Amutable opens private preview signups for Lennart Poettering's verified Linux platform
Amutable, co-founded by SystemD creator Lennart Poettering after he left Microsoft, has opened signups for a private preview of Amutable Foundations, a managed service for running cryptographically verified, image-based Linux systems. The platform builds on two existing open-source tools, tine and Quarry, and adds a hosted control plane that manages signed OS images, updates and vulnerability fixes. Machines boot only signed images and continuously send signed reports of their state, which Amutable's control plane checks against the declared configuration using systemd-report, an experimental systemd 260 feature the company helped develop.
