The current version of Nokia Linuxes build system builds a monolithic distribution. This creates a multitude of problems ranging from having to rebuild all of the distribution’s software packages after patching a single package to not being able to efficiently customise images according to user needs. The current version also lacks any kind of stable release management causing every user to either maintain their own stable releases or having to constantly update from the official version. Apart from being too monolithic, the support of the software packages is insufficient. An efficient support team needs to be created to answer any internal support requests Nokia Linux users might have. In this thesis we first define our corporate environmental needs. We identify three needs: support, storage and security. We then define three methods for organising the support.

  • Jeos Quick Start Guide
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server JeOS 15 SP2 JeOS Quick Start Guide The following document provides an overview of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server JeOS and describes the setup procedure. Publication Date: September 24, 2021 Contents 1 Introduction 2 2 Available Image Flavors 5 3 Installing and Running JeOS on KVM 9 1 SLES 15 SP2 1 Introduction JeOS (Just enough Operating System) refers to a minimal customizable operating system that is tailored for a specic usage scenario: a container host, a virtual machine guest, an appliance base, or a small server image. JeOS acts as a foundation for building systems for use in a data center, creating desired virtual application images or appliances. You can choose what packages and components to install based on a specic use case. To that end, JeOS provides access to all regular software repositories. If you already have SUSE Linux Enterprise Server certication, you are automatically certied for JeOS, as it is derived from the same code base. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server JeOS allows you to reduce the operating system to the packages essential for the specic usage scenario. This minimizes the number of packages and patches that need to be managed and applied. By removing unnecessary packages, you also reduce the number of potential vulnerabilities, thus making the resulting system more secure. Reducing the system's footprint also results in lower resource consumption and improved performance. JeOS is delivered as pre-congured and ready-to-run virtual machine images. The system comes with the jeos-firstboot wizard for conguring system locales and the root password during the rst boot.
