Pacman Description
Pacman is a Linux utility that manages software packages. It uses compressed files as a package format and maintains a text-based database (more like a hierarchy) in case of any hand tweaking. Pacman doesn't try to do everything. It can add, remove, upgrade, and upgrade packages in the system. You can also query the package database to find files, owners, and installed packages. It can also download packages from remote servers and attempt to manage dependencies. Pacman 2.0 introduced the ability to sync packages with a master server (the -sync option) through the use package databases. Before this, packages had to be manually installed using the --add or - upgrade operations.

Active@ Disk Image
Active@ Disk Image is a disk imaging software that creates an exact copy of any disk on your computer (HDD, SSD or USB, CD, DVD and Blu-ray, etc.). It saves it in a folder. These disk images can be used to backup, upgrade or duplicate disks. A backup image can be used to restore your computer system in the event of a computer failure. Create & Restore Disk Image Backup (occupied clusters only). Image Compression (Fast, Normal & High). Mounting images as virtual drives. Images can be both incremental and differential. RAID is supported. Rescue bootable media. Create and restore a raw disk image (sector-by-sector copy). Scheduled backups. Windows Servers are supported. Image Encrypting (AES-128, EES-192, and AES-256). Support for scripting. Notifications by email Cloud storage.

Nix
Nix is a tool which takes a unique approach in package management and system configuration. Learn how to create reliable, reproducible, declarative systems. Nix creates packages isolated from each other. This makes them reproducible and doesn't have undeclared dependency. So if a package is working on one machine, it will also on the other. Nix makes it easy to share development and build environments with your projects regardless of the programming languages or tools you use. Nix makes sure that other packages are not broken by installing or upgrading one package. It allows you to rollback to previous versions and ensures no package is in an unaligned state during an update. Nix is a functional package manager. It treats packages as values in pure functional programming languages like Haskell. Packages are built using functions that have no side effects and never change after they are built.

Cargo
Cargo is the Rust package administrator. Cargo downloads your Rust packages' dependencies, compiles them, makes distributable packages, then uploads them to crates.io. This is the Rust community’s package registry. This book can be contributed to by anyone on GitHub. Install Cargo (and Rust), and create your first crate. You can interact with Cargo via its command-line interface by using the commands. A Rust-crate can be either a library, or an executable program. They are also known as binary crate and library crate. The term crate can refer to either the source code or the compiled artifact produced by the target. It could also refer to a compressed package that was downloaded from a registry. Your crates may depend on libraries from crates.io, other registries, repositories of git, or subdirectories in your local file system. Temporarily, you can override the dependency's location.

Helm
Helm is a tool that helps you manage Kubernetes apps. Helm charts can help you create, modify, and upgrade any Kubernetes app. Charts are simple to create, modify, share, publish, and update. Charts can be used to describe complex apps, make it easy to install the application again and act as a single point for authority. With custom hooks and in-place upgrades, you can take the hassle out of updating. Charts can be easily authored, shared, and hosted on public or private servers. You can use helm rollback to easily roll back to an older release. Helm uses a packaging format called charts. A chart is a collection or files that describes a set of Kubernetes resource. One chart can be used to deploy a simple thing like a memcached container or a complex web app stack that includes HTTP servers, databases, caches and more.
