A solution to embed container technologies into automotive environments

A Talk about how the DevOps methodology can be used in the development of automotive software. Connectivity and autonomous driving require short software integration and update cycles that cannot be achieved with current automotive architectures and classic software development processes.

The transfer of cloud-native technologies and principles (such as containerization or DevOps) to the world of embedded systems seems to be the next big thing.

However, automotive embedded systems have high-security requirements and limited computing power. Adapting native cloud approaches to such systems can easily lead to performance issues or violate functional requirements.

In this talk, we will discuss and demonstrate issues encountered when using containers, fast update cycles, and DevOps thinking in developing features for connected cars.

We will also present a newly developed IoT container management platform written in Rust that helps us overcome these issues.
