A Moby-based container engine for IoT

This looks like a great project. I have a few questions in case the maintainers read this.<p>- Do you plan to stay up-to-date with new Moby releases, or is it a one-time hard fork?<p>- Do you plan on contributing some of the IoT optimizations back into mainline Moby over time?<p>- If you have contributed to Moby in the past, what&#x27;s your experience of contributing, is the community welcoming?<p>- What&#x27;s the planned differenciation between Balena and Resin.io?

For some extra context (differences, features, comparison), here are the slides introducing Balena at the Moby Summit last year:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.slideshare.net&#x2F;resin_io&#x2F;balena-a-mobybased-container-engine-for-iot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.slideshare.net&#x2F;resin_io&#x2F;balena-a-mobybased-conta...</a><p>(too bad that the talk wasn&#x27;t recorded by the organizers, as far as I know)

but why, tho?<p>What sorts of devices would benefit from a system like this? Can someone give me sone use cases where being able to run containers on embedded devices would be useful? The tech seems pretty cool, but I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around it as someone who&#x27;s experience with embedded stops at hacking on raspi&#x2F;arduino&#x2F;esp* devices

Looks like a great project! What is stopping Docker from using binary diffing in general? It seems it would be a big win for them, I imagine their AWS bandwidth bill is absolutely gigantic.

Hmm, Moby is quite avant-garde, or at least was back in the day... But why would anyone want to build IoT products on top of an aging DJ?<p>(... I&#x27;ll show myself out.)
