Shifu

Shifu is a Kubernetes native framework designed to abstract out the complexity of interacting with IoT devices. Shifu aims to achieve TRUE plug'n'play IoT device virtualization, management, control and automation.

Why use Shifu?

• Shifu let you manage and control your IoT device extremely easily through deviceShifu, a digital twin for your device.
• deviceShifu provides you with a high-level abstraction to interact with your device. By implementing the interface of the deviceShifu, your IoT device can achieve everything its designed for, and much more! For example, you can have your device actively push its telemetries to any endpoint of your choice.

How to use Shifu?

Please refer to shifu doc.

Demo:

We have prepared a demo for developers to intuitively show how Shifu is able to create and manage digital twins of any physical devices in real world.

Our Roadmap

Features

Supported

• Telemetry collection: shifu supports periodic collection of any telemetries from device. What telemetries to collect, how to collect, how frequent is the collection are all customizable in one single configuration file.
• Integration with Kubernetes with CRD: shifu allows any types or forms of configurations for your devices.

Not yet supported

• Auto deviceShifu generation
• Declarative API
• Advanced Shifu Controller
• shifud
• Abstraction:
  • Horizontal
  • Vertical
• Simulation

Shifu's vision

Make developers and operators happy again

Developers and operators should 100% focus on using their creativity to make huge impacts, not fixing infrastructures and re-inventing the wheels day in and day out. As a developer and an operator, Shifu knows your pain!!! Shifu wants to take out all the underlying mess, and make us developers and operators happy again!

Software Defined World (SDW)

If every IoT device has a Shifu with it, we can leverage software to manage our surroundings, and make the whole world software defined. In a SDW, everything is intelligent, and the world around you will automatically change itself to serve your needs. After all, all the technology we built are designed to serve human beings.
