Build the machine
Turn requirements and recipes into ISO or disk-image artifacts that can move beyond the build service.
A different boundary from a development environment
OpenFactory focuses on the complete Linux system: its packages, services, users, desktop, boot path, artifact, and validation. It can complement local development environment and package tools, but does not pretend to be a host-shell activator or private package registry.
Inspect what runs
Boot the actual result in an isolated VM and use repeatable terminal, service, desktop, or visual checks.
Retain evidence
Keep artifact identity, CycloneDX inventory, build records, and test outcomes connected for review.
Scope the boundary
Validate hosted, customer-cloud, on-premises, and disconnected requirements through a bounded enterprise pilot.
Choose the outcome, then prove it
Each solution uses the same underlying loop while emphasizing a different operational outcome.
- 01
Select a real workload
Use an image and operating boundary that already matter to a platform, security, fleet, or agent workflow.
- 02
Build and exercise it
Produce the artifact and validate its actual runtime behavior in an isolated VM.
- 03
Review the evidence
Inspect the result, its software inventory, test output, and any gaps before deciding on production adoption.
Explore the operating outcome
These pages separate available capabilities from the integrations that still require a technical pilot.
Platform engineering
Standardize complete Linux images and provide teams a versioned, tested artifact rather than a machine setup runbook.
Platform engineeringSoftware supply chain
Connect image recipes, artifacts, CycloneDX inventory, hashes, and runtime validation evidence.
Software supply chainCVE remediation
Assess supported inventories, rebuild a replacement image, and validate it before a scoped rollout path.
CVE remediationAI agent infrastructure
Give agents authenticated MCP tools and isolated VMs so generated work can be operated and tested.
AI agent infrastructureSolution questions
Does OpenFactory replace developer environment tools?
No. OpenFactory can include development tools in a Linux image, but its product boundary is the complete bootable system and its validation, not activation inside the host shell.
Which enterprise capabilities are generally available?
Image builds, VM validation, CycloneDX inventory, supported CVE assessment, MCP operations, and organization-scoped workflows are available. Customer-controlled deployment and integrated rollout paths are scoped through a pilot.
How should a team evaluate OpenFactory?
Choose one representative Linux image, define acceptance checks and its deployment boundary, and run a technical pilot that ends with an artifact, evidence, and a fit and gap decision.
Start with a machine that already creates operational work
A single representative image can reveal the value of versioned builds, VM validation, software evidence, and a controlled deployment boundary.
