Open Source platform for managing and deploying IOT Devices

In my line of work as a IT Solutions Consultant, i have worked with my clients in development and hosting of Several IOT services on the OPenBalena Platform and Balena Cloud. OpenBalena Is basically a host based software operating that enables Management and deployment of IOT devices using Containers. What I love about this platform is that its totally free and opensource. Another cool aspect is that its scalable, a developer an manage one IOT device and grow to several thousand IOT devices on a single platform. Doing software updates remotely on this platform is super easy and secure. Not forgetting that the platform is secure wit an inbuilt VPN to enable remote access and secure communication between devices and the platform.
