The invisible container fortress – isolating apps in software instead of distinct ECUs
Containers on Linux is a concept that allows a software integrator to isolate a runtime environment from the host operating system, often used to run software inside an enclosed environment.
In the automotive industry, where different companies provide parts of the final product, this concept helps to integrate third-party software without the risk of influencing or negatively impacting other components in the system. Software manufacturers implement and test their applications as a container inside their development environment and can hand over the container to system integrators without the risk of inconsistencies or unwanted side effects.
