Booting Containers: Revolutionizing Linux System Deployment - DevConf.CZ 2024

Explore the concept of booting containers in this 35-minute keynote from DevConf.CZ 2024. Delve into the possibilities of including a kernel in container images, committing entire Linux system definitions to version control, and pushing complete system images like containers. Learn how applying OCI container practices, tooling, and standards to operating systems can revolutionize deployment and updates. Discover the potential for creating a complete trust chain from boot loader through the OS to containerized apps, while incorporating immutability, auto-updating, and resetting features. Witness practical demonstrations of real-world applications built from existing packages, and gain insights into projects working on various aspects of this innovative approach. Get excited about the future of operating systems as speakers Dan Walsh, Stef Walter, and Colin Walters present their vision for a new era of containerization.
