Xen Developer & Design Summit 2018

Containers are extremely convenient to package applications and deploy them quickly across the data center. They enable microservices oriented approaches to the development of complex apps. These technologies are benefiting the data center, but are struggling to find their place in embedded environments.

As embedded developers, we would like the convenience of containers for deployment, while retaining real-time capabilities and supporting mixing and matching of applications with different safety and criticality profiles on the same board.

This talk will introduce ViryaOS, a new OSS project to create the ideal platform for secure containers in embedded. It will discuss the design goals and the key runtime components. It will cover the new Virya cross-architecture build system, based on Docker containers, and designed to build and assemble multiple domains into a single target image.
