Abstract
A feature is updated on a computing device. One or more composite image files are accessed that correspond to updates to be implemented in the computing device. The composite image files are signed containers. A runtime in-memory merge of the composite image files is performed. The merged composite image files are exposed as a read-only volume. The features are made available to the computing device. A system boot using the read-only volume can be initiated.
