Jonathan Lebon bdf12cced6 ci: Stop testing on CentOS 7
Let's stop actively testing on CentOS 7 from this point on. The latest
stable version v2019.2 will be the last fully supported release on this
platform. We may backport patches there if needed.

This will allow us to shed a lot of legacy and dual-paths code that
rendered the code more complex. It'll also reduce friction on new
initiatives like unified core by default and sysusers.

Closes: #1785

rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system

rpm-ostree combines libostree (an image system), with libdnf (a package system), bringing many of the benefits of both together.

Features:

  • Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades
  • OS rollback without affecting user data (/usr but not /etc, /var) via libostree
  • Client-side package layering (and overrides)
  • Easily make your own: rpm-ostree compose tree

Projects using rpm-ostree

Project Atomic is an umbrella project for delivering upstream container technologies and combined with a minimized, atomically upgradable host system to Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.

rpm-ostree is the underlying technology for host updates. The headlining project is "Atomic Host", which is a server variant oriented towards running Linux containers using e.g. Kubernetes. However, there is now also a Workstation variant, showing the full generality of the rpm-ostree model.

Talks and media

A number of Project Atomic talks are available; see for example this post which has a bigger collection that also includes talks on containers.
