However, the in-vehicle software is still definitely bound and statically executed on particular hardware. This thesis explores the basic feasibility and performance of operating an OpenStack cloud on automotive hardware for in-vehicle use. For evaluation, the introduced overhead and the cases of VM distribution and VM migration are considered and examined. Two automotive ARM SoCs and two high-performance x86 platforms are used for measurements and evaluation. The results indicate that on both hardware, OpenStack is executable and operable. On performable hardware, the results reveal OpenStack to introduce a low overhead and function reliably. However, low resources can influence OpenStack's performance. Furthermore, VM migration and distribution were found to be practicable, although not for real-time applications.}, language = {en} }
