A technical introduction to the Snap Store Proxy

In the world of IoT, it is crucial to be fully in control of your devices. Over-the-air (OTA) updates are essential for a distributed set of devices but must be carefully managed to ensure that an update is not pushed at a time where the device is active and operation should not be interrupted. To enable this level of control, we have developed the Snap Store Proxy, an on-premise edge proxy to the general Snap Store that can do more than simply managing updates. Join Holly Hall, Product Lead at Canonical and Przemysław Suliga, Software Engineer at Canonical, to gain an understanding of the features and applications of the Snap Store Proxy, with a technical demonstration of how to set up, configure and use the proxy to control updates.
