Eclipse BlueChi - Deterministic Multi-Node Service Controller for Automotive and Edge

Explore Eclipse BlueChi, a multi-node systemd service controller designed for deterministic state transitions in resource-constrained environments, with a focus on the automotive industry. Delve into the architecture and API of this tool, formerly known as Hirte, and learn how it extends systemd to manage and monitor services across multiple nodes. Discover BlueChi's approach to resolving inter-node service dependencies and its ability to measure basic performance metrics like CPU and memory utilization. Gain insights into its seamless integration with Podman, creating a resource-efficient and deterministic container orchestration solution, which is considered crucial for the development of Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). This 28-minute DevConf.CZ 2024 talk, presented by Michael Engel, offers a comprehensive overview of Eclipse BlueChi's capabilities and its potential impact on the automotive and edge computing sectors.
