Kura™4.1.0

Connect devices, software, and network services within a machine-to-machine gateway project using Kura™, an OSGi-based framework for bringing those parts into one system. It gives developers a foundation for building service gateways instead of treating every connected-device project as an isolated collection of custom components. As an open-source Linux system tool, Kura is aimed at projects that must account for hardware, software, and connectivity together.

Kura addresses the high customization and integration costs traditionally associated with these systems, while encouraging reuse across similar engagements. It also supports development approaches that avoid dependence on proprietary communication methods and protocols. The software suits teams creating machine-to-machine systems in which connected equipment and application software must operate as parts of the same solution.

Its OSGi architecture distinguishes Kura from a single-purpose gateway utility by providing an application framework around the gateway itself. Ondrej Kubik publishes the software for developers and engineering teams working on connected-device infrastructure. The current version is 4.1.0, and the software is released under an open-source license.

Kura requires Linux and snapd, runs on x86_64 (amd64) architecture, and has a Linux deployment target that includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
