Production-ready embedded Linux systems require - among other traits - operational robustness while occupying a compact storage space. Besides, those systems often lack network connectivity. On top of that, running containers on this type of system brings up many challenges from the industrialization point of view.

This presentation will describe how these problems can be addressed from a system industrialization perspective, and how these requirements can be implemented using a immutable root filesystem featuring build-time Docker image integration. A quick demonstration will highlight these approaches using a meta-layer developed to put those techniques in practice.
