Containers and Linux have always gone hand-in-hand. But, there was a clear divide: one was the Linux on your host, the other was inside your containers, and each needed separate tools and setups. Why not combine the agility of container development, CI/CD workflows, and more, with the capabilities of full OS development? That's exactly what bootable containers are for, which behave as regular OCI containers but include the full Linux kernel and hardware drivers.
Join us for this live-demo session that shows how to build a custom bootable image based on CentOS Stream 9, starting from a Containerfile then ending up with a full-fledged disk image (ex. qcow, iso, or vmdk) deployable on cloud or bare metal. We'll package together our application workload in an immutable, consistent, and easily updatable operating system, giving you the ability to update and rollback your machines with confidence!
