Right, this is a pretty good summary (that docker is 1 level above). One fundamental difference is that OSTree has a custom serialization format for trees (inspired by git), whereas from what I can tell from the code,…
The snapshot + "live upgrade in place" has quite different semantics. First, while I am actually looking at LVM snapshots for a different project, making them actually atomic would require integrating with the…
