Welcome to the Garden Linux Project

Garden Linux Logo

👋 Welcome to the official GitHub presence of Garden Linux. We are part of ApeiroRA which is an Important Project of Common European Interest - Next Generation Cloud Infrastructures and Services (IPCEI-CIS).

🌐 ApeiroRA?

ApeiroRA is a reference blueprint for an open, flexible, secure, and compliant next-generation cloud-edge continuum and therefore a key contribution to IPCEI-CIS. At a high level, the projects of ApeiroRA allow users to provider-agnostically fetch, request and consume services, and for service providers to describe, offer and provision their services.

Learn more about ApeiroRA by checking out the official website at https://apeirora.eu/.

🤝 Garden Linux

Garden Linux is a Debian GNU/Linux derivate that aims to provide small, auditable Linux images for most cloud providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP etc.) and bare-metal machines. Garden Linux is the best Linux for Gardener nodes. Garden Linux provides great possibilities for customizing that is made by a highly customizable feature set to fit your needs.

📌 Garden Linux and NeoNephos
