Modern avionics programs are increasingly drawn to virtualization patterns inspired by the cloud. Organizations manage one application per virtual machine (VM) with minimal operating system images per workload and strong isolation between functions. However, the way virtual machines are designed and supported by the underlying hypervisor is critical in the context of a DO-178C and DO-297 certification environment.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global industrial technology leader, today announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the adoption of production-ready edge AI. The companies are working together to evolve NVIDIA Jetson - including next generation platforms such as Jetson Thor - into commercially supported, production-ready edge AI platforms for the next generation of intelligent systems.

VMware is used by so many teams for so many things that transitions can be brutal. Few likely made the effort to learn how the existing system was used, much less document it. And even less likely bothered to explore near-term environment changes. Many IT executives have made the transition from VMware to an alternative and lived to tell the tale. Usually, they have scars – largely due to a lack of preparation.

NASA’s Artemis II mission was a crucial step toward a sustained return to lunar exploration. The four astronauts spent nearly 10 days on the Orion spacecraft in April 2026 on a journey that included a lunar flyby and a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Artemis II turned years of preparation into real‑world success, clearing the path for upcoming crewed lunar landings and laying the foundation for long‑term human exploration of the moon — and eventually Mars.

• For nearly a decade, Industry 4.0 has promised smarter, more autonomous factories powered by connectivity, data, cloud software, and more affordable compute. Yet many manufacturers still struggle to move beyond pilots and isolated wins. The vision is compelling: dynamic supply chains; digital twins; augmented reality support on the factory floor; and intelligent, autonomous manufacturing plants that continuously optimize for quality, throughput, and cost.

• For years, VMware was the default answer for enterprise virtualization. It was stable, familiar, and deeply embedded in the infrastructure decisions of thousands of organizations worldwide. But at this point, it’s no secret that this calculus has changed. VMware licensing costs surged, and product bundles were restructured.

WALNUT CREEK, CA — May 12, 2026 — Wind River, an Aptiv company and global leader in software for the intelligent edge, today announced that Superheat, a global leader in advanced onsite heat treatment solutions, will use Wind River’s eLxr Pro™ to power its next-generation industrial controllers deployed across critical oil, gas, energy, shipyard, aerospace, and defense applications.

Collaboration to Deliver Safer, Smarter, and More Cost-Effective Industrial Automation SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland and TURIN, Italy — May 5, 2026 — Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global industrial technology leader, and Comau, a worldwide leader in industrial automation, today announced a collaboration to explore the co-development of next-generation intelligent automation solutions designed to help industrial customers operate more safely, efficiently, and autonomously.

• AI and data-intensive workloads are moving beyond centralized clusters into thousands of distributed systems, where uptime, auditability, and lifecycle governance matter as much as performance. Yet enterprise architecture challenges continue unabated, not least of which is updating complex estates while controlling cost, reducing technical debt, and managing risk. Enterprise Linux is no longer just about the operating system. It’s about operating at scale across diverse, distributed environments.

By Paul Miller, CTO, Intelligent Systems, Software and Services, Aptiv As explained in my earlier blog post “Five Hard Problems Enterprises Face When AI Leaves the Data Center,” edge AI adoption forces enterprises to rethink how intelligence, data, infrastructure, and operations interact across a system’s full lifecycle. The transition from data center AI to edge AI mirrors earlier computing shifts.
