Flexible and connected platforms are core components in leading computing elds, including Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Software-De ned Networking (SDN), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These modern systems and applications drive require- ments on the core platform that lead to the convergence of enterprise and embedded operating environments. As a result, existing methods for build, deployment, and mainte- nance of embedded platforms are augmented with enterprise-like functionality. Similarly, traditional desktop and enterprise distributions are adopting features previously found in embedded systems.
Traditional embedded devices provide an image-based deployment, application, and service delivery environment. The rise of microservices and the extension of develop- ment and operations (DevOps) deeper into the application stack require platforms that can provide an ef cient and dynamic environment. This white paper discusses how the platform itself can embrace and extend cloud, container, and microservices for both applications and system services.
Wind River® PulsarTM Linux bridges the gap between embedded and enter- prise platforms to provide familiar containers and virtual machines while maxi- mizing limited resources. This paper examines the container architecture of the platform, its challenges and features, and how it is optimized for the underlying device.
