ChatLoopBackOff Episode 77: bootc with Henrik Rexed

In this episode of ChatLoopBackOff, CNCF Ambassador Henrik Rexed explores bootc, a CNCF project that reimagines the operating system as a container image. bootc brings the "build once, run anywhere" container workflow to the host OS. By using OCI-compliant images to manage the entire system, it allows platform teams to handle OS updates and security patches through the same registries and CI/CD pipelines used for applications. It’s a transactional, atomic approach designed to eliminate configuration drift and enable true GitOps for infrastructure. Henrik will take a hands-on look at how bootc works with live exploration and an honest assessment of its role in modern platform engineering. Whether you're into immutable infrastructure, edge computing, or streamlining Linux lifecycles, join us for this practical dive into bootc!
