Snappy Ubuntu Core
summary
Ubuntu Core replaces traditional DEB packages with snap packages and uses image-based installs, A/B partitioning and transactional updates so systems and applications can rollback if an update fails. It targets IoT devices (routers, switches, drones, smart fridges) and supports hardware like BeagleBone Black and KVM images, and the talk demonstrates tools such as the snappy CLI, the webdm store, snapcraft for building snaps, private stores, sandboxed frameworks/apps, a visible /apps file layout, and real versioned installs with rollback.
