## Image Based Linux with Bootable Container Images

Over the last decade, [OCI containers](https://specs.opencontainers.org/image-spec/) have become a de facto way to deploy a complete functioning Linux user space as an application.
A large set of practices and tooling has evolved around them.

Bootable containers are a modern opinionated way of deploying, configuring and managing immutable image based Linux systems.

Our goals are:

1. Use standard container practices and tooling, such as the [OCI standard](https://specs.opencontainers.org/image-spec/), layering, container registries, signing, testing, and GitOps workflows to build Linux systems.

1. Container images describe the operating system behavior as a prebuilt predefined unit, rather than defined during deployment out of fine grained packages.
There is a strong bias toward having the full system definition committed to version control, including a list of components, application files and system configuration.
There is a strong bias toward having the full system definition committed to version control, including a list of components, application files and system configuration. This bias helps implement the concept of a more composable operating system.

1. The system updates atomically.
It is robust to power outages or software failures during updates.
