GE Predix is the most mature I-IoT OEM platform.  In 2012, GE, one the biggest conglomerates in the world working in energy, aviation, healthcare, and transportation, decided to invest in digital transformation. In 2013, GE released the Predix Platform, a cloud-based platform based on microservices and Cloud Foundry (CF). With Predix, we can register for free and test applications.

To discover the basic capabilities of Predix, we will deploy a simple application that accesses a time-series and an authentication service. The following diagram shows the main components of the proposed architecture. On the cloud, we will deploy the authentication service and the time-series service. We then build our application on our local PC, and after having configured the manifest.yml, we are ready to deploy the application on the Predix cloud:

In the proposed exercise, we will configure the Predix cloud service and deploy our first application
