![]() This week Wind River announced that their Wind River Linux product would support Docker and Kubernetes, the dominant container development and orchestration tools. Wind River Incorporates Industrial Edge containers Containers and Kubernetes Two recent announcements indicate to me that ARC’s 2018 prediction is correct, and both give us hints about what future industrial and IIoT software systems will look like. In a nutshell, industrial edge characteristics include heterogeneous hardware, legacy systems, very limited compute/storage capability, real-time applications, very long lifecycles, and production criticality. But since these software technologies have been developed for the cloud, it’s not 100 percent clear how they need to adapt for the much different characteristics of the industrial edge. For details see the 2018 ARC report “The End of Industrial Automation (as we know it)”. Product and Service Lifecycle ManagementĪRC has been predicting for some time that software containers and container orchestration are the future direction for industrial systems, including today’s industrial embedded systems.
