DockerIOT(I)

Advancing with all of my IOT research and implementation, and also taking  the opportunity to apply some of my knowledge of container platforms, i decided to go and develop Dockeriot: https://github.com/dirakx1/dockeriot, simple put its a
platform to develop iot platform using containers.
But why is this needed ? . and also taking into account that embedded devices often lack of ram, cpu.. and other capabilities.  Probably because that every day IOT applications are more and more complex, and if all the goodness that containerized images can be translated to the embedded world, this would imply
for example:

* rapid development of applications.
* rapid deployment-redeployment of applications.
* standardization of  installation/configuration of software on multiple (hundreds..thousands of devices).

It seems a natural advance to integrate all the goodness of cloud - clustered world to the embedded world.

So all my design is a POC, that still need to have some work to have a usable example application but all the foundations are developed now, and its interesting to see that the concept can be applied to all the IOT layers (http://www.iotsense.io/blog/the-layers-of-iot/)  and that can be extended into high level container orchestration tools like docker swarm and Kubernetes.

Ok for this post now i hope i can come back later...and anyway if someone can help on developing this "tech" also I'm making an startup..as always founding is needed!.
