Smart agents are essential elements in an Internet of Things ecosystem. Smart agents are made up of sensors and actuators linked to a micro-controller. These smart agents are programmed through applications that are deployed at the microcontroller level. These programs can be modified or replaced or deleted. Also, the components of these smart agents may change, ie it may be that we add or remove a sensor and actuator. These smart agents must continue to operate without having to stop them and deploy new programs. In this case, we need tools that ensure deployment and continuous integration. Devops offers a continuous deployment chain. We offer an automation solution for the deployment and continuous integration of Edge microservice in microcontrollers. These systems are based on microservices. The microservices deployed are in the form of a Docker container. This solution allows the Internet of Things developer to install, modify, and delete containers at the microcontroller level and to control microcontrollers remotely while maintaining the continuity of operation of the microcontrollers.
