Hi ,
This question may sound to some of you stupid , But i want to know if i
m developing a plugin on formean to manage all the embedded devices that
are connected to my Iot platform (LIVE Objects ) do i need a smart proxy if
yes why and whats is the main role of smart proxy ??
Thanks
Hello, smart-proxy is usually deployed on remote sites, datacenters or
subnets to do all "dirty work" of managing local DHCP servers, turning
servers on/off via BMC and stuff like that. Also clients connects to
smart-proxies to do their rhsm registration, yum updates or uploading
openscap reports. Actions which are usually local only, smart-proxy
uses HTTPS connection to Foreman and vice versa to communicate (proxy)
data.
It is perfect fit for your case, you want to write smart-proxy plugin
that will do the IoT work and then some plugin for code to communicate
with your smart-proxy plugin with UI if needed.
