You may have heard of the Log4j security vulnerability and you have concerned whether it impacts our products ? ? Well, don’t worry! We confirm that none of Genymotion Cloud products, SaaS or Device Image, are impacted by this vulnerability ✅
A year ago, and after 4 years of successful cooperation with AWS already, we launched our first Android 8.0 Virtual Devices on an ARM Graviton instance. Since then, we have added Android 7.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 and ramped up our offer. And today, we achieved the AWS “Graviton Ready” status, a technical recognition that our solution is fully following AWS best practices in terms of architecture, software robustness, reliability and customer success. In short… we’ve got a great product! At this occasion, we want to thank the numerous users who have adopted and extensively used Genymotion on Graviton since last year, hence contributing to demonstrate to the AWS team the value of our solution. Usage growth as well as positive feedback has meant a ton to us, but also for our partners at AWS. Haven’t tried Genymotion on Graviton yet? Now that you know we’re bullet-proof, it’s time! So what’s in there? First, you probably know it, we’re a suite of Android Virtual Devices, in the Cloud. On AWS, you can start and stop as many devices as you want in parallel to run and automate Android tests; devices can be controlled through ADB, AWS API and ssh access, which means you can virtually use it for any use case – the only limit is your imagination! Now, Graviton! Genymotion on ARM instances means you are working with a native Android environment, eliminating the need for translation tools. With better compatibility and reduced complexity, you spend less time making things work, but also enjoy better performances, which ultimately means a lower price. Want to check it out? Easy – All versions are self-service and get a free trial! Get Started Choosing Genymotion means getting access to an ever-evolving suite of Android Virtual Devices which is keeping up with market trends at the speed of light; we thrive to deploy new versions of Android as quickly as possible, as well as make our devices available on the latest AWS instances, to offer our customers the most advanced solutions on the market. Stay tuned! AWS just released its first NVIDIA GPU-accelerated Arm-based instances, and we’re already working on it!
Ensuring the best time performance for our users has always been a major focus for the Genymotion team; in fact, we’ve created Android Virtual Devices in the Cloud precisely because they allow better time performance over physical devices, at a lower cost, in most cases. In this line, we’re introducing for the first time our version of Genymotion Android 8.0 Virtual Devices on ARM Graviton instances on the AWS Marketplace. The AWS Graviton 2 ARM instances are seeing up to 70% better time performance, so we were obviously very keen to deploy Genymotion on them. But there’s more to it; it’s not only about the economics. Indeed, since Android is originally built on ARM, providing the ability to execute native Android applications without the need to install binary translation tools will recreate a native user experience of Android and therefore is excellent news for all Android developers and QA engineers. With Genymotion on the new AWS ARM instances (M6g), developers will enjoy: – Lower price, for up to 70% better performance as x86 – Native Android experience: no need to install ARM translation anymore – No nested virtualization for best performances – Ability to spawn both x86-64 or ARM-64 instances – Available on AWS EC2 and fully compatible with the entire AWS ecosystem As usual on AWS, it’s self-service and there is a free trial, so please test it and let us know what you think!
