Photon

Photon OS: Linux Container Host

Contents

What is Photon OS?

Photon OS™ is an open source Linux container host optimized for cloud-native applications, cloud platforms, and VMware infrastructure. Photon OS provides a secure run-time environment for efficiently running containers. Some of the key highlights of Photon OS are:

  • Optimized for VMware hypervisor: The Linux kernel is tuned for performance when Photon OS runs on VMware ESXi.

  • Support for containers: Photon OS includes the Docker daemon and works with container orchestration frameworks, such as Mesos and Kubernetes.

  • Efficient lifecycle management: Photon OS is easy to manage, patch, and update, using the tdnf package manager and the Photon Management Daemon Next Gen (pmd-next-gen).

  • Security hardened: Photon OS provides secure and up-to-date kernel and other packages, and its policies are designed to govern the system securely.

For an overview of Photon OS, see https://vmware.github.io/photon/

Getting Photon OS

Photon OS binaries are available in a number of formats, including ISO, OVA and cloud images such as Amazon AMI, Google Cloud GCE image and Azure VHD.

For download instructions and links to Photon OS binaries, go to the Download Guide.

Photon OS 4.0 GA is here!

Photon OS 4.0 provides support for the Real Time flavor of kernel linux-rt, SELinux , installer improvements, PMD role management improvements and critical updates to OSS packages including linux kernel, systemd, and glibc.

For an overview of changes, see What's New in Photon OS 4.0.

To help you get started making contributions to Photon OS, we have collected some helpful best practices in the Contributing guidelines.

Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue or discuss it first with the official project maintainers via the #photon Slack Channel, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.
