- 4. snapcraft.io • Package any app for every Linux desktop, server, cloud or device, and deliver updates directly. • How do snaps work? • A snap is a fancy zip file containing an application together with its dependencies, and a description of how it should safely be run on your system, especially the different ways it should talk to other software. • Most importantly snaps are designed to be secure, sandboxed, containerised applications isolated from the underlying system and from other applications. Snaps allow the safe installation of apps from any vendor on mission critical devices and desktops
- 5. First Touch • snapcraft file • yaml format • easy to understand • documentation - some improvements won’t hurt for sure • conclusion: not hard to get started with
- 6. Challenges • sorting out how to enforce or release the restrictions • what an application is allowed to do

- 8. The Commits
- 9. Future Work • deploy the tools in the snap • kamctl, kamcmd, … • inter-working with other snaps • mysql server, … • performance evaluation • snaps, containers, virtual machine and bare metal
- 10. And Then … • add it to the snaps store • become rich and retire young
