<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''ASD Linux''' (Adaptive Software Deployment Linux) is a **Ubuntu Server derivative** tailored for **DevOps and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines**. It is designed to be a standardized, minimal base image for automated build and test servers.<br />
<br />
== Base and Philosophy ==<br />
<br />
* '''Base Distribution:''' Based on **Ubuntu LTS (Long-Term Support) Server**, chosen for its long maintenance cycle, broad package availability, and robust foundation for headless server operation.<br />
* '''Goal:''' To provide a secure, predictable, and easily scriptable base image that can be rapidly provisioned (via tools like Vagrant, Packer, or cloud images) to serve as a reliable node in an automated software development workflow.<br />
<br />
== Core Features ==<br />
<br />
* '''CI/CD Tools:''' Ships with essential tools for modern deployment pipelines, including **Docker, Podman, and the official clients/agents for major CI/CD platforms** (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab Runners).<br />
* '''Minimal and Secure:''' The image is kept minimal, with only necessary dependencies, and is heavily secured out-of-the-box, enforcing principles like minimal service exposure and strong user isolation.<br />
* '''Cloud Optimization:''' Kernel and system settings are tuned for high-speed I/O and efficient virtualization, making it an ideal candidate for deployment across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).<br />
* '''Target User:''' DevOps engineers, system architects, and software development teams who manage automated infrastructure for building, testing, and deploying their applications at scale.</div>Shaunak Chakraborty
