  • Method and system for containerized internet of things (IoT) devices
    Patent number: 10348831
    Abstract: A method and system for containerized Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The method includes receiving by a computing platform IoT device sensor data. The method also includes receiving by the computing platform at least one container image script. The method also includes loading into the computing platform at least one container, which is based on the at least one container image script received by the computing platform. The method also includes processing at least a portion of the IoT device sensor data within the at least one container to generate processed IoT device data. The method also includes transmitting from the computing platform at least a portion of the processed IoT device data. The method also includes removing the at least one container from the computing platform in response to at least a portion of the processed IoT device data being transmitted from the computing platform.
