LabVIEW Cloud Image

[asuwish4]

I'm surprised a search did not turn up anything about this.  NI should create a LabVIEW Amazon Web Services/Azure/Docker Image(s).  The sample case I am thinking of is having a Jenkins CI server running on AWS EC2 with a full LabVIEW environment installed.  This would allow off-loading the long FPGA or full RF suite builds during CI.

Apparently NI had this with LabVIEW 2012 on AWS

I would suggest to NI the following steps:

1. Collect underpants
2. create AWS LabVIEW image for cloud-based compiling - charge per use
3. Use AWS to work out the kinks to get an efficient, speedy image created
4. Open an NI data-center that does what AWS/Azure does but for the tech/engineering field and host all of their own software images
5. Profit (or at least start to pay back that huge CapEx outlay)

Thanks!

I am sure you aware of the NI LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service, so in what way are you trying to expand on it with yur idea?
