OS as a Service at Meta Platforms (asg2025)

Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (high quality)

I overview how OS management is done at Meta. We run millions of Linux servers and we have to make sure that OS gets updated on all of them in a given period of time. To do that we developed several products: MetalOS (Image based version of CentOS), Antlir (image builder) and Rolling OS Update (a service that keeps a set of DNF repos in sync with upstream repos and uses them to update OS ) Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/de/ about this event: https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/all-systems-go-2025/talk/VNCDRL/
