Build Your K8s Ready Distro With BootC
summary
Builds an OS image as a container and boots it: uses Podman Desktop with the Bootc extension to build a Fedora-based bootable container, convert it to a raw disk, and start a VM on an M1 Mac. Demonstrates Kubernetes moving from 1.32 → 1.33 by pushing a new image, running bootc update which stages the layered image, rebooting to apply the update, and executing a single-command rollback back to 1.32. CI workflow auto-builds images; AMI/GCP conversion and atomic rollbacks work.
