Vehicles are becoming more complex everyday. Customers expect safe, autonomous, connected, electrified and shared vehicles and these features are achieved via software. Although there is a clear change in focus from hardware to software, the advent of software-defined vehicles will rely heavily on optimised Electrical / Electronic (E/E) vehicle architectures. To make way for this changing paradigm, big hardware changes need to take place.

Today, we're launching ARM support for machines running Alpine Linux. This feature is available for our Ruby and Elixir users!

Linux users cannot just rely on GUI to perform various tasks in their system. Rather they need to have a good knowledge of the various commands available. One of the very useful commands for any Linux user is the find command. This command is used to locate files in one or more directories. Using this command, Linux users can set a specific search area, filter or find the files on the specific area or directory, and perform actions on the files that match the search.

With the recent advancements in service delivery through containers, Linux has gained a lot of popularity in cloud computing by enabling digital businesses to expand easily regardless of their size or budget. These advancements have also brought a new wave of attack, which is challenging to address with the same tools we have been using for non cloud-native environments.
