VxWorks:
The Leading RTOS for the Intelligent Edge
For nearly 35 years, VxWorks has been used to ensure the security, safety, and reliability you need to design and build mission-critical embedded systems that simply must work.

Upgrade to the Latest VxWorks — Now Supporting OCI Containers
VxWorks® is the first and only real-time operating system (RTOS) in the world to support application deployment through containers.
The latest release of VxWorks includes support for OCI containers. Now you can use traditional IT-like technologies to develop and deploy intelligent edge software better and faster, without compromising determinism and performance. Find out why independent researcher VDC has named VxWorks the #1 RTOS for the edge.

VxWorks: Modern, Future-Proof, and Always Real-Time
VxWorks is a deterministic, priority-based preemptive RTOS with low latency and minimal jitter. It is built on an upgradable, future-proof architecture to help you rapidly respond to changing market requirements and technology advancements.
VxWorks is the only RTOS to support C++17, Boost, Rust, Python, pandas, and more, as well as an edge-optimized, OCI-compliant container engine — enabling you to use the languages, tools, and technologies you love most to innovate where it matters most.
