AppArmor

AppArmor is a Linux kernel security module that enforces mandatory access control (MAC) policies to restrict programs' capabilities, thereby enhancing system security. By confining applications to predefined profiles, AppArmor limits their access to system resources, mitigating potential threats from both known and unknown vulnerabilities. Integrated into the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.36, AppArmor has been actively supported by Canonical since 2009.

Fedora

Fedora IoT is a specialized edition of the Fedora Linux operating system, designed to provide a robust and flexible foundation for Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing environments. It leverages the latest open-source technologies to deliver a container-based host system that runs efficiently on a variety of hardware platforms, including x86_64 and ARM architectures. This makes it particularly suitable for deploying workloads outside traditional data centers, such as on edge devices.
