balenaOS Description
Containers will revolutionize connected devices and balenaOS is a great way to manage them. Built to withstand harsh networking conditions and unexpected shutdowns. This minimal Linux contains only the services required to run Docker reliably from an embedded device. Yocto Linux is used to port most devices across different CPU architectures. Actively developed in the public; participation from the community is welcome. BalenaCloud is a platform that allows modern software development to be connected to hardware. We started by porting Docker from Linux to ARM chips in 2013. We quickly realized that we needed an operating system that was optimized for this use case. This OS should be minimal and suitable for running containers on embedded devices.
