FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP )

FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) is an software architecture that serves as a foundation for server application, application stacks and server frameworks built on top of the FedoraOS, providing solid secure flexible and scalable server foundation with advanced control and manageability for more robust server environments.

FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) consist of:

  • GNU/Linux kernel to provide scalable operating system kernel.
  • Dracut to provide an initramfs infrastructure.
  • Systemd to provide service initialization, scalable system and network and container management and more.
  • SELinux to provide mandatory access controls.
  • BTRFS to provide filesystems with scalability,performance and security.
  • DNF to provide Package Management
  • Multipathd to provide input-output (I/O) fail-over and load-balancing for block devices.
  • Bash to provide an command-line interface for interacting with the operating system.
  • Util-Linux to provide a suite of essential tools and utilities.
  • Openssh to provide secure remote access to the server
  • NTP to provide networked clock synchronization.
  • SSSD to provide access to identity and authentication remote resource through a common framework that can provide caching and offline support to the system.
