Special Purpose Operating Systems: The Next Step in OS Evolution or One-Trick Ponies?


There are a number of open source, special purpose operating systems designed for hosting containers. While the each OSes technical approach and philosophy differ, they still share much in common. In this session, a panel of representatives from multiple special purpose OSes will present the general concept of a container host-specific special purpose OS, what makes them distinct from general purpose OSes, and what advantages and challenges they hold for end-users as well as the unique perspective required to maintain and build them.
