Raspberry Pi and MQTT Essentials
Get familiar with all the concepts related to Raspberry Pi and MQTT, build innovative IoT projects, and discover how to scale these projects to the next levelKey FeaturesLearn some of the most popular tools used in IoT – Raspberry Pi, MQTT, ESP8266 and moreBuild exciting projects such as an IoT weather station and a smart switch boardDiscover the advantages of taking your MQTT broker globalBook DescriptionThe future of IoT has the potential to be limitless. Wouldn't it be great if you could add it to your own technological stacks? But where to start? With the basics, of course. In this book, you will start by learning about the most popular hardware and communication protocol, Raspberry Pi and MQTT. You will see how to use them together by setting up your own MQTT server on Raspberry Pi and understand how it works. This book explores MQTT in detail, including the clients and devices that you can connect to your server. You will discover two very popular IoT development boards among project developers: the ESP8266 and ESP32 development boards. Then, you will learn how to build interactive dashboards on your Pi and monitor your client devices. The book also shows you how to build a dashboard using another popular software – Node-RED. You will be able to put your skills to the test by creating two full-scale projects. That's not all: you will also learn how to host your own MQTT server on a virtual cloud service. Finally, you will be guided on how to move forward from here, what technologies to learn, and some project recommendations to polish or test your knowledge. By the end of this book, you will be able to build meaningful projects using Raspberry Pi and MQTT and create dashboards for your projects on Node-RED.What you will learnConfigure and use a Raspberry Pi for IoT projectsImplement the MQTT communication protocol for projectsUnderstand how to set up the NodeMCU and ESP32 boards as MQTT clientsControl a NodeMCU board through a Node-RED dashboard hosted on Raspberry PiGet LAMP server, Home Assistant, and MariaDB on the Raspberry PiSet up an online MQTT broker on a cloud service or enterprise service provider platformBuild full-scale, end-to-end prototype projectsWho this book is forThis book is for students who are interested in IoT and want to build projects using the available developer hardware. Educators who want to introduce a course on IoT into their curriculum, technology enthusiasts, and IoT developers who are just getting started will also benefit from this book. No prior knowledge about the two main topics that the book covers is required - Raspberry Pi and MQTT. A basic understanding of what IoT is will also be useful but not mandatory.

Running ESXi on a Raspberry Pi
Gain foundational knowledge of ESXi technology and understand why it is such a dominant force in the datacenter. This book also looks beyond ESXi to other vSphere technologies, such as virtual machines (VMs), vMotion, and vCenter Server. Knowing how these technologies complement ESXi running on a Raspberry Pi will help you get the most out of ESXi on Arm technologies. This marks a significant change for ESXi, and has created new learning opportunities and use cases for both seasoned ESXi users and users completely new to the virtualization space. For those already familiar with ESXi but new to the Raspberry Pi, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of this device and why it has become such a popular platform for technologists. Once you’ve learned the fundamentals, you’ll be introduced to enterprise, edge, and personal use-cases for this technology. Then, you’ll be walked through the process of installing ESXi on a Pi, as well as managing and monitoring it. You will also come to recognize its strengths and limitations and become familiar with the storage and networking options that are currently available. Lastly, given the fact that the sole purpose of running ESXi on a Pi is to run VMs on it, you’ll receive detailed step-by-step instructions for installing popular OSes including Ubuntu, CentOS, and Raspberry Pi OS. What You'll LearnBuild a fully functional ESXi server on a Raspberry PiSelect the correct hardware for particular use casesCreate and optimize virtual machines running on a PiRun Kubernetes on a Pi running ESXi Who This Book Is ForThose new to the datacenter who want a low-cost way to work with one of the most powerful datacenter technologies to experienced datacenter professionals who need to use ESXi on Arm to complement their enterprise’s long-term strategic goals.
