Tim Orling
Tim Orling is a senior software engineer in the Internet of Things Group (IOTG) and the Yocto Project Architect for Intel. Tim joined Intel in early 2016 and currently works on the High-velocity Silicon Platform Engineering (HSPE) team, after many years as a volunteer developer for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project. He has been an open source software and embedded hardware enthusiast for many years. He taught in a university setting for more than 5 years and has given many well-received training sessions and technical talks at conferences. Tim has a fascination with all things fermented and microbiological (homebrewing, cider-, wine-, and cheese-making, kefir, kombucha, lacto-fermented anything). Tim is an avid gardener, recovering mountain biking addict and has been known to sing and play guitar on occasion. He looks forward to his 28 chili pepper plants producing a bumper crop this year.
Sessions
Surrounded by legacy requirements and motivated attackers, can you use mainline kernels for new security protections, without risking application compatibility? Yocto Project’s meta-virtualization layer maintains hypervisors that can isolate bare-metal kernels from workload-tailored, virtual-hardware kernels.
Virtualization enables strong isolation via robust, narrow interfaces, to run efficient, multi-layered systems on hardware and software platforms from diverse sources.
We show how to assemble fully integrated systems with YP, with multiple hypervisors -- Xen, KVM and ACRN -- as interchangeable components under build configuration control, with a selection of from-source and binary-distro guests, to run on hardware from Intel, AMD and Arm.
An overview of how k8s and Tekton are being used to maintain parts of the Yocto Project, and how others can use these techniques to create CI/CD pipelines quickly and portably for maintaining layers and BSPs.
