No, Ancor didn't write that either.
ALP concepts are indeed focused on Server Workloads (since this is what mostly interest SUSE as a company), where we will focus on containers and virtual machines. I wonder how these virtual machines are deployed then? You might need less hardware support in the kernel for these, but the rest of the operating system for those is pretty much like what Carlos imagines for his Leap system, no?
When you say "deployed", I assume you mean "created". In that case, there is several ways, either with an image-creation tool (kiwi, packer, suse studio express) or using a minimal VM as base and run some config management tool or use an installer. This part is not set in stone yet on ALP.
So if we use the "host os" kernel together with the operating system meant for virtual machines we can still have what we need to have for the containerless OS, right?
Yes, of course. But at least for ALP, this is not something we are focusing. If people in openSUSE community wants to still continue on this path, nobody will stop them. -- Frederic CROZAT Enterprise Linux OS and Containers Architect SUSE
