Abstract

Internet of Things refers to the digital interconnection of everyday services with the Internet, forming a network of physical objects capable of collecting and transmitting data. Internet of Things-based systems are used in several application domains, including e-commerce, Smart Cities and Smart Farming. Currently, construction systems for the Internet of Things have seve- ral research challenges, of which the implementation of applications, using the concept of containers on computational resources available in the cloud, is an important line. This article proposes and presents a multi-cloud infrastructure based on containers for the implementation of applications focused on Smart Farming. Initial results show that the use of clusters, independent of the cloud provider, increases the scalability and availability of the deployed applications.
