Wouldn't it be great if we could provision entire systems, VMs, and edge devices as easily as we build and deploy application containers to Kubernetes? This would make it possible to make lightweight single-purpose systems, while using our favorite CI/CD tools and even IDEs. Well, we can do that now, thanks to bootc.
In this talk, the speaker will walk you through creating a bootc container image for a full system, testing it, and then provisioning that image to a portable computing device. We'll show you how you can use the same tools you use for application container development -- like Podman and Visual Studio -- and use those to build and deploy full OS images. We'll talk a little about other uses for bootc, such as atomic desktops.
By the end of this session, you'll be prepared to create your own bootc images for your special purposes.
