What if you could manage your Ubuntu hosts the same way you manage your containerized applications? Managing Ubuntu hosts traditionally means configuration management, package updates, and drift control using tools like Puppet, Chef, or shell automation. Bootc streamlines the process. A Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project, bootc lets you define your Ubuntu systems as OCI container images and deploy them consistently across bare metal, virtual machines, edge devices, or cloud environments.
