EDIT: After careful consideration, the talk will have less focus on introduction & basics and rather focus on my practical experience with Fedora CoreOS as basis for a Virtual Appliance. The slides will contain links to existing tutorials & talks, so you don't miss out on the introduction & basics.
There are multiple ways to make your software accessible for your users. One way is to deploy directly at the users (On-Premises) via Virtual Appliances. But why and how should one do that?
This talk will give an introduction to immutable infrastructure and Virtual Appliances based on a real-world use case and Fedora CoreOS. Emphasis is also on development, support, lifecycle management and working with/around constraints.
After the talk, you will know what Virtual Appliances are about and can decide if you want to take a closer look at it. Also, you will have a good idea how to start developing your own. Basic knowledge of Linux and Virtual Machines can help to understand the topic quicker.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask me before, during (Q/A part) or after the talk.
