description: Balena is a complete platform for building, deploying, and managing fleets of connected Linux devices. The platform
  combines balenaOS, balenaEngine, balenaCloud, the balena CLI, and the balena SDK so teams can build container-based device
  images and continuously deliver them to devices in the field. The balenaCloud REST API exposes device, fleet, release, and
  organization management using OData-style queries.
