Secure Containers in Embedded Deployments

Explore a novel approach to running secure containers in embedded deployments in this conference talk. Delve into the challenges of adapting container technologies for embedded environments while maintaining real-time capabilities and supporting applications with varying safety and criticality profiles. Learn about innovative techniques using embedded hypervisors to reduce the footprint of Docker apps and safely provide direct hardware access. Discover how this method enables the convenience of containers for deployment in small embedded devices without compromising real-time performance or safety. Gain insights into packaging, runtime, componentization, and networking aspects of this approach, as well as its implications for addressing security concerns like Meltdown. Watch a demonstration showcasing the practical application of these concepts in embedded systems.
