Super Container OS, an operating system for container deployments

Containers are becoming increasingly popular in businesses, and their adoption and use show no signs of slowing down. Quite the contrary. More and more companies are relying on containers to carry the weight of work with apps and service deployment. Administrators often use their preferred operating systems for deployment and management, but this often involves too much power and functionality when simpler, more precise systems are needed. To avoid this there are specific operating systemsin this case, for containers. What Super Container OSdeveloped by Harshad Joshi.

This operating system for containers is a Linux distribution that, although it is still in the testing phase, promises to be an ally for all those who work in the start-up, deployment and management of containers. It can be run both installed and uninstalled, loading the system into memory during startup. By default it has the docker container engine installedand also carries pre-installed Kubernetes.

In addition, among other options, it allows you to run Xen Hypervisor during installation, and Portainer is preinstalled for Docker management. It also comes with Cockpit installed and activated, and has Helm for managing pre-configured Kubernetes resource bundles. Of course, during the installation, although it asks you for an administrator password, you should avoid doing so. At least for now, because it doesn’t work. According to TechRepublic, if you do, you won’t be able to use many of its features and will have to install it a second time, this time without an administrator password.

Super Container OS installs like any Linux distributioneither through a text-based installer or an installer that has a graphical user interface and can make the process easier, especially for those who don’t have much experience working with Linux.

After its installation, or its start without installation, those in charge of the deployment and management of the containers will find a simple system devoid of superfluous functions. All its elements are focused on the development and deployment of containers. This eliminates the need to develop, before being able to focus on working with containers, the environments that allow it to do so.
