Automotive Grade Linux Spring All Member Meeting

There are many cases where it makes value to run “non AGL” applications under the control of AGL security framework. This is an obvious case for popular ecosystems as Android or Electron. Furthermore many enterprises find valuable to run legacy applications developed for a previous generation of hardware/software under their new forthcoming platform.

Linux light containers share a unique Linux kernel and come with few extra constraints over hypervisors. On the other hand they are far more efficient in performances and resources, and simplify devices sharing as: audio, graphic, CAN, ...

This talk presents how to run alien sub-systems inside an AGL. It presents two concrete use cases with Android and Electron ecosystems. Then it explains how sharing resources and security model could be implemented, finally it lists existing work to move from a simple POC to a real solution.
