Guidance for Deploying Virtual Engineering Workbench on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how the Virtual Engineering Workbench (VEW) framework accelerates software development lifecycles and supports software-defined vehicles. VEW automates, virtualizes, and orchestrates processes to support the software development lifecycle, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to reduce feedback cycle times. Using VEW, this Guidance implements automated testing, validation, and development processes, significantly reducing feature cycle time and increasing new feature throughput while maintaining consistent development environments.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

With Lambda, you can focus on building business logic while AWS manages the underlying infrastructure. Integrate API Gateway and EventBridge to create loosely coupled, event-driven architectures that are highly reliable. Amazon CloudWatch monitors, observes, and gains insights into your applications and services.

Achieve fault tolerance, automatic scaling, and robust event processing with Amazon EC2, EventBridge, and API Gateway. EC2 instances can be distributed across multiple Availability Zones and Regions, helping ensure high availability through failover strategies. EventBridge offers improved failure recovery with dead-letter queues and custom retry policies, while API Gateway minimizes infrastructure failure risks.

CloudFront accelerates content delivery through its global edge network. Amazon EC2 offers scalable compute resources on-demand. Direct Connect provides dedicated, low-latency connectivity to AWS. Lambda@Edge enables real-time processing at the edge, reducing latency. These services address key aspects of application delivery and processing, including content caching, compute scaling, reliable connectivity, and dynamic edge processing, creating a robust infrastructure for delivering high-performance applications and content globally.

AWS Graviton instances use energy-efficient ARM-based processors, which help you increase your energy-to-compute power ratio. Provision EC2 instances on-demand to replace underutilized infrastructure and improve resource utilization. Implement serverless architectures with Lambda to minimize idle resources and reduce your environmental footprint.
