Containerization on the edge

This work is supported by Second State and FutureWei based on Open Source projects WasmEdge and seL4. Application containers, such as Docker, are a key driving force behind the growth of Cloud Native applications. However, while the Cloud-Native development paradigm has proven very popular, it is difficult to expand the Cloud-Native infrastructure beyond large data centers since application containers require significant amounts of computing resources. For example, Docker does not support real-time operating systems (RTOS) and only works on POSIX systems.…

Second State joins the Autoware Foundation

Second State has joined the Autoware Foundation as an industry member. Through collaboration with the Foundation and member organizations, Second State aims to create and promote an open-source virtualization runtime for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). According to a recent paper on IEEE Spectrum, a typical car has 50+ software vendors. Traditional automotive engineering keeps those heterogeneous software components safe via hardware isolation. That is to enclose each vendor’s software in its own hardware known as an ECU.…
