AERIF OS

A future operating environment built around capabilities and choice.

The direction

Only what the work needs.

AERIF OS is a strategic direction for a modular, capability-driven and provider-driven operating environment. Local-first behavior, on-demand services, machine profiles, and recovery/rollback inform the concept, with a Linux-first foundation/provider direction.

Concept architecture / no implemented OS

01 / Intent

Capability request

A task asks for a capability.

02 / Lifecycle

AERIF Runtime

The proposed machine layer resolves what needs to run.

03 / Choice

Selected provider

A compatible provider supplies the work.

04 / Resources

Hardware / service

The current machine sets the boundaries.

Dashed connections represent intended behavior only. Other AERIF products do not require AERIF OS. Core remains the separate suite foundation.

Planned

Capabilities before providers

Describe a requested capability, then resolve it through a compatible provider. Concept only.

Planned

A machine-aware environment

Machine profiles and on-demand services are proposed ways to adapt the environment to the work.

Planned

Recovery as a design concern

Recovery and rollback are architectural goals with implementation still ahead.

Coming Soon / concept only

No OS implementation or download exists. Follow the broader development direction.
