Realizing the DevOps Vision in Embedded Systems
DevOps and other modern CI/CD practices are being quickly adopted in enterprise software development and are making their way into the embedded world.
Market demands for ever more complex systems and faster development cycles mean that the adoption of more efficient development methodologies is rapidly turning into an absolute imperative for embedded systems companies. Even if you had infinite budget, there aren’t enough qualified engineers to get the work done. Using traditional embedded development methods wouldn’t allow the sort of gains that you would see by adopting more efficient methodologies.
Wind River® has risen to meet this trend by developing a portfolio of tools that enable the implementation of new DevOps processes. Wind River Linux, VxWorks®, Wind River Helix™ Virtualization Platform, and Wind River Studio all include critical features in their core architectures that facilitate the DevOps and CI/CD workflow, while Wind River Simics® provides the needed system simulation to avoid getting bogged down with test hardware.
Redefining the Role of the RTOS
The world of embedded systems is undergoing a profound evolution. Once isolated and purpose-built, embedded systems are increasingly software-defined with much greater requirements for connectivity, reliability, and flexibility.
VxWorks® continues to lead this evolution with even greater capability, giving developers the power to be more productive and innovative. VxWorks enables embedded developers to take a modern approach to build next-generation embedded designs without compromising security, safety, reliability, and performance.
Smart Linux Solutions for the Intelligent Edge
Linux is the default environment for most software developers and is a popular choice for embedded solutions. However, one of Linux’s greatest strengths, and to some extent its biggest challenge, is that it comes in so many flavors and varieties, each well suited to a particular use case.
Commercially supported embedded Linux is the primary alternative to RYO. Not only are the long-term support and maintenance costs much lower but the technical, business, and legal risks of commercially supported embedded Linux are much lower as well. Commercial vendors can also provide full development services, including platform, services, maintenance, and support, which increase productivity and reduce the overhead of maintaining your own unique embedded Linux distribution.
Cooking with Tidelift
When cooking for friends or family, many of us go out of the way to seek the freshest, tastiest ingredients possible. You may have favorite producers at the local farmers market, or brands from the grocery that you've come to know and trust. But when choosing the ingredients that make up our open source applications, we often bring in new libraries without any guarantees that they are safe and well maintained.
We wanted to distill the idea of managing open source down to something so simple, you could explain it to a child, so that’s why we wrote a children’s book about enterprise open source software management. Yes, we just used the phrases “children’s book” and “enterprise open source software” in the same sentence.
We call it Cooking with Tidelift, and it will show you how we can help you create catalogs of known-good, proactively maintained open source components to ensure your apps are as safe and healthy as they can be.

10 Best Practices for Reducing Spend in AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) forever changed the world of IT when it entered the market in 2006 offering services for pennies on the dollar. While its prices have come down significantly over the years, many companies learned the hard way that moving to the public cloud didn’t always achieve the cost savings they expected.
In fact, organizations have frequently noticed public cloud bills two to three times higher than expectations. This doesn’t mean that moving to the public cloud is a mistake. The public cloud provides huge benefits in agility, responsiveness, simplified operation, and improved innovation but the reality of the cloud is that costs steadily rise over time, and without clear insight into what drives your spend, strategic cost reduction is impossible.
In this book, you will learn the 10 best practices for reducing spend in AWS, so you can start optimizing your cloud for spend and performance today.
12 Hidden Costs and Hurdles to Managing AWS Infrastructure
Cloud adoption is booming. Gartner estimates that spending on cloud services grew 6 percent in 2020 to a total market value of $257.9 billion. While there are several large public cloud players, Amazon Web Services (AWS) remains the largest, with 45 percent of the market share for Infrastructure-as-a-Service, and more than 1 million active users.
But, even with an estimated 91 percent of organizations now using a public cloud, many lack the bandwidth, internal resources, and expertise to properly manage their infrastructure. Aspects like monitoring, proactive improvements, and cost optimization typically require substantial legwork that may occupy engineers and pull them away from core business initiatives.
Without the right resources and expertise, managing your own AWS infrastructure can lead to:
- Costly outages due to hard-to-use monitoring tools.
- Never achieving a proactive approach.
- Overpaying for cloud services.
In this Ebook, we will review 12 hidden costs and hurdles to managing AWS infrastructure on your own, and how working with a managed cloud service provider like Mission can help leverage AWS to accelerate your business.
