openSUSE Leap Description
OpenSUSE is now possible in a completely new way. Leap uses source code from SUSE Linux Enterprise, which gives Leap an unmatched level of stability and combines it with community developments to give users and developers the best stable Linux experience. OpenSUSE users can upgrade by either booting from the DVD/USB or performing an 'Online Update'. Leap is a stable distribution method that releases one version each year, in between security updates and bugfixes. This makes Leap attractive as a server operating system as well as for Desktops as it requires minimal maintenance. OpenSUSE Leap can be used with SUSE Linux Enterprise, which gives Leap an unmatched level of stability and allows users to migrate to an enterprise offering.

openSUSE MicroOS
Microservice OS provides transactional (Atomic), updates upon a read only btrfs root system. This OS is designed to host container workloads and provide automated administration and patching. OpenSUSE MicroOS provides a small, easy environment for deploying containers or any other workload that can benefit from transactional updates. The software is always current due to rolling release distribution. MicroOS also offers an offline image. The offline image is different from the self-install/raw image in that it has an installer. Raw and self-install allow for customization via combustion or manually in an image after it has been written to the disk. A real-time kernel is also available. MicroOS can be used in VMs that run on either Xen, or KVM. A Raspberry Pi or another system-on-chip hardware might use the preconfigured image along with the combustion functionality to boot.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time
SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time, a real-time operating system, is designed to reduce latency, increase predictability, and reliability of time-sensitive and business-critical applications. Banks, manufacturers, government agencies, and others depend on time-dependent applications that must run accurately and predictably every time. Distributed systems must be able to act as one unit. This is true for both within the server and across all servers. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which synchronizes servers over a high-speed network, achieves sub-microsecond accuracy. Support for device interrupt threads allows tuning at the device level and hardware latency detectors ensure predictable application behavior. SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time gives users the time advantage they need to win over the competition.
