ALP - The New Frontier of the Operating System for Containers
summary
A new Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP) built on kernel 6.4 is presented as downloadable QCOW prototypes updated every few months. It packages system services (networking, installer, desktop) as containers and supports Podman, Docker and containerd, uses NetworkManager by default, provides SELinux plus an AppArmor-to-SELinux translation tool, TPM-backed full-disk encryption and confidential-computing features; YaST is shown running entirely in a container so the host needs no Ruby. The platform aims for self-tuning, zero-touch lifecycle management and a reduced attack surface.
