The second generation of an in-house built operating system, named Voltumna Linux, which is based on immutable image approach, is now ready for production, supporting a number of commercial-off-the-shelf embedded systems. Moreover, the same approach is perfectly suitable for rack-mount servers, with large memory support, that often require the inclusion of third party or closed source packages. Being entirely based on Git for revision control, Voltumna Linux brings in a number of advantages, such as reproducibility of the product, ease of upgrading or downgrading complete systems, centralized management and deployment of the user software to name a few.
