2Integrating Without CompromisingThe key is standardizing the DevOps environment with one suite of modular tools specifically built for cloud-nativedevelopment and multidimensional integration. But how does that happen?Successful adoption of a cloud-native environment is the critical first step. The cloud model offers the scale, the flexi-bility, and the common packaging of multiple technologies and practices that can deliver immediate efficiencies to em-bedded software development. And many of these technologies and practices are already in use by key partners.For example, cloud-native CI/CD and DevSecOps models are now widespread within the telco industry, as are containertechnologies. With containers, DevOps teams can deploy lightweight microservices, which can scale quickly as demandgrows, and add new functionality that can be delivered in real time. These and other cloud capabilities have enabledtelco enterprises to build and deploy next-generation 5G/6G, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and V2X (vehicle to everything)innovations — which, in turn, can complement and stimulate innovation from auto OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.Simply put, cloud native has the potential to change the way the auto industry works with its partners to de-liver embedded software innovations to the vehicle and the fleet —if auto OEMs can find a way to standardize theDevOps environment.Which brings us to the next question: how to adopt a single platform that contains integrated tools, technologies,and practices that are accessible to multiple DevOps teams via the cloud.This has been the singular vision and focus of the Wind RiverStudio Developer suite. It is a cloud-native, modular,end-to-end lifecycle management platform that enables users to scan, build, debug, test, deploy, and manage de-vices and data, automate processes, and optimize key workflows.By increasing standardization, automation, and component/code reusability, Studio Developer helps cut develop-ment costs and timeframes. Application engineers from multiple divisions within a company or partner companiescan migrate between environments without constantly having to learn new tools and processes. This is increasinglyvaluable as teams move from one generation or vehicle-type auto platform to the next. Studio Developer also en-ables shift-left testing with simulation to test earlier and at greater scale, as well as real-time visibility into conditionsand usage patterns in vehicles in the field.By providing these capabilities, Studio Developer makes it possible to simplify and accelerate the DevOpsprocess and collaborate with partners, without losing control and without compromising on safety, security,or other key requirements.The Vital Link to MonetizationWhen new embedded software innovations can be built, tested, secured, and delivered to vehicles sooner, the oppor-tunities for monetization grow exponentially. And when the innovations of partners in other industries can be com-plemented by additional capabilities, new sources of revenue emerge.For example, telco companies are already exploring ultra-load-intensive connectivity services for vehicles. Auto man-ufacturers can add value to these innovations and deliver killer new pervasive connectivity services and create newsubscription-based services or revenue models.Each of the five modules of Studio Developer contributes to faster development, testing, and deployment of new in-novations and expands the opportunities for collaboration — and monetization. To cite just a few examples:•Wind River Studio Pipelinesmakes it possible to integrate popular embedded software tools, from scanning toolsto security threat modeling to testing, with complete digital traceability of the configuration. And it provides auto-mation tools that can be integrated with all existing environments. Existing automation tools can be invoked as-isor repartitioned into smaller pipelines that can be reused in multistage environments. The result: Automation sce-narios can be shared and reused among teams, providing greater visibility into their automation environment. Andwith the traceability features, 20 years down the road automakers can reproduce their pipelines or software buildsfrom a repository.•Wind River Studio VirtualLabhelps eliminate the high costs and unpredictable schedules that result from hav-ing to delay software testing until development hardware is manufactured. It provides cloud-based manage-ment of simulated and physical hardware resources to automate embedded testing, which accelerates develop-ment and release cycles. •Wind River Studio Over-the-Air Updateshelps cut the complexity and expense of securing and maintainingcompliance by making it possible to update fielded, embedded software OTA, which in turn reduces mainte-nance costs and the risk of recalls.•Wind River Studio Digital Feedback Loopgives auto OEMs visibility into conditions and usage on edge devices.By establishing feedback loops between edge and cloud systems with fl
