* What's Next?Fedora IoT (Internet of Things) is a Fedora Linux edition dedicated to address edge computing challenges. Although this is a big topic, in this example I’m considering an edge device to be a relatively small computing device that processes data near where the data is produced and runs mostly unattended.
For my edge case, I use a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM to power a small home application that runs in a container. This device runs in a hard-to-access corner, has no monitor or keyboard attached, and connects to the network using Wi-Fi. Fedora IoT fits nicely as an operating system for these requirements. In this article, I explain why and how to get started with it.
Why Fedora IoT
Fedora IoT is an immutable, minimal operating system that’s well suited for small edge devices. Because edge devices…
