| The Eclipse IoT Packages project provides a home for use case focused IoT deployments, |
| based on Eclipse IoT technology. It takes the building blocks that the different projects provide, |
| and adds the necessary glue code, needed to create more complete setups. It acts as a showcase of what |
| is possible with Eclipse IoT, and enables you to try it out first hand. |

| <h2>Concept of a package</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| IoT Packages are a combination of two or more Eclipse IoT projects, combined in an integrated way, |
| leveraging the benefits of each project, to showcase the benefits of their integration. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The goal is to help people understand, what problems the combination of Eclipse IoT projects can solve. |
| And also enable them to try it out themselves, within minutes and on their own infrastructure. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Packages not only provide deployment scripts, but also some description what the benefit of the |
| integrated package is, and some initial, tutorial like steps, to play with the setup, once it is deployed. |
| </p> |

| <h2>Common cloud foundation</h2> |
| |
| <div class="row"> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-8"> |
| |
| <p> |
| Because integrating different software components is already hard enough, the IoT packages project |
| chose Kubernetes as its cloud side deployment platform. Kubernetes is the de-facto standard for |
| containerized deployments in the cloud. And so it makes sense to focus on this platform, and have a common |
| base for all IoT packages. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Helm is a command line tool for managing Kubernetes applications. Helm Charts help define, install |
| and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application. |
| Packages consist of one or more Helm Charts which can be used to install the package to a Kubernetes cluster. |

| <h2>A home for glue code</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Bringing together different building blocks will leave a few gaps here and there. Some things make only |
| sense in a bigger context. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Hosting glue code, or glue functionality that is required to bring projects together, is also one aspect |
| of the IoT packages projects. Projects are encouraged to integrate as much functionality as possible into |
| their own code base. But whenever there is something which doesn't properly fit into either of the projects, |
| the IoT Packages project can be home to this glue code. |
| </p> |

| <h2>Contributions welcome</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Contributions of all kinds are welcome. Adding new packages, enhancing or refining existing ones. Content will |
| be licensed under the EPL. And while we think that open source is the right model, you are more than |
| welcome to fork a package, and add your custom, closed source code functionality, in order to showcase how |
| awesome Eclipse IoT is. |
| </p> |
