Questions about OuterSpace OS

Is this a container image?

It is an operating-system disk image, assembled from Ubuntu packages. Containers are the workloads it hosts. The first image targets worker nodes.

Can it replace the OS in an AKS node pool?

No. Managed AKS requires its supported node images. OuterSpace can be tested on Azure VMs in self-managed Kubernetes, while portable applications can also run on AKS.

Does P2P eliminate images on every machine?

Each node still needs the layers it executes. Dragonfly can reduce repeated origin traffic by sharing content between peers. Model-weight storage remains separate.

When are unused images removed?

Kubelet owns runtime GC with a configured 24-hour maximum unused age and 80%/65% disk-pressure thresholds. Age tracking resets when kubelet restarts. Dragonfly's peer cache uses a separate six-hour TTL. These policies still need lifecycle tests.

Is GPU inference supported?

A GPU profile is planned. Driver/kernel compatibility, signed modules, CDI and a real inference test on hardware must be validated before claiming support.

Is it production ready or CIS certified?

No. It is a development foundation with explicit qualification gates. There is no stable release or completed CIS audit.

Is it a Flatcar fork?

No. It takes inspiration from the small, immutable container-host approach and assembles its own image from Ubuntu packages.
