Great discussion with Eystein on updating systems, how Mender has evolved over

the last ~10 years, and more:

  • Eystein has a background in Math and cryptography
  • Company started as CFEngine
  • Things people tend to not think about with system update:
    • security
    • reliability (power loss, does it resume downloads when there are network
      • issues, etc.)
    • future products – is the solution general
    • scheduling
    • updating multiple devices in the system
    • Mendor milestones
      1. OSS release
      2. SaS service
      3. advanced environments, complex deployments, orchestration, etc
      4. OSS foundation
        • open-core model
        • product led growth
        • is working well
        • Programming languages
          • Switching the Mender client from
            • Go to C++
            so the client is more portable.
          • Platform vs Product
            • Product – narrow set of problems, pick what you need, less vendor lock-in
            • Platform – wide focus and tends toward locked in
            • Interesting in the technology space
              • Bootloader standardization would help a lot
              • ARM System Ready
                • looks interesting.
              • Advice for young engineers
