Running Containers Faster Than Ever
Red Hat News, Wednesday, July 5,2023
Fascinating changes are happening in the automotive industry. Car manufacturers are moving away from discrete Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in favor of consolidating computing resources into bigger, high-performance computers. The move to a more dynamic system that enables software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is bringing two formerly separate worlds together: automotive and the datacenter-centric IT industry.
Red Hat is a key player in this transformation. In 2022, Red Hat announced the intention to develop the Red Hat In-Vehicle OS, a general-purpose in-vehicle operating system destined to become the future of SDVs. Later that same year, we published a blog to explain how running containers in cars is driving the evolution towards SDVs.
That being said, there is still a lot that separates these two worlds, starting with expectations about system speed and responsiveness.
