What is openSUSE MicroOS?
openSUSE MicroOS is a modern Linux Operating System, designed for container hosts and optimized for large deployments. It inherits the openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise knowledge while redefining the operating system into a small, efficient and reliable distribution.

openSUSE MicroOS is not a separate distribution, but is bundled as part of openSUSE Kubic, a Container as a Service platform. However, there is a system role "openSUSE MicroOS" which can be selected during installation to get a standalone openSUSE MicroOS system installed. openSUSE Kubic itself is an openSUSE Tumbleweed variant.

In a Nutshell
OS focused only on containers
Minimal images designed for one special Use Case
Optimised for large deployments, but capable as a single machine container-host
Reduced end-user interactions
An always up-to-date Operating System
Safe way to update the system
Highlights
Transactional Updates using Btrfs with snapshots for updates and rollback
Read-only root filesystem
cloud-init for initial system configuration during first boot
Rolling Release: Every time we release a new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot, we will also release a new openSUSE Kubic snapshot
Designed to fit perfectly into existing openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise environments
Podman/CRI-O and Docker Container Runtimes both available
