OpenEmbedded Workshop 2020

CNCF technologies on the edge: containers++
02-03, 09:45–10:15 (Europe/Amsterdam), Hedy Lamarr

Flexible, connected platforms are core components in leading computing fields
(i.e. IoT, NFV, SDN, PaaS, IaaS, etc). These modern systems and applications
drive requirements on the core platform that lead to the convergence of
enterprise and embedded operating environments. As a result, existing methods
for build, deployment and maintenance of embedded platforms are augmented with
"Enterprise-like" functionality.

Bruce will discuss how the layers and technologies in the OpenEmbedded ecosystem
can be used to produce many different types of cloud native systems. The
presentation will show how to produce standard containers, microservices to full
containerized operating environments. Discussions around OpenEmbedded benefits,
such as optimized (performance, footprint, licensing, development), will be
highlighted as part of this talk.

Bruce has been working professionally with Linux since 2000, and a user since
1995. He currently works as a Principal Systems Engineer for Xilinx, spending
time as maintainer for the Yocto project reference kernel, meta-virtualization
and meta-cloud-service slayers. Although most of Bruce's effort is spent in the
kernel and virtualization, his experience ranges from build systems and shell
scripting, to userspace and graphics toolkits. Bruce has spoken at ELC in the
past, at internal conferences/showcases and technology presentations to smaller
audiences.
