rpm-ostree
Hybrid image/package system with atomic upgrades and package layering
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system developed by CoreOS that combines the benefits of image-based and package-based systems for managing Linux operating systems. It utilizes OSTree for managing bootable, immutable filesystem trees and integrates with RPM to allow package layering. This approach enables atomic upgrades and rollbacks, ensuring system stability and consistency across deployments. rpm-ostree is particularly suited for scenarios where reliable and reproducible system states are critical, such as in containerized or edge computing environments.
