通过关键任务行业的平台工程推动成功

Best Practices from Wind River and Capgemini The Platform Software development is becoming increasingly complex, especially in safety-critical and mission-critical systems within industries such as aerospace, defense, telecommunications, industrial With the pace of innovation accelerating, developers have shifted away from the traditional waterfallmodel (requirements, code, testing, validation, certification, and deployment) and toward a more agileapproach. They use cloud-native technologies that support modular code through virtualization or Platform engineering addresses the need for speed, consistency, and quality. The softwaredevelopment platforms created through platform engineering ensure consistent and robust pipelines,enabling faster time-to-market.

Platform engineering is the practice of providing a streamlined, self-service experience for developers, reducing the friction and cognitive load of complexinfrastructure and tooling. By abstracting the complexities of the process, platform engineering enables developers to concentrate on delivering value-addedfeatures and innovation. Platform engineering has been key to the success of companies such as Google, Meta, and Amazon, allowing rapid scaling and frequent deployments.These companies’ ability to iterate quickly and deliver innovative products is largely due to their solid platform engineering foundation. Core Principles Platform engineering relies on a consistent and robust pipeline, enabling teams to deliver code with high quality and reliability. It includes: •Automation: Automating repetitive tasks to improve efficiency•Self-service: Providing developers with self-service access to resources and tools•Standardization: Establishing consistent standards across the software development lifecycle•Developer experience: Focusing on creating a positive and productive experience for developers Platform engineering is becoming increasingly challenging as architectures, software, and electronics grow in sophistication. Skill shortages and market pressuresfurther compound these challenges. Why Platform Engineering Matters for Embedded Systems Software development for embedded systems presents unique hurdles, including: •Variants: Having numerous variants leads to more codebases and increasedverification needs.•Mission-critical requirements: Critical systems demand high levels of In mission-critical applications, reliability and security are paramount.Platform engineering promotes consistency, reducing errors and vulnerabilities.A well-defined platform supports better security and vulnerability management. Forging a Path Forward Capgemini sees clients across diverse industries embracing platform engineering,including those in safety-critical sectors such as aerospace, defense, industrial,and automotive, where there is high value in consistency and speed. The goal Having significant legacy systems and complexity can make it challenging toshift from project-based approaches, and companies often struggle with reuse Gradual steps make the transition manageable, and expert solutions can helpresolve complexity. Platform engineering builds an infrastructure and a common baseline fora wide variety of developers and teams. In organizations with manydevelopers, a dedicated team maintains this common infrastructure, with A well-maintained platform matures into astandardized environment, allowing more robust Overcoming theHeterogeneity Challenge About the Authors The edge computing landscape is remarkablydiverse, unlike desktop, mobile, or cloudenvironments. With various architectures, Wind River helps organizations by integrating bestpractices and tools used by developers acrosstool chains and industries into a common set ofpipelines. Customers can start with a common Development teams often find themselves boggeddown as they face multiple customers, industries,endpoints, silicon architectures, and software Sandeep Modhvadia,Chief Product Officer, Wind River The Future of As Wind River Chief Product Officer, SandeepModhvadia is responsible for driving productstrategy and product management, playing acritical role in Wind River’s leadership advancing thesoftware-defined future of mission-critical systems.He has more than two decades of technology The viable solution involves abstractingcommonalities across the system.
