Wind River Studio for Distributed Work Environments
Customizable automation engine, digital feedback loop,
Provides enhanced security, ML analytics, and DevSecOps pipelines.


The potential of the IoT is being realized with the proliferation of 5G and AI applications, and the rise of autonomous and intelligent systems. A joint study by Forbes and Wind River predicts that AI, robotics, and automation will drive 70% of global GDP growth by 2030.

Wind River announced on the 22nd that it has launched the latest release of its cloud-native platform, Wind River Studio. With this release, Wind River improves productivity, agility, and time-to-market performance through seamless integration with cutting-edge technologies such as far edge computing, data analytics, security, 5G, and AI/ML.

“Cloud-based intelligent systems require software infrastructure that can securely collect and process machine data in real time, receiving digital feedback from multiple edge systems,” said Kevin Dallas, president and CEO of Wind River. “With Wind River Studio, companies looking to leverage intelligent systems can create a complete lifecycle environment built for a cloud-native environment.”

Automation is at the core of the DevSecOps software lifecycle, encompassing development, security, and operations. Automation frees companies from repetitive tasks and allows them to focus on improving customer experiences. The latest Wind River Studio helps accelerate the development of connected, intelligent systems. Organizations developing drone delivery, autonomous vehicles, and industrial robots can integrate leading automation tools and software platforms through customized automation pipelines.

◇ New releases, supporting all stages of development, deployment, operation, and service.

New features added to Wind River Studio span the four-stage lifecycle of intelligent systems: development, deployment, operations, and service, and provide the following key benefits:

First is the development stage. The new release supports defining, monitoring, and executing complex software automation pipelines with the Pipeline Manager visualization tool. Development teams working collaboratively on VxWorks and Wind River Linux can complete continuous integration and deployment in less than five minutes.

Wind River Simics is used to create and synchronize digital twins, enabling modeling of cyberspace resources, devices, and entire systems for verification and operation. QEMU and simulation capabilities enable rapid emulation. DevSecOps capabilities also support the development of modern software deployable on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft® Azure.

At the deployment stage, the latest cloud platform update provides optional support for 5G vRAN accelerators and GPUs to support AI and augmented reality applications in 5G environments.

Application orchestration allows you to build, configure, and manage the application lifecycle across target devices and cloud infrastructure in public cloud environments like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as within the Wind River Studio platform and private clouds. CI/CD and DevSecOps allow you to apply an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) approach to infrastructure and application deployment and lifecycle management.

At the operational level, digital feedback loops maximize the value of data across operating systems, applications, infrastructure, systems, or devices, enabling improved capabilities and faster problem resolution. Analytics capabilities based on digital feedback loops enable real-time analysis, reporting, and alerting, optimizing infrastructure and application performance and enabling integration with backend big data systems. Furthermore, operational automation reduces operating expenses (OpEx), integrates distributed intelligent systems, and automates maintenance tasks for virtualized infrastructure and systems with infrastructure management capabilities.

At the service level, enablement services support network setup, configuration, installation, and testing when using Wind River Studio on AWS and Microsoft Azure. Acceleration services support the analysis and migration of legacy workflows, providing expert-level training and advanced tool integration required for DevSecOps implementation.

Transformation services include managed services, security, authentication, machine learning use cases, and application-specific solutions. Concierge services help customers select the optimal option among enablement, acceleration, and transformation services.

Meanwhile, Wind River is strengthening collaboration with key partners within the ecosystem to support security verification through LDRA static and dynamic analysis capabilities, open source license compliance through Revenera software composition analysis capabilities, and security and quality defect remediation through Synopsys' Coverity® static code analysis solution.
