Developers of the Opensuse published atomarly updated Distribution “ Opensuse Leap Micro 5.3 “, designed to create microservices and as a basic system for virtualization platforms and container insulation. For downloads Assemblies for architectures x86_64 and ARM64 (AARCH64), supplied as an installer (Offline collection, size 1.9 GB ), and in the form of ready-made loading images: 782MB (parameted), 969MB (with real-time nucleus) and 1.1GB. Images can be launched under the control of Xen and KVM hypervisors or on top of the equipment, including Raspberry Pi.
Distant Opensuse Leap Micro is based on the achievements of the project microos and is positioned as a commercial product of a commercial product linux enterprise Micro 5.3 , characterized by the lack of delivery of the graphic interface. For configuration, you can use the Web-interface COCKPIT , which allows you to control the system through the browser, tools cloud-init with the transfer of settings at each download or combustion for setting settings for setting settings for setting down During the first load. The user is provided with a tool for quick switching with the Leap Micro on the SUSE SLE Micro, it is understood that you can first implement a LEAP Micro solution for free, and if necessary, extended support or certification, transfer the existing configuration to the SUSE SLE Micro product.
The key feature of the Leap Micro is the mechanism of the atomic installation of updates, which are loaded and used automatically. Unlike atomic updates on the basis of OSTREE and SNAP, used in Fedora and Ubuntu, in the OpenSuse LEAP Micro instead of building individual atomic images and expanding additional delivery infrastructure, full-time packet management tools (Transactional-Update), in combination with the mechanism of fs. (Snapshots are used for atomic switching between the state of the system before and after installing updates). In case of problems after applying updates, you can roll back the system to the previous state. To update the Linux nucleus without restarting and suspension, the work is supported by live-patch .
