Portal:MicroOS/Features
Main features of the openSUSE MicroOS is :
- Read-only root filesystem to avoid accidental modifications of the OS
- The Transactional Updates technology leverages btrfs snapshots to apply package updates without interfering with the running system
- health-checker to verify the OS is operational after updates. Automatically rolls back in case of trouble.
- cloud-init for initial system configuration during first boot on Cloud (includes OpenStack)
- Combustion and Ignition for initial system configuration during first boot on all other images.
- Designed to fit perfectly into existing openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise environments
- Podman Container Runtime available
- Rolling Release: Every new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot also automatically produces a new openSUSE MicroOS release. The Leap based version automatically updates when maintenance updates for Leap are published.
