Ubuntu, pioneer in the IOT age

Ubuntu is a free open-source operating system that can be used on PCs, smartphones, tablets, servers, and the cloud. As the world's third-largest operating system, Ubuntu is committed to running the same operating system platform on multiple devices of different screen sizes and has been widely used in the Cloud technology and personal computer fields. With the continuous improvement and application of the SnappyUbuntuCore platform, we can expect that the Snappy version of Ubuntu will play an important role in the smart Iot era. So, SnappyUbunt

Ubuntu is a free open-source operating system that can be used on PCs, smartphones, tablets, servers, and the cloud.

As the world's third-largest operating system, Ubuntu is committed to running the same operating system platform on multiple devices of different screen sizes and has been widely used in the Cloud technology and personal computer fields. With the continuous improvement and application of the Snappy Ubuntu Core platform, we can expect that the Snappy version of Ubuntu will play an important role in the smart Iot era.

So what kind of technology is Snappy Ubuntu Core?

Snappy Ubuntu is a brand new operating system with transactional updates for the cloud and devices. It can be divided:

-Snappy Ubuntu Core: cloud and IoT)

-Snappy Ubuntu Personal: for mobile phones, tablets, and computers

What are the characteristics of this technology?

The extremely small server image uses the same library as today's Ubuntu, but the mechanism for providing applications is simpler.

For "transactional" or "Image-based" system management, Snappy applications and Ubuntu Core can be upgraded at the atomic level and rolled back as needed. This is a rock-solid approach, and is ideal for deployment that puts predictability and reliability first.

Snappy Ubuntu Core has world-leading security. Ubuntu Core implements strict application isolation. This is also the smallest and safest Ubuntu device and cloud platform to date. The Snappy application is subject to the Canonical AppArmor kernel security system. The system provides a strict MAC-based isolation mechanism and a user-friendly security configuration file. In the Snappy version of Ubuntu, we can completely isolate applications from each other, just as on a mobile phone, so as to install applications from various sources more securely.

Snappy also provides more secure and reliable updates, which means that you can update servers on the cloud faster and with greater peace of mind and automatically fix security issues. When updating the Snappy application, all your data will be backed up before the update and rolled back when the update fails for any reason, so your system will never be incomplete. Ensure that each update is successful, and the user can roll back to the previous version as effectively.

For developers, Ubuntu Core development can be more convenient and simple.

In simple application creation mode, users can download the package immediately as long as all required files are packaged into a software package and published. The Snappy package can be statically linked and comes with copies of any files it requires. Developers can use the library version they need and control it when these libraries are changed. If they want to, they can also use the core system library provided by Ubuntu. Ubuntu Core applications can be released without being a Ubuntu developer or following complicated packaging rules. Anyone can simply and quickly publish any application to users around the world.

Ubuntu Core provides a framework that can easily expand the basic system. Any provider can work with Canonical to provide a framework that provides services to applications dependent on it.

The Snappy Technology and Application constraint system provide Ubuntu Core with the perfect mobile phone system and application updates. Now this technology has been used on cloud and device platforms, in the future, it will also be applied to a wide range of smart things platforms.
