What are Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) for Docker?
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is a specialized OS designed to process data and execute tasks within strict timing constraints. Unlike general-purpose operating systems, RTOS platforms prioritize predictability and determinism, ensuring tasks are completed within guaranteed time frames. They are widely used in embedded systems, robotics, aerospace, automotive electronics, medical devices, and industrial automation where delays could compromise safety or functionality. RTOS platforms often provide lightweight kernels, task scheduling, inter-process communication, and resource management optimized for reliability and low latency. By enabling consistent, time-critical performance, RTOS software ensures that mission-critical applications run smoothly under real-world conditions.

PikeOS
SYSGO
PikeOS offers a separation kernel-based hypervisor with multiple partitions for many other operating systems and applications. It enables you to build smart devices for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) according to the quality, Safety and Security standards of your industry. Due to its separation kernel approach, PikeOS is the first choice for systems which demand protection against Cyber-Security attacks. In addition to the broad usage within millions of IoT and edge systems, it has also been deployed within various high critical communication infrastructures. PikeOS brings together virtualization and real-time by means of unique and never seen before technologies. It allows you to migrate numerous complex embedded circuit boards in to a single hardware. It does not stop when it comes to new hardware concepts such as Big-SoCs with multiple heterogeneous processor cores. PikeOS runs on several architectures, supporting processors that come with a memory management unit (MMU).
