third party)
