Abstract
One example method includes creating an image definition file, using the image definition file to create an image that is deployable to an edge device, copying an agent into the image, stripping any user passwords out of the image, and removing any unnecessary packages from the image, and after the stripping and the removing, the image becomes an immutable image. The immutable image may then be deployed to a group of edge devices, and one or more layers of the immutable image may be updated by the agent.
