Wind River®, a global leader in software for mission-critical intelligent systems, today announced the availability of its Wind River Studio Developer platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), further accelerating innovation in software-defined vehicles. The platform is currently being showcased at the AWS Prototyping and Innovation Lab in Santa Clara.

Wind River Studio Developer is a comprehensive, edge-to-cloud DevOps platform designed to enhance developer productivity, improve operational quality, and accelerate time-to-market. Now deployable on AWS, the platform enables cloud-scale automated build and test capabilities for safety-critical embedded edge applications. Leveraging AWS infrastructure, Wind River Studio provides a scalable, collaborative development environment with a robust suite of tools for full lifecycle management.

The joint demonstration at the AWS Prototyping and Innovation Lab highlights the cloud-native development and deployment of software updates for connected vehicles. The automotive showcase illustrates an optimized, end-to-end embedded software development experience—from application development and testing to deployment in a software-defined vehicle environment. Utilizing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), the demo features capabilities such as test automation, remote access to test devices, and over-the-air (OTA) update functionality.

Demonstrating the extensibility of Wind River Studio, the solution integrates Amazon Q, a generative AI-powered assistant, to enhance developer productivity. This integration connects Studio to Amazon CodeWhisperer, AWS’s AI-powered code generation tool, enabling real-time code recommendations and AI-assisted development within the platform.

“The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward software-defined systems,” said Avijit Sinha, President of Wind River. “Our collaboration with AWS enables us to deliver a turnkey, cloud-based solution that supports the entire product lifecycle for automotive and other mission-critical systems. We’re proud to showcase this innovation at the AWS Prototyping and Innovation Lab.”
