bootc and bootable container images
I have been involved deeply with product teams in the scoping, testing, and documentation of this new leading-edge technology since before I started writing this book. These efforts introduced me to some really amazing engineers who are adept at thinking outside the box.
What is bootc? A simplified way of looking at bootc would be to define it as a tool for layering a Linux kernel into a container image so the container image can boot itself without external operating systems hosting it.
If you are interested in contributing to this global effort to transform technology (or just learning more), here’s the bootc GitHub repository: https://github.com/containers/bootc. There, you can find extensive documentation that is readily maintained.
