Now you got your pretty new OpenShift setup of Eclipse Kapua and want to give your IoT cloud a test run?! Testing it out with 100 devices, just for fun? Or even more? But you are too lazy to flash 1000 SD cards for your Raspberry Pi cluster? Here comes the Kura simulator framework. ;-)

With the upcoming release 0.4.0 of Eclipse NeoSCADA™, the IEC 60870-5-105 implementation will finally make its way back into NeoSCADA. This will allow me to finally release the IEC 60870 component Apache Camel to Maven Central.

After Eclipse Milo™ 0.1.0 was released a few days back and is available on Maven Central since this week it was time to update my OPC UA component for Apache Camel to use the release version of Milo:

To be honest, I had my troubles in the past with the Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF), not that it is a bad framework, but whatever I started it was complicated and never really worked for me. This story is different!

The upcoming version 2.1.0 of Eclipse Kura™ will feature an enhanced version of the Apache Camel™ integration which was introduced in Kura 2.0.0. There are various new ways on how to run Camel routes, configured either by XML routes or using the Java DSL. Apache Camel can act as a Kura application but, new in this release, there is also a way to simply configure Camel as a “cloud service”. In past releases of Kura, applications could only push data to one cloud target. The new 2.1.0 release will add the functionality of adding multiple cloud targets and one of those targets can be Apache Camel router instances.
