* Build and release – we own the CI/CD charter. We push commits through pipelines that compile binaries, build images, debug symbols, go through multiple stages of validation, and push updates to millions of devices across the Amazon network. We aim to simplify and reduce the time to release new content to the network, automate processes, etc.
* Validation and qualification – builders use our testing frameworks to validate the OS. We own tooling for unit/integration/functional/system testing, and static analysis (but don’t own the tests). We aim to improve quality by reducing defects, increasing the expressiveness of the testing scenarios, and reducing feedback loop.
* Infrastructure – we own and support datacenter labs with tooling that manages inventory, reservations, capacity auto-scaling/provisioning/recovery, sanity checks, etc. This is the underlying infrastructure of the ecosystem.
