Snappy UbuntuWhat do we need to have Apps Everywhere?Apps need to run securely, be easily remotely upgradeable & run on a small OS.

SECURE EFFICIENT

The OS needs to be small to fit in many devices.

The OS should be extendible to support for

all type of extensions.

Malicious or faulty code can not affect other apps or the OS. Security issues

can be reliably and remotely fixed.

EASY

Creating, upgrading and rollback of apps should be

easy. Programmers package and test their software and industrial users get updates

minutes later.

Snappy Ubuntu Core = Ubuntu for Industrial Internet of ThingsUpgrade Ubuntu Core, Snapworks and Snaps transactionally. Faulty updates can be easily rolled back remotely. Each Snap is sandboxed. Only pre-approved capabilities are allowed.

Ubuntu Core

Snappy App Snap Snap

A Snap is just an archive and a config file. You can remotely upgrade and rollback new versions transactionally.

I am a Snappy App or Snap that runs in a secure sandbox. I only have read-only access to Ubuntu.

Snappy Framework

Snapwork

I am the thinnest Ubuntu possible. I can be remotely upgraded and rollbacked transactionally.

Snapworks extends Ubuntu Core with specific hardware or software frameworks that are transactionally upgradeable.
