Going with my earlier circle, I'd say that Base Design is Ring 1, and there is actually a not-pictured Ring 0 inside that, which represents the minimal installable system. > Would it be possible to describe a bit the picture? Sure. The following is kind of a brain dump rather than an organized presentation -- you can read the paragraphs out of order if it helps. :) The basic idea is that we have Workstation, Cloud, Server (and, not pictured, various spins) drawn from the general package collection, possibly composed with rpm-ostree (and likely an rpm-ostree with extensions to its current capability allowing more local "overlays" — something Colin has talked about but not implemented because it's outside of the Atomic use case). The various rectangles next to each edition represent layering technologies, whether they be ostree overlays, docker or other containers, or the LinuxApps effort. Ideally, these are _all_ implemented with container technologies, although I'm not quite sure we're there yet. For Server, it's the Server Roles (obviously, I hope). For Workstation, I drew these as _modules_ comprising functional bundles of software, because as a user, that's an level _I'd_ find useful (with individual applications installable as a separate thing). For Cloud, I wrote Docker, but we don't necessarily want to be completely tied to that — if Project Atomic continues to be successful, I envision that eventually being the _primary_ Fedora Cloud output, with the minimal cloud base image being a side deliverable. The dotted line for IOT or SDN represents suggested Internet of Things or Software Defined Networking editions which have been informally suggested but not formally proposed or worked on. Everything in the blue circle is basically what we think of as the Fedora OS today. If this were a 3D diagram, I might draw the rounded rectangles as floating above. The orange circle extends outside of traditional Fedora OS, but I'd love for people to start thinking about the Fedora brand as bigger and more inclusive than just the distro as it exists. I've put a dotted line on the outside of that to indicate that it's really a fuzzy border. Also of note, see the Docker containers for the cloud edition stepping outside of the blue circle. I suggest that at some point at least _some_ components which are part of a standard edition will consist of containers built from source right to a docker container, eschewing the middle step of building RPMs — but giving us the same traceability and verifiability. (Maybe these containers will be built in koji, for example.) I didn't draw it, but I think the Playground actually exists on the border between orange and blue, but really more inside than out. Maybe it's best drawn as an incursion of the orange circle into the blue one. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
