Open Source Summit North America 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 at the edge.

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 SoC.

This talk will introduce ViryaOS a new project from contributors of the Xen Project that intends to create an ideal platform for secure containers in embedded and IoT. It will discuss the design goals and the security properties. The talk will cover the execution environment as well as the new Docker-based cross-architecture build system, designed to build and assemble multiple domains into a single target.
