Description

The robust ecosystem of open-source tools available for Internet of Things (IoT) deployments on Ubuntu Linux, highlights how these tools collectively address the key challenges of modern IoT implementations. In Modern days, Ubuntu's package management system and long-term support model provide an ideal foundation for IoT solutions across industrial, commercial, and residential applications and more.

The research categorizes and evaluates prominent open source tools including Node-RED for visual programming, Eclipse Mosquitto for MQTT messaging, ThingsBoard for device management and visualization, InfluxDB for time-series data storage, and HomeAssistant for home automation.

The findings suggest that Ubuntu's open source IoT ecosystem offers compelling advantages over proprietary alternatives, particularly for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions with flexibility for customization and long-term sustainability. This research contributes to the understanding of how open source technologies can accelerate IoT innovation while addressing critical implementation challenges in resource-constrained and security-sensitive environments.
