Embedded development is modernizing and transforming digitally, changing forever — and for good. The Internet of Things and the advent of intelligent systems require network connectivity to collect data that can be used for monitoring and analytics. This persistent connectivity calls for constant upgrades and new capabilities as well as rapid fixes for security issues. One of the most efficient and effective ways to accomplish this is through containers.

This demonstration and discussion will touch on some of the embedded use cases where it makes sense to leverage container technology on an RTOS. We will show you how containers can empower a software developer to leverage open source, extend functionality after deployment, and adapt to changing specifications.

What you will learn:

• Use cases for containers on both Linux and VxWorks
• How to resource partitioning to maximize container benefits
• How to rapidly deploy a new application for VxWorks using containers
