What are Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) for Cloud?

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.
