In the previous post of this series - Compose Apps for IoT: Why They Matter and How ComposeCtl Helps we explored how to package, publish, pull, and run Compose Apps in a consistent and reproducible manner. We also highlighted several critical gaps that must be addressed to enable more reliable and security-focused OTA delivery across production fleets.
